Pros:
This course is built on a beautiful section of land that is covered with mature, well spaced pines. The area below the pines has been cleared and shredded.
Hole lengths vary greatly from a short 223' out to the 814' fifth hole. With 7 holes over 400' and 4 holes under 300' the variety of lengths allows you to drive with everything from a putter to your longest distance driver.
The course is surprisingly flat, but there are a couple of good downhill holes (Holes 4 and 18) and s single significantly uphill hole (Hole 7).
Most of the challenge on this course is shaping your drives through the mature pines. There are very few straight holes, and those have the tightest fairways. Otherwise there are a nice variety of right and left-finishing holes, as well as a few that favor an S-shaped drive.
The tee signs look brand new, and include hole distance, par, direction to next tee, the local business sponsoring the hole (always great to see) and a useful diagram of the hole. Most holes have a sign pointing to the next tee, and usually an obvious trail leading you there. Navigation is excellent on this course.
Tee pads are natural and are outlined with timbers along the front and on both sides. They are absolutely huge, like 8' wide and 20' long. The extra width is nice because it allows you to avoid the occasional rocks and lumpy spots in the tee pad.
The 10 meter circle is marked around every basket with a ring of flexible "white-top" construction markers that stick up out of the ground a few inches. This is the first course that I've ever seen this on and it was a welcome addition. Baskets are in like-new condition and many had flags on top to help with spotting them from the tee.
There is an ample parking lot near the first tee with a porta-john and trash can. The 18th hole finishes back at the parking lot.
Cons:
With no underbrush or shrubs there is not a lot of punishment for missing the line on your drive. You might hit a tree and lose some distance, but you will probably still have a clean line to the basket.
The natural tee pads are very good, but some have rocks sticking up out of them here and there, and they can get a bit sticky if wet. That being said they are so large that you can usually find a decent place to tee from.
There are a couple of holes where you can see more than one basket, and a couple of others with blind baskets. So plan to do a little scouting ahead on your first round.
Other Thoughts:
It is hard to review this course without comparing it to the other Pagosa Springs course, Reservoir Hill. This course is longer, but not as hilly and not as heavily wooded. The two compliment each other very well. Reservoir Hill will beat you up a little more, while Cloman Park lets you air it out some.
I spent the summers of 2012 and 2013 in SW Colorado, and heard about the planning and construction of this course. This was my first opportunity to get back and play it, and I am really pleased at how good a course it turned out to be.
