Very nice, will be loss to area 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 4, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice variety of holes and good use of space and terrain. Wide open on most throws with varying hole lengths keeps it fun. Multiple pin locations keeps this course fresh.

Cons:

Holes are a little close together which if busy could cause some disc dodging. Tee signs were limited especially since there are multiple pin locations.

Other Thoughts:

Sad to read it will be gone April 15th!

Hide and Seek - DG Version 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 13, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

--18 holes tucked in the southern part of the city
--Long and short shots with good use of elevation to provide tricky shots.
--Benches and Trash Cans scattered every 5-ish holes
--Some long shots that definitely test your ability to turn it over and glide.

Cons:

Aside from this one complaint, honestly the course is pretty solid. But this one thing did it for me. It's been said before. The brush. It's everywhere. It's thick. It's tall. It's sharp. Playing a doubles round here is 90 minutes of disc golf, and 40 minutes of traipsing thru brush looking for discs. Aside from the first 4 holes, there really isn't a "fairway" on anything else. ...it's just a teepad, a field of nasty rough and then a basket. If not for the excellent spotting skills of who I played with, I definitely would have lost several discs, two of them straight between the tee and the basket.

Other Thoughts:

The holes themselves on a technical level are nice, but the brush kills it for me. I get looking for discs is a part of the game, but still, the brush out here is ridiculous.

As a side note, there is a planning meeting going on regarding this course in the city right now, they want to move the course and put an ice rink in this location, so hopefully the new location won't be as rough.

It's really not a bad course and the shots will definitely challenge you aside from the brush. But for me, this is one I won't willingly come back to, just because I hate spending 3-5 minutes per shot trying to find it.

Hope you like looking for your discs 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 29, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Many different types of holes/shots required.

Cons:

Plays directly next to a highway so it can be a bit noisy.

The worst part about this course is that when the weeds/shrubs are high you are going to looking for your disc a lot. On every single hole. Be prepared.

Good, but not for beginners 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 9, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Beautiful views

-Easy to navigate

-Baskets have interchangeable placements.

-Minor elevation changes

-Nice long teepads that have turf on them

-Liquor store 50yrds from teepad #1

-Trashcans

-Some long holes

-Benches.

Cons:

-Shrubs make it impossible to find disc at times. I would spend 15 min looking for a disc and most the time just gave up on it.

-Creek on the right can carry discs away. It's happened a couple times to me and buddies.

- Parking can fill up quick.

-No bathrooms

-no obstructions

Other Thoughts:

- Shoot right on Holes 3 - 7 or you will go down a ditch to a small creek.

- I played here as a beginner but would tell all beginners to stay away from this one and spend more time shooting then looking for their disc

- Spot your shot or you will take a while looking for it.

Above Averge DenverCourse 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 21, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

I like to think of this one as the rougher, longer, steeper, and more challenging big brother course to nearby Village Greens. The course utilizes elevation changes and unique landscape to keep things interesting. One of the few long(ish) courses in town that consistently forces you to use your long driver. Even with minimal signage course is fairly straightforward and easy to navigate. Conveniently located right off the freeway and complete with a dirt parking lot, picnic tables, and a course map kiosk.

Cons:

Like many have mentioned vegetation can be somewhat rough depending on the season and time of year. Early on in the season it really wasn't bad at all, but after a rainy spring I can already see it becoming a jungle. Most of the really bad vegetation can be avoided with well placed shots, but this is easier said than done. Wind is almost a constant factor with the open nature of the course. It's pretty much inevitable that you will end up buried in something and have to spend some time searching.

Definitely not a course for beginners. I could see this being a very frustrating place to learn how to play because of distance and terrain alone. Would recommend mastering some of the other courses around town before you try to tackle this one.

Tee pads are really narrow on certain holes and are generally inconsistent in size. Also, the pads are made out of an Astro turf material which is better than nothing, but not exactly an ideal surface.

In general the course is somewhat of an unattractive place to be. This is just kind of the nature of the course due to the constantly rough terrain, rough vegetation, proximity to drainage ditches, and trash scattered about. I realize this is most likely the reason the course exists in the first place, but there's no reason it has to look so dumpy in areas, especially considering its part of a regional park system. You would think they would try to take a little more pride in the place.

Other Thoughts:

This course seems to be the outcome of a park system having a chunk of land that could literally serve no other purpose and there's really nothing wrong with that. There is a lot of room for improvement, but I'm really happy the course exists at all. It seems like there are many other similar locations around town that could be utilized for disc golf just like this!

Be sure to where some sturdy shoes, and bring plenty of water and sunscreen during the day. The course may be a bit of a nightmare in certain aspects, but that is what gives it unique character. If your up for th challenge and/or something different you should have fun here.

Decent course but a lot of brush! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 19, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Very nice course for the first couple of holes as they are wide open and easy to see where the discs are. Mixture of some short and long holes to give you variety. They do change the arrangement of the baskets which also allows for some variety as well. Parking lot area is nice and central. There is also an RC Hobby shop right next to the parking lot that also sells discs inside incase you lose one and are in need of a replacement, while the selection ins't that great tho.

Cons:

There is a lot of brush and bushes with tall weeds/grass on this course, making it very easy to lose a disc or two in a single round. Make sure you watch where you throw your discs or where they land as it can get lost in the brush and I have spent more time that I could possibly desire scouring for my discs when I lose site of it. Also on the left side of Hole 4/5/6/7 there is a river that rounds out the left side of the course with a somewhat steep hill with brush and trees leading down to it. If you throw your disc and it cuts left at the end (as basically every disc thrown RHBH does) you better watch where it lands as it can get thrown down the slope and into the water or lost in the brush. I spent well over an hour looking for a disc after not having watched where it landed. Basically on this section I recommend throwing further right so that when it cuts back it lands somewhere in the fairway area.

Other Thoughts:

Nice course with some variety when the baskets are moved around, just too much brush at times and can be extremely muddy when it snows or rains as the shade from the grass/brush doesn't allot it to melt too fast.

Bring a Search Party 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 29, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Long range holes
Great distance driving practice
Good use of natural land
Lots of risk / reward with the river and thick weeds
Benches & trash cans scattered throughout the course

Cons:

Weeds on weeds on weeds on weeds
Not much shade after the first 5 or so holes

Other Thoughts:

It's a good course. I've lost a disc here and found many more.

You have to keep your eye on EVERY shot. There are bushes and weeds everywhere. The course gets mowed occasionally however when it's not freshly cut the natural grass & sage brush just devour discs.

This is not a beginner course, it will just frustrate you if you don't land directly on the fairway. After a rain fall a big hyzer shot on 4,5,6 puts you in a river with no hope of getting it back.

The baskets move locations occasionally & the variety is nice. Distance means nothing over accuracy here if you want to leave with the same number of discs you teed off with. The tricky part is that all the shots are open and LONG. So you need to throw long for par but accurate for your wallet.

Once you've got control of your drivers this is a pretty fun long range course. If you have an arrant shot, be prepared to wander though the sage.

a nice colorado course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 23, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- Good use of available topography
- Tees have been upgraded to turf pads

Cons:

- Newbies may have difficulty figuring out the course layout
- Not a great beginner course with all the wild brush on every hole
- Not a technical course, very open

Other Thoughts:

I've played this course many times as its proximity was close to me. There are many abysmal courses out there and this is NOT one of them, but it doesn't really stand out either. As the score indicates, it is a very average, typical Colorado course. It does attempt to utilize the site topography which is important, but as with many courses, trees are lacking and it quickly turns into a 'throw it far as you can' sort of course. Sometimes this can be fun, but not when it is every hole. Beginners will find difficulty learning here as well as the rabbitbrush and other scrub brush can hide disks on every hole.

conviently located adequate course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 16, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- easy to get to from I-25
- decent astroturf pads
- trash cans on a number of holes, with new bags (suggesting they're regularly emptied)
- good hole markers
- good use of elevation, with shots going both up and down hills.
- a few interesting holes, including one (#7) with a blind tee
- some longer throws

Cons:

- this course can feel a bit oppressive when it gets hot. It's half-ringed by trees (on the south and west sides) but gets virtually no shade. The insects can put up a good, loud, constant buzzing noise.
- a couple hole markers missing
- Lack of any vertical obstructions makes the course a little less interesting
- The low and pervasive brush can make it difficult to find discs. I'm figuring it's pretty hard to lose a disc permanently, but I imagine a spotter would be worthwhile on many holes.

Other Thoughts:

- Most of the time it's pretty obvious where the next tee is, although there were a couple holes where it is not clear.
- The current course has the pin positions for #15 and #18 swapped, making it almost impossible to find the right basket if you're not already aware.
- Only a couple other groups were playing the couple times I went out.

I've played this course a few times and I must say I liked the old layout versus the new layout I feel like some of the holes are right on top of each other and it was not that way before the redesign
I would recommend Jellystone over this course any day even thought you have to pay $5 to play jellystone but it is worth every penny

Good for more experienced players 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 15, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Good elevation change for a city course. Location is convenient and perfect for getting dropped off, while the wife goes to Park Meadows! Nice cages and friendly players.

Cons:

Not many short, ace shot holes. Grasses/weeds/shrubs can be IMPOSSIBLE! Use spotters if you can or make sure to pay attention to landmarks near landings. Prepare yourself to lose a disc or two. Novice players slow down the pace of play and people need to get better about picking up after their dogs.

Other Thoughts:

Do yourself a favor... If you can't control your discs, skip this course! There are infinite ways to lose your disc and spend all your time searching. Also, with the compact layout, its easy to fly a disc and hit other players. Families are a no-no. But, otherwise, its a fun play. If you're from the north part of town, invest the time to travel down to Jellystone, instead of this course.

Watch out 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 27, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Challenging layout
Concrete Tees
Not overwhelmingly busy for location (on weekdays)

Cons:

Highway/Roads on both sides with loud traffic
Terrible bushes/terrain to loose a disc.

WATCH OUT on every throw, even the shortest of throws can be lost in a flash. Also dont let your Frisbee go left when you are shooting near the river you probably wont find it.

Other Thoughts:

Decent course, really wouldn't be too bad if they mowed/maintained the brush. Besides the high probability of losing your Frisbee, fairly challenging course worth playing every once and a while

400+ Foot Hyzer Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 10, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

+Nice baskets
+Not a lot of things to get in the way of your long hyzers. This part of the park is fairly dedicated to disc golf.
+Probably isn't too crowded
+Minor elevation changes make it slightly more interesting
+It was pretty easy to navigate around this course. It is open and flows logically so it was usually easy to find the next tee and easy to see the next basket most of the time.
+Some trash cans. Not much trash on the course.

Cons:

-Very open, doesn't force any lines. It is just long shot after long shot. One of the more repetitive course that I have ever played. If I play a repetitive course, I at least want the repetition of a somewhat fun shot.
-Not much variation in distance. Most of the holes are longish but not too long.
-Disc eating brush and bushes
-Prairie dog holes that can injure you
-Poor rutted natural tees
-Desert like. Barren, windy, dusty, dry. Not really a pleasant place to hang out.

Other Thoughts:

-This park wasn't good for anything else so they threw a course on it. It wasn't good for disc golf either.
-I really wouldn't come here unless you are a course bagger or wanted to practice your long, open drives.
-Keep your eye on your discs. They can easily get lost in the brush.

Nice layout, but nastly plant life 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 3, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Good variety of distance and hole design. Plenty of short and long holes to offer some challenge as well as some scoreable holes. Nice use of elevation with a couple fun downhill holes as well as a couple challenging uphill holes. The holes around the perimeter of the course tend to be the better holes, as they have the most interesting hole design with more obstacles to force a certain shot shape.

Cons:

The plant life here is unpleasant for player and disc. Discs are often difficult to find in the prairie scrub that dominates this course. The same plants also leave bits behind in your shoes and socks. Each time I've played here, I've spent the next couple days with pieces of the course irritating my feet. This course is mostly open, with trees coming into play on just a handful of holes, mostly on the perimeter of the park. A couple of tees are placed at the base of steep 15 foot hills that level off at the top, resulting in an effectively blind teeshot. It can be difficult finding your disc even when you know the approximate landing spot, but when the last half of the flight path is out of view, it is even more difficult.

Other Thoughts:

I haven't lost a disc here, but there is plenty of opportunity. There is something about the prairie scrub here that makes discs hard to find. Discs like to stay vertical in the bushes, so you need to watch your disc carefully so that you can spot the bush it goes into so that you can find your disc more easily. Navigation here can be a little tricky the first time around. The course layout here is fun, but the brush takes away from the enjoyment factor. If there were better defined fairways where you could safely land and find your disc, this course would get a higher rating.

A desert in Colorado? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 23, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

I thought this was an interesting course. It was the first one I played in CO, so it was not what I was expecting. It seemed more like a course you'd find in Arizona or New Mexico. That said, I've never played a course with this type of terrain/plant life, so it was a nice change of pace. The holes are deceiving because its hard to tell exactly how far away the pin is because the whole course looks exactly the same. Keep an eye on that shot though, because it is harder to find than you expect when you get up there.

Cons:

Most of the holes looked pretty much the same. The challenge wasn't so much is the shot or disc selection, but rather finding your disc in the knee high foliage. It wasn't that thick, but it did seem to swallow discs pretty easily and you didn't want to get stuck by the plants when reaching down to grab your disc

Other Thoughts:

It is very dry, so bring water. Also the plant life is short but prickley, so wear a good pair of pants and shoes.
