Awesome Front Range Course
5+ 
5/31/2006 
7/23/2012Pros: Great views, great layout. Well kept. I miss playing this course. Course designers did a good job of creating obstacles out of otherwise bland terrain. Great course for dogs. No pedestrian traffic at all...pure DG all day.
Cons: Absolutely no wind protection from the front range winds. Tee boxes tough to locate on the first go around.
Other Thoughts: Fun course that draws good people.

Other Thoughts: From the street this course looks very unimpressive, but since it is close to my house I thought I would give it a try. I'm so glad I did. It has become one of my favorite courses.
With other courses by the time you hit your groove you are just finishing up. On this course you hit your rhythm and still have 15 holes to go!
This course is a great course for beginners or players who haven't played in awhile and need to shake off some rust. It's a great mix of challenge and "confidence builders". It also is a great opportunity to work on mid-range and approach discs.
This course is highly recommended

Cons: Pants and shoes highly recommended for this course
Wear sun screen ! Most of this course is right out in the open under the sun. It can get unpleasant if you didn't prepare thoroughly.

My Home course
Pros: Great for newbs and pros alike. Most tee shots are wide open so you can grip and rip, but if you want to score you need to be accurate. I live within 2 minutes of the course so i play almost daily there and it does not get old. Bird is good about changing the basket location to add a different feel. The course is under construction right now with 4 holes removed but it is a 27 hole course so there is plenty to play.
Cons: The only real con is the WIND, people who know this course know that it is most often windy so try and pick a good day. Only other con I run into is people who do not know the course have a hard time navigating it, so a few arrows pointing to the next tee might be helpful.
Other Thoughts: Overall i consider this the best course in the area, never too crowded and most people are friendly and will let you play through, the course is very dog and beer friendly. A big arm will never have a bad day at this course

Nice day nice people Pros: Course is very diverse. The park is well maintained and clean. People are very friendly and will let you play through.
Cons: Fairly busy. I encountered several groups over seven people, but of course they were considerate and let me play through. The course was a bit hard to follow in places.
Other Thoughts: If you are going to drive to Arvada, I would encourage going to Johnny Roberts. This course was great, but for the drive, Johnny Roberts is better.

classic suburban denver
Pros: Variation of distances, some elevation.
Cons: No trees. You can kinda just throw and as long as you get the distance correct you are good to go. Dry ponds are the stupidest thing ever... never play them unless its a tournament

Growing up nicely 
Pros: I love this course. It has allowed to to improve my game leaps and bounds. What makes me love this course? The holes are well thought out to use both distance and accuracy. Some holes require a big drive while some holes demand a drive be placed very accurately. The long tee pads give players a good run up to help maximize the drive. Hole #1 is a fun downhill shot that gets either love or hate from the wind. Hole #2 takes some of the trees at this dusty course in to play for a shot hole. Holes #9 & #10 are two of my favorite holes on this course. These holes demand a shorter, yet accurate drive. When hole #15 is in its eastern position it is guarded by many trees. I enjoy hole #18 as a quick drop off hill. I have played holes 19-24 only a handful of times. It appears that though is being put in to making these holes better. The course gets better every time I play it. A disc golf only park. Never crowded. Great for tournament or casual play.
Cons: This course lacks appropriate signage. Small numbers on the rocks near the tee pads are not visible. Rocks can mess up lower end plastic. Hole #7 can require a spotter for your disc. 18-24 does not have concrete tees. This course can get toasty in the afternoon sun. There are not too many places to retreat to shade so bring water.
Other Thoughts: John Bird truly loves this course. He is at the course often and is quick to show you new hole ideas and to discuss the future of the park. The changes made in the past year have improved the course nicely. Rumors of signage, concrete for 18-24, Pro shop and other amenities are floating around. Expect to see this course grow more and more.

C'est magnifique!
Pros: This is a solid course with a lot of character. I was pleasantly surprised after pulling into the lot and seeing a barren landscape. There are very few trees, but many of the baskets are strategically placed and put the trees to good use. The tee pads are sizeable. The course is mowed and the thick grass won't eat any discs. #1 is a great open to the course. There is no water (someone in Denver knows how to make a course where you don't have to worry about losing any discs)! Good variation in short and long holes. Nice views of the surrounding hills. The course is laid out well with paths to the next tee pad. It is so remote I doubt it's ever crowded. It feels like you are in the middle of nowhere, despite the ginormous suburban homes nearby. Volunteers made this course and they have done well. Props to John Bird.
Cons: Let's be perfectly honest, the O.B. is a joke. It is marked using large rocks, but I completely ignored them. Too unnatural. A few of the tee pads have no markings. The tee pads have foul lines on them with cement extending past the lines. I ignored the foul lines, too. The land is dusty and rocky, can be unsteady. I'm waiting for the 27 hole version. As it is run by volunteers and donations, the last third is still a work in progress.
Other Thoughts: I read a post on the message board that said the course can be configured into a "World-Class" 18 hole course. Barring the growth of massive trees, this claim is far from reality. The course is lengthy and uses the small hills well. I can't wait to play it again to see how it changes. With so many birdie opportunities, it is a fun course to compete against your friends or your enemies for that matter. If you're in Denver, be sure to take the long drive here.

BirdMan Pros: Lots of holes to open it up on, never seems to get backed up, disc golf only course, multiple pin placements, huge tee pads
Cons: Can get really windy in the afternoon, no nice tee signs yet
Other Thoughts: Fun course, will get even better as time goes on and the trees grow
