Here we don't go again

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 20, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

SKIP TO UPDATE BELOW, FOR 2023 SUMMER ONLY:

-Alpine setting. -Cool Escape from hot days down in town. -Big air shots. -Awesome views from above the base. -Should be some good brews n foods n stuff.

Cons:

-Steeps and rough ground.
-Easy to lose or ding up your discs.
-Short summer season.
-Some rock lined tees narrow and rough.
-Raw 'temp course'.

Other Thoughts:

NEW UPDATE FOR 2023: FULL DISCLOSURE, I WILL NOT BE PAYING THE TWENTY BUCKS FOR THIS LATEST FIASCO. IF ANYONE TELLS ME 1.5 STARS IS UNFAIR, I WILL PASS THAT ALONG. THIS REVIEW IS WHAT I CAN TELL YOU FOR NOW.

Since TSV finally was handed a pretty good version of their old course....it was only a matter of time before they pulled it. YES...they pulled the '3 star Tim's Course'.

For 2023 ONLY, a raw and rugged temp course is at the top of the frontside Chair 1. Unless you are a serious hiker, (it's over 1600 feet of vertical climb), you will need a lift ticket. (17 Jr 20Sr 25.00 adults). A full season pass will get you up there, but partial passes are only a 10% discount. No PDGA discounts.

Rumor has it the REAL course may be up Chair 4 on the back someday, which would be an upgrade....but a TSV rep had no info on that...I'm sticking with 'rumor has it'.

Contact Taos Ski Valley for closing dates. Wear boots or hiking shoes, bring food and water, and check ahead for lightening.

Taos Ski Valley DGC 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 31, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice location in Taos Ski Valley - very dramatic scenery, good use of topography, nearby shelter/amenities, maps and directions provided at Taos Ski & Boot.

Cons:

Tight intersecting holes at times, no long holes, unneccessary hole closures.

Other Thoughts:

A pleasant course if you are in the Taos area. Ski Valley is about 40 minutes from Taos plaza. Check out Taos Cow in Arroyo Seco for food and ice cream on your way down.
