Every hole had its own unique challenges to consider. There's variety and good views. There is some thorny Russian olives and rose bushes that can make retrieving discs hard or extremely challenging, so have some backups.

Lots of complaints from folks who clearly don't golf enough. Tee pads were dirt but fine - as advertised. Yes, this is mountain-style golf and it is in a canyon where it is windy. Stop whining and grab an overstable disc and throw! Be thankful you can.

The original 9 basket layout is okay. The shots feel the same after a while. However, I’m scoring this course based on the addition of 9 new holes. I saw the baskets and played them even though they’re not currently on the app. They are definitely still working on that part of the course, but it was easy to follow and I was impressed with the shot shape variety. The new holes are a little of fun.!! Hole 1 needs to have the distance adjusted on UDisc; hoping the course admin sees this.
