Reviewed: Played on:Jun 7, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

I travel to CU regularly and was excited to hear about an 18 hole course installed, as I designed the original 9 holer in CU, back in the mid 1980's at Florida and Lincoln, which was moved to Lohman several years later, unfortunately, as we had a good following at the old course. Dodd Park has nice features, is well kept, and the teeboxes are nice.

Cons:

Frankly the design is so poorly done that I have no interest to play here again. None of the holes on the course were remotely interesting, the lines made no sense on most drives, and walking paths are in play, as well as other fairways. This could have been a pretty nice venue if an experienced player were in charge of the project, as is so often the case. A lot of time and money went into this course, but not much thought.
