I Guess I Missed The Worst It Has To Offer!

Pros: I must have missed the worst this course has to offend. The wind wasn't bad, the grass was a reasonable height. It was pretty hot and dry. The natural teepads aren't the best, they're pretty lumpy in places. The course has simple little tee signs showing the hole number only, no distance or par. A problem is that the signs are often located at the front left corner of the pad or right in a way of a RHBH throwers follow through. Be careful and keep that little tidbit in mind here.
# 5 is a cool downhill throw over the creek. # 8 is a monster, 940' where you throw out towards the trains.The fairways were mowed in places (No 4-5' high grass today). The course has a nice variety of shorter ACE runs complimented by the two big downhill bombs. The creek comes into play on a couple of holes.

Cons: It wouldn't be that tough to build a simple bridge over the creek in a couple of places, would it? The course is hot and dry and dusty. Bring water! No wind today, I must have been lucky.
Other Thoughts: This is a decent little 9 hole course. The two long downhill throws give it a little character and spice things up a bit. I'd love to see some work done on the tee boxes. How about some patio blocks installed? They'd be a wonderful addition. A primitive bridge or two over the creek would also be nice additions. All in all, a pretty average type course.

Don't go into the long grass! 
Pros: For a nine hole, the course actually had some considerable length. One hole in fact was over 500'. The course is very easy to follow and hard to get lost.
Cons: This course being in an open field gets very windy, and makes throwing far hard. The course has wildlife so beware of droppings. The course also has a creek, which you have to cross with no bridge. It is very muddy, but I assume this is only a seasonal problem. Nevertheless, prepare to walk a long ways out of your way back to a bridge, or get your socks wet. As the title suggests, the course has very very tall grass. Try to throw pink and red discs so they are easy to find. Green and especially yellow blend in. The biggest problem with the grass is that it lines every very skinny fairway. The fairways are at most 20' wide making them hard to hit, and if you miss, well, good luck. Long pants and boots suggested.
Other Thoughts: Overall, it was a decent course, next time I go through WY I'm going to go to the other courses maybe they are better. This one isn't anything special. Title is a reference to jurassic park.

Good Time!
Pros: This course was easy to find and when I arrived I had it all to myself. The first tee was easy to locate and was marked by a wood post and numbered. From a glance it looked like it was all tall grass (4-5 Ft tall) but I was suprised to see that it had mowed green fairways. The layout was easy to follow as I didn't have to waste a lot of time looking for the next hole. Most of the holes were pretty short but had a fair amount of elevation change that kept it interesting. I noticed that many of the holes had changed location to make for more challenging shots (old post holes were capped off). My favorite hole was #8. It was almost 1000 Ft. and had a dog-leg that bordered a wash.
Cons: The tees were dirt and were not maintained very well (iffy footing). Some of the numbers on the baskets were hard to read and were not allways visable line-of-site. It was sometimes hard to find a place to cross streams to get to the next hole.
Other Thoughts: In previous reviews people complained about some of the holes not being accessible due to construction. Update: construction in now complete and all holes were playable. This is great course for begginers or someone that just wants to get in a quick 9 holes :)

A Serious Case of when Good Courses go Bad

Pros: The biggest pro of this course its use of elevation in about half of the holes. The general layout is good considering the piece of land it's on, and they designers made interesting use of the few trees as obstacles by the pins. Other highlights may happen in years to come as the park develops.
BEST HOLE/S: #5
BEST HOLE/S: #5
Cons: Where to begin? This was one of the poorest disc golfing experiences I have ever had. There are a few things one must consider about these cons: construction and the fact that I played the course recently after Cheyenne had a one of the wettest last four weeks on record.
First, the grass was horrendously tall. I felt like Malikai from Children of the Corn could have stepped out from multiple areas and strike me dead - which might have been okay. Again, Cheyenne just had ample rain, but some areas of grass were seriously chest high. I was lucky but thought I lost a disc multiple times.
Interesting side note - there was a group of Angora goats going to town on the far end of the park, so at least they are in heaven. (Cheaper than mowers and probably more effective on the hills I guess.)
Second, the current construction project has destroyed all parking off of Parsley as well as holes one and nine. I parked on the opposite side of the course one the far right side of hole eight. The poor pins to holes one and nine were lying by a tree rusting away.
Third, the mosquitoes are worth a mention. Again note the rain, but I have never, never been attacked by so many mosquitoes in Cheyenne in my life. It felt like I was back home in Houston it was so bad. I'm sure this problem could be remedied however is the corn fields of grass were chopped down.
Fourth, and maybe most important is the general layout, hole length, and shot variation. All shots are straight with trees and don't force much imagination. Also, the lengths on the site are dreadfully inaccurate. I know I didn't drive my Boss 350' up a slope in windy conditions on hole seven, but it sure made the ego feel good. Hole eight is also much shorter than indicated.
Finally I wonder why only one area of the "park" (the park term is loosely used since it's more of a field) was in use. The far more interesting area of the Ramero was covered in goats, so maybe the thought is nine more holes at a future date. One can hope.
WORST HOLE/S: #3

WORST HOLE/S: #3
Other Thoughts: Let me say how excited I was to get a crack at Ramero being the only course in my hometown I hadn't played yet. I think the worst part of the course was simply the let down at how much it underperformed in almost every aspect. If it weren't for the great elevation and the potential this place has I would have nothing good to say about.
I hope the city follows through on its promises about what the park will become - but for now, please mow the grass (or eat it), spray, finish the construction, replant the pins, fix the yardage problems, use the rest of the land better, and improve the tee boxes (which everything else was so bad they didn't get it big mention) and I will play it again. Maybe.

Pros: ***Update*** The construction is finally here and the course is suffering at the moment. (I'll change my grade as the results of construction dictate).
This is my favorite of the southeast Wyoming nine hole courses. Cheyenne is not a very hilly place so it is cool to have hills come into play. The wind is tricky here and there are plenty of different shot variations based on that. There are very few trees but this course finds them. Until the park is put in this a Wyoming prairie course. Fight the wind and let it rip, especially on the 940 foot #8. The tee area of #5 provides you a great view of the rail road, and the capital.

Cons: The area that is being redeveloped is a sketchy place not far from the railroad. You may see plenty of shady characters wandering around through the field. There is heaps of old junk piled up waiting for the park to be created and be a thing of the past. I've noticed that golfers are starting to just leave their trash on the ground for now too. The tee markers are tall and I smacked my hand hard against one. (But hey, at least its marked). The alternate pin placements are only feet from each other on most holes. The course will be easy on the rare day without wind due to few trees and short distances.
Other Thoughts: For the next few years (hopefully not longer than that) a review of Romero will be unreliable until construction of the park is finished. I hope they do build the proposed pond, and it comes into play. The city does not want any drinking in the park by disc golfers.

A Beginner's Course 1 3/28/2008 3/28/2008
Review By: DGadvocate Played: 5 Reviewed: 5 Exp: 37.7 Years
This review was updated on 3/8/2009
Pros: It's there, and it's free. A good little course for beginners. Hole 8 is 940' long down hill. Slight change in elevation on 4 uphill,5 downhill, 6 and 7 uphill.
Cons: Wide open, little challenge and short holes, except hole 8. No restrooms (yet). As of March 2009 Baskets 1 and 9 are not in the ground due to construction.
Other Thoughts: It's the first activity in a space the city wants to make a nice park someday, but for now it's just wide open with about 7 trees. Installed to get people on the South Side of Cheyenne into Disc Golf so for that reason it's great, and might lead to more people picking up the game, which is a good thing for DG. This has proved a much more popular course than I would have imagined when it went in.
