I just met my friends mom a cpl days later and she was worried I was a self mutilater. "No, don't worry," I said. "We were just playing the newest course in the area and the ruff was ruff." She smiled w nervous relief.
So, after playing a few rounds out there, I noticed I was wanting not to deal w the 2 huge (firs?) in the middle of hole 5 and wanted to take the cheater route over basket#4 as the easiest way to get a 3( and not lose your disc.) This is a hotspot for safety for ppl playing on #4. Do you think there is mando potential there? Are you all taking this route too? Id prolly keep playin it this way, but try to alert upshotters on 4 a headsup, if its cool. Unless its a growing concern. Opinion course guru's?
Once the OB lines between 4 & 5 are set in stone and properly marked, I think a lot fewer people will be trying to take that route. I definitely know what you're talking about though.

I remember a discussion a few years ago; it centered on the two par 4s on a new local course and how tough it is to deal with any holes that were not a 3....so I'm wondering, are all those folks passing on BL or are they enrolled in fundamental math at PCC?

A hardy thank you to Dave, Jeff, Jeff and everyone else for bringing golf back to DG.

Just played the course for the first time over the weekend and I absolutely loved it, can't wait to see this course as it gets played in a bit more. First time through I pegged a 69, felt nice to hit the listed par right on the nose, 4 bogeys, 4 birdies.

What an incredible course!!!!!

First time up yesterday, I (Leland) threw 63 shots. Dustin K. went for a 61.

This course is a must play...and the rough is not THAT bad. The fairways are fair and accessible. Only the negative outcome of risk/reward earns one a search through the rough.

Big thanks to all who have put this course together.

Finally made it out there this weekend. Shot a 69 with 4 birds and 4 bogeys. Loved the course! I also didn't think the rough was that bad and our group of 3 came away with all of our plastic. Can't wait to come back and lower my score. Thank you so much to all the people that put in the hard work to make this happen.

Default I loved it
Played it Saturday (9/22) and LOVED it.
I have never played a course set up like this and it was amazing.

A couple holes could have been marked a little better.
Got lost once or twice but easily found our way.

I heard a lot of complaints about the rough, it wasn't THAT bad.
We started as a group of 2 and picked up another 2 on hole 4.
None of us lost any discs and while we spotted for each other on a couple of holes, we still spent a anxious few minutes looking for plastic.

Lots of different ways to play every hole; hyzers, anhyzers, rollers, tight gaps, and the ability to really rip it... all over the place.

Overall I ended up shooting a 64 and a 50ft putt on Hole 17 saved the bogey free round!
It was a blast.

What did I score? More than I would have liked.

I'm glad I played the course, because now I can say I did, and I don't ever have to play it again!

This course has already been beaten down very nicely, so you have no idea what it was like when it first opened. The tall grass was a wall and even if you saw where it landed, you could still lose your plastic. It is soooo much better now.

Well, I started this thread but only got out there today for the first time. An unbelievable course (thank you to all who worked on it). For such a long course it actually suits my game really well (I rarely throw further than 350'). Only 1 ob (on hole 18 of all holes). Happy to have parred 17 (again, I think my shorter throws helped on this hole) and finished with a pretty respectable (for me) 68.

Some low scores are definitely to be had. I've yet to hear of a round in the 50's but judging by what some people got on their first rounds there I'm sure that a round in the 50's has already happened. I know I won't be hitting that but I'm confident that I could get my score down to the low 60's on a good day.

79 on the first day, gradually worked my way down to a 71 with a lost disc stroke on 17. Still much room for improvement in my score for sure. The back 9 tears me up, while I almost aways finish under par by 2 or 3 on the front 9.

I've unofficially heard a couple of 62's. Despite being 10,000' ft in length this course is loaded with birdie opportunities / forgiving par 4's.
