One of my pet peeves here is people who put blind baskets as a con in their reviews since it made their first time through more difficult and less fun. That is a bogus con! Courses are not designed for drive-by reviewers, but for people who will play the course repeatedly.
Blind basket locations almost always make the course better since they add skill and they add a little excitement/anticipation/trepidation once your disc is in the air. IMO, that adds to the fun-factor.
On the flip side, holes with multiple blind pins that do not have maps showing the current position of the basket is a legit con. It is legit since locals/regulars will repeatedly have to walk down the fairway to scope things out to see where the basket is today.
