Pros: uh - baskets, good parking, practice basket
Cons: long grass, boring fairways, lack of diversity
Other Thoughts: there is a possibility that the course could be moved to a better location on the park with elevation change, trees, or both! Check back summer of 2013. If you feel like contacting the park to express your support for the new course, DO IT! (970) 824-5517

Pros: Easy to follow and it has baskets.
Cons: tee pads are terrible, flat with very few obstacles. The signs you see in the pictures are very faded now and are mostly unreadable.
Other Thoughts: Don't bother unless you are in craig.

Pros: The parking lot is near the first tee and last basket. Its in its own dedicated part of the park. Loudy Simpson Park has good crushed gravel teepads. The fairways are mowed, and mowed to match the fairway area drawn out on the signs. The tee signs have a good accurate illustrations of the fairways with distances and are sponsored by a local business. It is the only course in Northwest Colorado. There are prominent signs that lead you to Loudy Simpson Park all over town so the park is very easy to find. The small section of the course that finds the trees is fun. It is in a natural setting. I would say this course is good for beginners mostly.
Cons: It's a very boring course, just out in a hayfield with few trees no water or elevation changes. The course it nothing more than a nine hole pitch and putt in the prairie with only a few holes in and around a grove of trees. There are plenty of interesting trees and water hazzards they could have used, maybe they decided to keep it close to the parking lot. But the odd thing they did do was tyr to make the course difficult by mowing awkward shapes into the fairways that you can easily drive anyways. Its actually pretty funny, imagine a fairway that bows out and back to the hole for a total of 320 feet yet the basket is only 230 from the tee pad. It was only worth it to try and ace which we did not. One way to make a vast improvement on this course in my opinion would be to put it by the nearby river.

After having said all that, I still plan to play here again next time I'm passing through.
Other Thoughts: It has been a while since I played in Craig and I just wanted to give this course a review since nobody has yet. I played this course after having played in Steamboat Springs, and I would have to say that there is no comparison to the two courses, if it comes down to an either-or decision between the two, just go straight to Steamboat Springs. I was only in town for about an hour, just long enough to bag this course and leave. I hit a skunk and killed it on the way in and I could smell my faux pas throughout the round even though the park was relatively far away. I would like to take this moment to apologize to the people of Craig who I made gag and that skunk's family... I'm sorry.
