Pros:
1) Elevation change is the key to the challenge and the fun factor here. You play up and down and across a whole lot of slopes. The uphills are challenging because of the steepness of those holes. You need to release the disc differently on these holes. The downhills are challenging because you never know I you are going to get an updraft that will pick up and carry your disc much further than intended. The sideslopes can be tricky because it is so easy to get a roll-a-way on these hills. All in all this was an excellent course for elevation change.
2) Mach baskets with number plates are some of my favorite baskets. They have seen a lot of play, and I would guess punk vandalism. Still decent baskets, but not perfectly new by any means.
3) It looks like they retrofitted the old DGA signs with their own maps and tee signs. The signs have Hole #, Par, Distance and a map of the hole.
4) This course had a few garbage cans scattered to help prevent litter from becoming a problem.
5) Practice basket is set off to the other side of the parking lot from the course. It is tucked underneath some old trees and in its own little area which is actually kind of nice.
6) Beginner friendly because of the shorter distance of all the holes, see also cons. It also would be tough to lose a disc out here, so that won't discourage the one disc wonders from playing here.
7) Average amount of foliage density variety. There are a couple of tighter holes, while most are fairly open with some key trees or obstacles. The rest are fairly open, but when elevation comes into play, it is hardly noticeable, you need to control every shot out here or suffer the consequences from something.
Cons:
1) Erosion and compaction are quite obviously an issue on this course. It is to be expected on a skihill type layout . . .grass just doesn't stand up to heavy traffic on severe slopes. And getting new grass to grow in is difficult because you cannot keep nutrients and moisture on these areas, it all just runs off.
2) Overall the holes are very short, almost everything should be reachable in 1 shot even the longer downhill holes.
3) The distance variation is not very good here with almost all holes in the 200' range and the elevation and slopes equalizing the longer holes with the shorter holes making everything play similar.
4) Tees are bad and would be even worse after a rain for sure. They are worn down and a deep rut has formed. This rut will eventually collect water and be slick, and then the compaction will get worse. It is never-ending if they are not maintained.
5) Many tee signs are missing, just look for the rutted out tee area and throw from there. Every hole is reachable so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
Other Thoughts:
This is a one trick pony . . . elevation is the key to this course. Learn how to throw on it and you will take a lot of good information to other courses. You have to think about the elevation on every shot, so you get a lot of good practice deciphering what the elevation change will do to your throws. Yet again, this course has a valid reason for being here if you can focus on the benefits of playing here.
