Other Thoughts: This Course is a Joke, several holes are over swamp reeds and what i guess is flood run off ponds. I spent more time trying to get my disc then i did enjoying the course. Not to mention the course is all over the place.
To me it feels like someone put the course in and had grand ideas, but then left and now no one cares about it.

Pros: This is one of the few eighteen hole courses in the front range area north of Denver. Besides the better Edora Park in Fort Collins, you'd have to travel to mountains or Denver to get a more than 12 holes in one spot. The area is open and rugged although few holes measure over 300 feet. This is one of those - man, that's right of the highway great location for some disc golf type of places.

The main area of the park is well marked, and there are ample signs on the road pointing you in the general direction. Having said that however, follow the signs exactly and you'll be closer to #5 rather than #1. If you want to park near the beginning, park near the pool and red grain silo closest to the highway.

Besides the location, the park has quality concrete pads, granted few are actually pointed in the right direction. Each hole is also marked with a large beam and number marker, which is very easy to spot from the distance. Note that #5, #6, and #13 each have additional placards to assist you in finding the next tee box location.

BEST HOLE/S: #18

Cons: River Ranch is a great example of why you always wait until the bitter end before putting in the concrete. With the addition of the pool area, which shrunk #1 and #2 to a laughable length, and what looks like a general redesign - most tees are angled off in different directions making things annoying.

I also wonder why they put in some of the most robust and impressive hole markers I've seen and not indicate the distance as well as number - but at least they waited on something. As mentioned earlier, #1 and #2 are about 80' each making for a nice mid-range ace attempt.

Given all of this, the biggest negative may be the general navigation. Land limitations are always a course's worst enemy, but by the time you finish, you've probably walked enough for 36 holes. Note that the walk between #6 and #7 and then from #13 and #14 are the worst, but if you park by the pool, you'll have a walk from #18, and by the disc golf sign a good walk to #1. Good news is that #13 shows a great layout of #8 through #14, so make the pit stop and check it out after finishing #9.

WORST HOLE/S: #1; #2

Other Thoughts: River Ranch is fun for a casual round to shoot low scores. An intermediate player will have no problems shooting par and lower on every hole, based on the short length and limited amount of obstacles. However, if you have the time, and don't mind the crowds, Edora Park is the better way to go. If you hate crowds, and like the open prairie, then stop off the highway and give this place a go.

Pros: Your playing disc golf and not at work...

Cons: Extremely short holes that are WAY TOO short for any skill level, other than toddler. Hole one is pointless, being about 70 feet long it seemed. Then hole two and three are around 120 feet. After putting holes 1-5 it's not the easiest to find 6 with 7 being completely out of sight and with no sign, oh yeah it about three blocks down the road around a bend. From there it is just short holes with a ton of walking in between.

Other Thoughts: Would recommend skipping holes 1-3 and just start at 4 if your going to venture this course, the free birdies/ace attempts are not even worth playing 1-3. Parts are very grassy and over grown making a stroller harder but not impossible, kids might get the most enjoyment from this course.

Pros: Really nice tee pads that were consistent throughout the course. Nice tee markers showing you where tee pads were. Nice baskets in good condition. Good signs telling you where next tee pad is if it is not obvious. Good use of terrain. Good use of water for begginers. Great course to take the whole family to. Not crowded but I did see other players there.

Cons: Holes one and two are MIA as the build a new swimming pool in the park. There are four places where the walk to the next tee is not obvious and a long ways away. Mostly short holes in a very open field where terrain is really the only challenge. A slightly confusing layout with one place where three baskets are right near eachother. Some tee pads seemed to be pointed in random directions not necessarily pointed towards a basket. Only about three holes where a long drive is needed. You will have to walk a couple of holes to make sure you know where you are throwing to, specifically hole 7 and 9 as 7 is hidden and 9 is right near two other baskets.

Other Thoughts: I was really bummed to see that holes 1 and 2 were not there because of pool construction but there is a place after hole 13 where a couple more short holes could be added going back along the road on the way to hole 14 by the lake on the other side of the street. This is one of the courses that would be great to take someone just learning the game too as there is nothing too intimidating while still having the dangers of water at times. You will want to watch out on some of the dry drainage ponds as the ground can be very muddy. When you are driving there you will want to take River Ranch Rd off of the I-25 Frontage Rd and I personally think the best place to park is near the model homes on the North side of River Ranch Rd. I really do hope they redesign the course to be 18 holes after they finish building the pool.

Pros: This is a decent course for beginners and families to play. The holes are mostly very short and open requiring only a putter and a short driver. Elevation changes can also make the course more interesting. The course does not see many players on a daily basis so you can go out and practice mid-range and safari shots on an empty course. I should also mention that the tee pads and numbered posts are very nice. Young planted trees may create a challenge when fully grown.

Cons: Some holes are just plain and boring, being too short and open. Only the few medium range holes on the course provide a challenge. Prepare to do some walking between holes because the course plays on a long strip of open space. It can still be hard to find the target for newcomers even though the baskets have numbers(Too many baskets close together). Many of the baskets sit much lower than regulation height.

Other Thoughts: Call the paths as out of bounds where they play, to make the round more challenging, or just play safari.

Pros: This is a fun weekend course because it gets barely any traffic. It is a great course to get out and practice your mid-range shots. You can play this hole course with a putter and a short fairway driver or long mid-range. A couple shots play over or near water and Hole 18 is a straight fairway shot with water to the right and Out of Bounds over a path to the left that plays downhill. A very quick 18 so can play multiple rounds quickly

Cons: Holes 1-3 are extremly short and bunched together. Some holes could be longer shots.

Other Thoughts: This is a young course that down the road will be excellent when the trees grow up. It's a nice course with good scenery and wide open shots. A bit of diversity after the first 4 holes. If you are considering going to this course make sure to start by large red siloh and follow directions on posts at Hole 5, 6 and 13 to figure out where to go for the next hole. When the wind picks up this course goes from easy to somewhat hard because it is so wide open. I play this course regularly and the wind is a pretty consitent factor. A birdie hole can easily become a bogey hole. All paths that you do no shoot over should be out of bounds. There are limited water holes but Hole 16 can be very tough. You have to shoot over water but not go to far because there is a path 30 feet behind the basket so if you don't want to play up short you better have a good shot or you'll be wet or OB long!! GREAT Safari course.

Pros: It might be the closest course to I-25. If you were afraid of getting lost trying to find a course, this is your course. Just look for the red silo east of the interstate just past the hwy 34 exit, and that is your first tee. This course has cement tee pads and numbered posts on all the holes. The baskets are in great shape. There is a park at the beginning of the course with a restroom and picnic shelter. If you want to make ace runs, this is your course. I thought of it as practice with teepads, especially since you will most likely have the whole thing to yourself. My recommendation is for ace runs, beginners, and for rounds when you want to be alone. I've thought about stopping here every time I pass by because I know it would be a sweet quickie.

Cons: There are lots of stickers in the weeds it may not be a good place to take your dog or play in sandals. This course lacks shade, if you find yourself here in August as I did, it would be wise to take water. One of the water hazards is a kiss-it-goodbye raging irrigation switch you may need to be aware of. For the most part this course lacks any type of obstacle to speak of. There is a bike path and a few drainage ditches and a few saplings. Sometimes there is confusion as to what basket you are aiming for and some of the baskets feel about four inches too deep. 6, 14, and 18 are hard to find if you don't take the directions with you from the course information page. I keep holding out hope that someone from one of the northern Colorado clubs will make a map.

Other Thoughts: I had always seen the silo from the interstate and every time I pass it I cannot resist telling whomever will listen there is a course right there. I assume that this course is one of the selling points for buying a home in this subdivision which is pretty cool. If my time comes and I move to a new home development in the suburbs I hope that it has a disc golf course in and around it like this one has. The course has the tee-pads, posts and baskets of a good course, just not the land. I would say the character of this course is short flat and a full of baby trees.

Pros: This course is very well kept up with nice tee boxes and baskets. There are numbers on all of the tees and the baskets are numbered as well. On some of the holes where it is hard to see the next tee box, there is a map to point you in the right direction. There is a walking path for some of the holes and some holes play around a pond which makes it a little more challenging. Would drive the 30 miles to play again.

Cons: The baskets are set low to the ground, don't think that it is regulation, but not really a big deal. A lot of the holes are pretty short and straight, difficulty rating is a 4 out of 10. On holes #9, #12, #13, the baskets are within 50 feet of each other which makes it hard to know which one to shoot at.

Other Thoughts: This course is located is a nice housing subdivision and all of the houses are not done being built yet. Running water is restrooms but #1 tee, and nice trash cans placed but #1 and #13. I played this course twice back to back and I was the only one out there, not busy at all!

Pros: Baskets...No one around...Quiet

Cons: What a waste of money to put 18 baskets in such a boring random place. Picture a small meadow with 3 baskets within 30 ft. of each other with no idea of what basket you are supposed to play to.....

Other Thoughts: Only worth a stop if you a looking to be frustrated at why some places are chosen for courses, and the innane planning that goes into some courses....I wouldn't even consider this a course.

Pros: This is a new course in a new subdivision, houses not yet in play. Only will be for poor shots anyway. Wide open layout as trees are not matured yet. Good course to work on fundamentals. Short holes make for lots of birdie/ace attempts. This course only shares a walking path within it, making throws less obstructed. Once all trees and bushes have grown in, the challenge factor should increase dramatically. Good one to keep coming back to now and then. The water hazards are way manageable with an irrigation ditch running alongside 1-10 and 18; as well as a pond in play on holes 14-16. Concrete tees make driving a cinch, multiple pins keep it fresh. Huge cattail patch in play on 5 and 18.

Cons: Short!!! the challenge factor is low to begin, but should increase with time. There are lots of weeds/stickers; definitely not for children/dogs/people wearing sandals.

Other Thoughts: This course is new and never seems to be busy, making the flow of play easy. Not too many hazards, but the ones that exist can chew up the clock should you find yourself in them. When the course has been mowed, the stickers issue is reduced to almost none. If it hasn't been mowed, be prepared... Good course overall with fun play and great future potential, enjoy! Holes 1 & 2 are back in but reconfigurations have left them shorter than before. Ask 3Rivers Disc Golf Club members about alternate layouts. 970-310-3555.
