I went just after a storm hit. It was so windy that it was almost unplayable. Still so much fun and beautiful. Would like to play it when it's not so windy. This course should be played mostly to say you did it not to be competitive

Gorgeous course. You're on top of a mountain with nothing but beauty on all sides. Weather was sunny and warm. Surprisingly the top of the mountain wasn't windy, at all. Would HIGHLY recommend using the lift to get up and down the mountain. Did I mention it's stunning on top? Plenty of shot variety, with some bomber holes too. Some creeks and brooks, but no real water hazards. Teepads were fine, signage was a little weak but not terrible and udisc covers it well. Easy to find discs that were bad throws, not much chance of losing a disc. Some elevation change too, so plenty of walking. Have a 2nd pair of footwear for when you are done, can be soggy walking around up top. 9 hole course is designed at the 9th tee to get you back to the chair lift, not back to the first tee. So it's a little bit of a slog to get back to hole one if you are playing the 9 twice. No amenities really at the top of the mountain aside from a bathroom near the lift. But at the bottom a cafe is available with food/drinks. Absolutely loved it, would recommend.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND BEING FINISHED BY 4:30PM. That’s the last lift down for the day. £17 for a lift pass + £6 to play a 9 hole course. If you get a 1 way lift ticket it’s only £12, but then you have to walk down a very long, steep footpath (~30 min scary walk). Would not recommend walking either way, personally. Do it for the scenery and novelty, don’t expect much from the course. There are a couple interesting holes, especially some fun downhill shots. Overall not worth doing twice.

May have been spoiled. Hot, sunny day with no wind. Feet got drenched. Got 1 disc for a rental. Seemed pretty stable. Scenery was breathtaking. Highly recommend visiting this course!!

2 Tees missing, advanced course especially when windy. But: BEAUTYFUL view and wildlife. A must when you are around.

The views alone are worth the £15 lift price and £5 per day for the disc golf. Tees are in excellent condition. Nae trees but the ever changing conditions make it a good challenge. Boggy in places, but you're on the side of a mountain so to be expected. I brought my bike up and combined the frolf with some trails. Well worth the trip!

Great place to visit for a day out. Whilst the lack of trees means there’s not a huge amount of shot variety, the wind and elevation change ensures a challenge. Beautiful views on every hole. Take a waterproof jacket and hat for the chairlift, it can get chilly!

It’s a mountain course. Big throws with big wind. No trees. But fun. You won’t lose your discs, but it will cost you £20 to play (unless you walk up -£15). It’s a shame they installed the last 2 tee pads angled down. Would be an easy fix (for throwing) and would make the place look better. Oh I forgot to say, this course is worth every penny for the views. Also, heads up, the weather can change quickly.

Amazing course; views are incredible; I got lucky with lower wind levels; definitely wear good waterproof shoes; it’s boggy. I’d consider adjusting pars on hole 5 and 8; I’m under 800 rated and shot 2 eagles today (my first ever eagles); granted I had perfect conditions but just a thought…. LOVED this course though

Beautiful scenic course! Not a lot of shot variety as it is wide open, but good elevation change shots! Putting is hard in the wind 😞

@phadraig

Beautiful views, challenging wind and every facility you need. Worth a visit

Hole 4 can have a very strong head wind despite being calm at the tee!

Beautiful views. Tees are made of short turf. Classic baskets. First half is generally flat or uphill, back half downhill. Rocky terrain. Hiking boots and wind breaker recommended. If you shank a shot, you’re likely in a shallow bog/creek. $5 fee to play. 1 mile hike up or $15 chairlift

@ollisimonsen94

Definitely wear appropriate shoes and mountain gear. Bring water, food and wind jacket. Overstable discs required. Double check opening and closing hours and chairlift mandatory unless you want to hick up the mountain for two+ hours before you start your round. Short Red layout and Long Blue layout.
