Fun to play on a golf course for the first time, it was well laid out to avoid the ball golf areas. The course could use more signage to find the next tree pad.

Let me start with the most important aspect first, player safety. Hole 14 the sign in to the front flight of the tee box in the follow through area. This should never happen when designing a course. Our son hit the sign on his follow-through. We had to end our round and make a trip to urgent care to get an x-ray and have cuts on 3 of his fingers attended to. Luckily he did not break anything but his had is injured and he was not able to play anymore on our trip. Other safety issues include significant tears and damaged turf on the tee boxes that are trip hazards. The course is in a senic area with good views however the tee boxes and targets are poorly placed on most holes to enjoy the view. Virtually all of the targets are not level either. Safety, course design, and player expirence seem have not been considered. There were some nice elevation changes but overall the expirence was not good. Trying to be as subjective as possible but its hard to when you leave a course injured, have your opertunity to play other courses round and end up with a significant medical bill due to poor design. Will be contacting owner.

Really good use of the golf course for the hole design, there is quite a few holes that are similar distance drives but the greens are pretty interesting to spice up the approach shots. Tee pads are nice and nothing feels unfair or flukey.

Pretty well kept with good signage at each tee but way finding is difficult without the app. On a golf course so long, clear drives but shot variety is limited.

One of the most beautiful courses I’ve ever played. The course design leaves a lot to be desired though. The front 9 mostly follows the ball golf fairway with the basket sitting on the woodline. A couple of these holes are absurdly long with literally nothing in the way. Hole 9 is an awesome downhill shot and most of the back 9 is much more interesting and utilizes the trees and elevation. I recommended playing it if you’re close just for the views and experience. However, I personally would never play the course a second time.

Amazing course, good balance playing alongside ball-golfers.

Beautiful scenery and great amenities! But very boring course. Watch a couple years of Portland Open to see how to design a disc golf course on a ball golf course. There are a LOT of opportunities for improvement on this really nice property.

More signage to next tee pad from previous hole

@asapwes

We played the front 9! Good time!

@iseethehacks

Course on home 8 and 16 were really wet still from snow but super challenging holes with amazing scenery! One of my favorite courses yet.

@toolman

Nice wide open long course. Well maintained in a beautiful setting.

@derekunruh

Somewhat hard course but really nice.

Fantastic course, with golf carts. Hard to beat it. The drive to this course from anchorage is amazing aswell, worth the drive to get to the course. Beluga Point is a must stop

@yeahbuddy87

Fairly open course with some longer holes. Tee pads in progress.

@bdw017

Well maintained and and disc golf friendly course. Players are staggered with the traditional golfers, with managed start times. Several long holes. The only problem I experienced were traditional golfers not practicing proper etiquette.

@andersonjones

Amazing. Great course. Fairly long but fun

@mooreparz

Needs more clarity on where tee pads are and distances on signs don’t match the app. But it’s a fun course!

My first pay to play course. Almost every hole was open, so very beginner friendly. It can be hard to find the next tee at times and it lacks any tee pads.
