Many hidden baskets make finding holes difficult, tee signs not much help, hole location indicators sometimes inaccurate or illegible. Way too much poison oak - it’s no longer “ambiance”. Somewhat overgrown. Slightly errant shots should not result in a bad rash or hour-long disc search. Still this course is iconic and Top of the World tee is satisfying. Could be a 5 with some attention.

Incredible course. I would like something on the tee signs to know what tee position I’m shooting for, but other than that DeLa is an absolute gem. Watch out for poison oak.

This would be a absolute top tier course if not for the absurd amount of poison oak, and some minor issues with adjacent/overlapping fairways. Super fun and challenging lines and beautiful location. The top of the world shot lives up to expectations, so much fun

A gorgeous course! Truly a privilege to play such a historic place. This course is challenging and has a lot of elevation. If you shank a tee shot on certain holes, your disc may be down a ravine never to be seen again. Try and keep it in play. Honestly not a beginner friendly course, you should have a good amount of disc control if you want to play here and not be looking for your disc constantly.

The one of the most technical courses I have played. Challenging terrain with great views, and a disc shop at the parking lot. Thanks to the kindness of local player Greg, who not only showed me around the course , but also used his slingshot and magic marble to knock my disc off the top branches of a very tall tree. This course and friendly golfing community will get me looking to make the trip from Rochester N. Y. More often.

4 hour round on a moderately busy day with nearly half that time spent searching for discs. Luckily I was able to find all of them. Really fun course with good variety of technical shots. A few elite level par 3’s that I bet even pros struggle with. Lot of blind shots and very thick OB brush. Highly advise having a spotter for these holes. Was planning on playing a second round during my visit for the weekend but honestly I’m pretty exhausted after the first round. Will definitely play again next time I visit tho
