The great equalizer. Tightly-wooded fairways with lots of elevation at play make for a truly challenging course that favors finesse over firepower. MOST of the holes are unique among the rest of the course and not one of them is truly a "gimme". The course will punish you for being greedy or overconfident. Most of the holes are <300' but it can seem like 1000' if you find yourself having to scramble from tree-jail. Course is well-maintained and equipped with 18 discraft disc-catcher baskets as well as grade level wooden tee boxes. The view of the rockies on the last few holes is worth the hike. If you can shoot below par on this course, you're doing a LOT of things right because it's not that common even for the locals. Id like a few more open holes personally as the few longer one's on the course are still laden with hazards if you have too much side-to-side. A very fun, challenging, albeit: occasionally frustrating course with something for everyone. Well worth the trip.

Very challenging shots at the 250-325 range. Elevation changes make using a cart difficult. Very wooded, but low cut back bushes. Discs that are green/yellow/clear are easily lost. Par scores are misl ... show more ›

Very challenging shots at the 250-325 range. Elevation changes make using a cart difficult. Very wooded, but low cut back bushes. Discs that are green/yellow/clear are easily lost. Par scores are misleading - a score of par to +5 on an 18 is very, very good. Hardest course I have played in Alberta. More courses are needed in the area to make the Hinton course into more than just a tournament destination. With continued enthusiastic efforts from local disc golfers, this course could become a gem. A bit of brush and tree maintenance is needed.

I love playing this course! Fun technical lines through a beautiful forest with nice elevation changes. Well signed and easy to find your way to baskets and tees. Birdie opps are there on every hole if you find a good line through the tight fairways and make it through the trees. You'll need some for when trees happen;) A few open holes to let er rip. Good times!
