Very good use of the elevation changes and trees. Many baskets protect by guardian trees. Seemed about even left and right dog legs. Excellent signage leading you to the next tee. Cows seem to keep the grass short when in the open. Very scenic!

Earthen Tee pads are showing wear and some are a bit rough with rocks pushing up.

Tee boxes were nice framed by logs or stones and leveled, but they are getting worn into shallow pits. I saw Astro Turf stacked in the parking lot that may be used for Tee pads soon. The last few holes are good for the big arms and mostly open. This is a challenging course! They were out of maps, but I assumed over the barbed wire fences were OB, but there was always a gate nearby if you need to get to the wrong side. Hole 3 looked like it would be hard to find you Disc in the brush but it was actually fairly open. Owners are very friendly! Seemed greener then the few Colorado courses I have seen.

Cross Creek is a truly unique mountain course. Even though it is extremely secluded in a beautiful high alpine setting, it shares many elements you might expect to find in a traditional city park course.

Extensive manicuring and reshaping of the land has created a one-of-a-kind aesthetic that sets it apart from other Rocky Mountain courses.

The diverse layout will challenge any player and features everything from tight, tree-lined fairways, wide open bombers, huge elevation changes and water carries. It is always a battle to score well, regardless of skill level, with the course's obstacles rewarding great shots and punishing less than ideal ones.

Cross Creek is in its fourth year now and, because its reputation has continued to grow, the owners are committing more and more resources to improving and expanding it.

There is now a massive, 20+ person volunteer team in place that are responsible for continued maintenance of the course including regular mowing, removal of deadfall and debris, upkeep of tees and paths and helping with the addition of more amenities.

These amenities include multiple pin positions, vastly improved tee pads (including the use of Discmania/DiscGolfPark turf tee pads) and the addition of more holes on the property with the goal of at least 27 total in the not so distant future.

They are also in the process of adding comprehensive tee signs to each hole as well as a course map at the kiosk for easier navigation.

The owners are also some of the kindest people on the planet and, for having zero knowledge of disc golf prior to agreeing to a course on their ranch, have now adopted it as a major part of their lives.

It really is inspiring to see this place grow from a pipe dream to truly being one of the finest destination courses in Colorado. If you have the opportunity to visit, make sure you can spend at least a full day here and play multiple rounds.

The dirt tee pads are sometimes rocky and uneven. Large scale improvements are in the pipeline

Signage is very basic at the moment but is also going to be improved upon soon

Some of the holes are a little close together which doesn't affect play much during casual rounds but can occasionally during tournament play

There is no cell service at Cross Creek. Not necessarily a con but something to be aware of if you visit

It is very secluded, at least 20 to 25 minutes from the nearest services. Again, not a con per-se but take note if you need to bring food, water or anything else you might require while on course

Full disclosure: I am a co-designer of the course, maintenance team lead and marketer for Cross Creek DGC.

I truly believe that this course is exceptional in its current state and on track to be one of the finest private courses anywhere in the country.

Please contact me if you have any questions prior to visiting or any feedback after you leave and enjoy your time at Cross Creek Disc Golf Course!

The course is immaculate. Even the portapotty is sparkling clean. A few wide open bombers, several technical shots. Gorgeous scenery. The owner cares so much that he contacted me after my round to ask for any feedback I might have on his course. Elevation plays at least somewhat on every hole and plays a LOT on some holes.

1) Course signage could be better. Perhaps a course map at the parking area so that you could take a picture before your round. (The owner says the local wildlife seems to find the guide arrows interesting and rips them down repeatedly.)
2) There is NO potable water on site, so make SURE you bring enough for the weather.

The cons I mentioned are quibbles for an amazing disc golf experience. This is the first time I've ever played a pay-to-play course and for the cost of a disc, I had a round that i'll remember for a LONG time.
Some thoughts for anyone who hasn't played the course before:
1) The owner tells me that the highest point on the course is about 8700 feet above sea level. If you're a flatlander like myself, don't expect this to be a short round because you will be slow moving around the course.
2) There is no potable water on the course, so bring as much as you think you will need. Then bring more because the air is DRY up there. I was sweating during the entire round (80+ degrees for my round in jeans and a tee-shirt) but I never felt sweaty because the air was drying me as fast as I sweat.
3) Download the course map BEFORE you go because there isn't any cell coverage in that valley. I didn't get coverage back until I was just about on I-70. (About 15 miles from the course.)
4) I'm not sure what kind of wildlife might be around that valley, but do bear in mind that if you have some kind of emergency, you have to get at least to the nearest ranch (Cross Creek, I think) to find any help. I thought of that as i got a few holes into my solo round with the course entirely to myself.

Final thought: i'll remember this round a LONG time. Money and time well spent for an amazing experience.

This challenging mountain course winds through open field and beautiful, dense mixed forest to provide a nice range of shots: long drives, short technical, forehand and backhand opportunities.

Just opened! Brush still needs to be cleared in areas, a few trees and branches to be removed/trimmed, and tee boxes can be soft and slippery.

In time we'll see cement tee pads, benches and continued maintenance. This course will, in time, be one of the premier courses in Colorado.

Beautiful setting with a mix of shorter very tight lines through conifer/aspen mixed forest, longer throws in open sage with beautiful views, and plenty of elevation changes to make it even more fun and interesting. I love that you need to throw just about every shot possible from short turnovers, dead-straight shots, hyzers, to long bombs! The Scott family, who own the property are also awesome hosts!

A couple of the tee boxes with the rubber mats can be slick when muddy/wet, but being a brand new course, the tee boxes will get fine-tuned over time.

Awesome layout with challenging forehand and backhand holes.
Beautiful setting in the mountains.
Each hole is unique with it's own obstacles.

Some of the tee-boxes were slick/muddy due to rain.

Lots of hiking, but such is a mountain course!!

Short technical course.
Plays thru woods with lots of elevation change.
Even in the mud, footing is pretty solid for the entire course.

Tee boxes are still being finalized, can be very muddy.
Signage is still being finalized, got turned around only once.

Great NEW, Private, Colorado mountain course!
