Wondervu is now a 22 hole course. I'm not sure when that changed but I updated the info on here which still had it listed as an 18 hole course. As of this review there are no longer tee times required either. You can just show up and pay $10 per player for the day. This was great news since we had a tee time for a different course booked in the morning already. Glad I was able to fit this one in too.

The tee pads are all elevated and level turf pads on wooden frames. These are amply sized and worked great on a warm, dry autumn day. Not sure how they handle when wet, but they were great when dry. One tee pad per hole. Nicely done.

The baskets are all in great shape as well. The first 18 holes all have DGA Mach III's. These were all mounted level, or at least very close to it. One pin position per hole from what I could tell. The last four baskets are randoms. One was a DiscGolfPark one, another was an MVP I think it was. Either way, all four of those were in great shape too. Zero issues with the baskets here. Another bonus is the fact that most of the baskets that aren't visible from the tee had large flag posts attached to the top to help with location. In addition to that many of them had large orange trianguler signs below the basket. The same type of ones you'd see on the back of a tractor. Definitely helpful on the silver Mach's.

The course flow is pretty easy to figure out. You'll probably still want a map, but it's more than doable without one. After playing the first 10 holes you'll come back to the parking lot which is always nice, especially on a hilly hike of a course like this one. Nice to be able to refill on fluids and use the restroom if need be.

The course design is also really well thought out. I appreciated the fact that they designed a lot of side slope holes as opposed to up/down, up/down. This makes for a much more enjoyable round that way. But there are still enough up and down holes to keep things interesting, they're just scattered throughout. The course plays in thinned out pine forest for all 22 holes. There's no wide open holes here, just technical, wooded mountain golf.

There's a bunch of pretty cool/sinister pin placements out here. Really amps up the risk/reward aspect. If you miss a putt on some of these you're looking at a potential three putt. Hell, with all the rocks on the ground it's even tricky just to lay up effectively. Lots of startegy required out here and it's not just off the tee.

No legit tee signs, yet at least. I'd assume that these are the next thing on the to do list. I'd hope so at least. This was my number one con here. The reflective triangles definitely help with spotting the baskets but they also look kinda goofy. Having tee signs would eliminate the need for these.

The latter holes, starting around hole 13, had an absurd amount of loose branches all over the fairways. I'm assuming this section was recently cleared out which is awesome. Makes for some treacherous footing though. It was like being on rollerskates in a few places.

I wasn't a huge fan of the hole 11 and 12 combo. They're both good holes, it's just that they both play downhill and are side by side. We had nobody in front of us for the first ten holes. When we got to 11 all of a sudden it was a 4 group backup due to the waiting on 12's tee for the group in front to finish the hole. It would make more sense to just ditch 11 and keep 12, which is the better of the two. Not sure what the difference is between 22 or 21 holes.

Hole 22 just seems like a filler hole. It has the cool rock mound in the middle, but it also plays away from the parking lot which is just odd and kinda sadistic after playing 21 mountain holes.

This was a really fun course. I'd play it again for sure. But it's not in my top three of the limited mountain courses I've played. I think once this one gets broken in a bit more it'll play better than it does currently. Definitely worth a stop as is though. Very fun course, just rough around the edges.

Great views and vibes. Staff were friendly. Baskets are important to me and they were just fine. Great pads too. This would be a sick glow course.

A bit repetitive. Some greens are very guarded and pretty much just a poke and hope to get reasonable looks off the pad.

4/5 max is about right. From a golf perspective, the course is good but not great. 100% a good time but don't expect amazing hole design.

I made a tee time but that really didn't seem necessary. I got the feeling most people just show up.

If your vehicle lacks clearance, park on the main road next to the entrance and don't drive up.

Huge level tee pads for an extreme high altitude dusc golf experience. Great vibe, pro-shop, and hang out shelter at 'base' lodge. Good mix of up and down terrain, with mixed terrain.

Great course for those thar are left handed or have a great forehand shot. If not, massive heizers might be required to post a good score.

Keep up the great work! Still a little bit of ground clearing work needs to be done, but the lines are awesome!

Very challenging--lots of narrow fairways, trees and rocks
Disc Shop is usually well stocked
Knowledgable, friendly staff
Nice tee pads
Dog friendly

Brutally punishing for straying off some fairways
Lots of rocks and stumps can spoil a good fairway skip
Numerous trees in fairways of some holes
The uphill hike from #11 basket to #12 tee pad--killer

This course isn't for beginners or the out-of-shape
Be prepared to hike
Improvements--clearing and expansion--are ongoing daily

Lots to love about this course! Very technical, which is a rarity for Colorado disc golf. Lots of love has gone into this course, which is apparent from the time you set foot on the property. Located high in the foothills on personal property. It has a kitchy feel: there's nicknacks spread throughout the property, some for decoration, some for seating, some just randomly strewn about for no reason at all. Some wood piles were made to be tunnel entrances to certain holes. Lots of signage and basket flags, making navigation a breeze (mostly). Each hole has it's own feel, and none had the feel of a filler hole. Finally, a small pro shop with goodies for everyone, staffed by some very laid back golfers. I felt very welcome! $5 to play is extremely fair.

As currently constituted, this is a very difficult course, even if you're a seasoned vet. Beginners be warned. Some holes just have no line to the basket, save for an absolutely perfect (lucky) shot. I had one or two tee shots the entire day that went mostly, but not exactly, as planned. Natural tee pads were rough. Concrete pads would be overkill imo - I'd go with astroturf covered wood boxes personally. As a RHFH player playing alongside a LHBH player, we both were using a LOT of turnover shots all day, leading me to conclude this course is biased towards RHBH players. I didn't need a disc faster than a fairway driver. Currently, this is a cash only course, which was a mild bummer but something all players should be aware of coming in.

I really was torn between rating this a 3.5 or a 4. I went with the 4 based on the awesome, generous staff, and the potential that this course will ultimately reach. It's easily worth the $5 to play. Looking forward to this course reaching full maturity!

--It's a Colorado Mountain Course, it's absolutely beautiful up in the woods.
--It's a challenging course, and sometimes it takes a few minutes to find a line which means every hole will be a different experience.
--The layout is fantastic. Even though most of the holes are only 2-300 feet, they play much more challenging than that, because of unusual lies or the fact that you straight up cannot see the pin from the tee.
--It plays in a great loop, that puts you right back to your car after 18.
--Super cool people running the place, that will play with you as a guide sometimes.

--Natural Teepads on every hole
--Paths are sometimes hard to find
--Signage is there, but not totally obvious on every hole.
--Some of the course is still full of cut down which can make a shank difficult to get to
--Sometimes there is no good way to get to the basket, even if you are smack in the middle of the fairway.

Honestly, here's the deal with WonderVu. All of the cons listed above are a work in progress. They are working on getting everything adjusted, built up better and turn it really into a destination of Colorado Disc Golf. This course is going to be amazing. It's already amazing, but some people really hate that natural feel and really demand concrete tee pads, but this course is absolutely worth a play, or 2 or 40. It's $3 to play, which honestly is too low. All of the profit goes directly back into the course. Hop on the Facebook page, call for a tee-time and wander up to WonderVu. Like my title says, this course is on it's way to greatness, and if you want it there faster, go play it and throw them some cash. In no time at all this place will be incredible.

+ Baskets in decent shape, even the Discatcher Sports on 10 & 11

+ Signage is great for a new, wooded course. Tees have hole number & distance, plus there are plenty of arrows to point you in the right direction between holes

+ Plays a loop currently, no real threat of crossing fairways

+ Rough isn't too bad for a course carved out of virgin woods

+ Benches/couches at most if not all tees, trash and recycling also present

+ Great use of elevation, foliage and trees; decent mix of distances and a variety in shots needed - excellent challenge, you definitely need some accuracy and precision here

**A lot of these are temporary - the course is still in its infancy and work days on the course continue**

- Still a lot of stumps/wood on the ground, and a fair few slash piles (these will eventually be gone, but sometimes they're handy in stopping a disc from rolling downhill)

- lack of really open holes, or open, long bombers (it's by nature a woody course though)

- If somehow you're not playing with a guide I can see how navigation might get a little tricky, and there's no map available for the time being

- natural tees - not really an issue, I'm reaching on this one

Wondervu is a relatively young course still going through growing pains - currently there are 11 holes w/ plans to add more. I enjoyed it immensely, it's got the great challenge of a wooded course which is something the immediate area is sorely lacking. While woody, it's not the kind of course that you run the risk of hitting a tree 5 feet from the tee, as long as you hit your line your real threats are the trees that have been kept for a reason - there's obviously been a lot of thought put into it. If you've gotten used to short, flat courses like Johnny Roberts or the back 11 of Valmont, or mostly open courses like Fehringer, it's refreshing to have to negotiate these fairways, I admit I was really rusty my first time out.

It is a private course though, on private property, so make sure to send a message to them on facebook to arrange a day/time to play. People going unannounced will be greeted by a closed gate at the road so don't waste your time.

All in all I really enjoyed myself (despite my personally abysmal playing) and can't wait to go back. There's a donation box at tee 1 which gets directly reinvested into the course. It's still a work-in-progress but judging from what's here already, I can't wait to see what's added.
