North suburban redemption
Pros: Very nice condition- signs and tee pads are A+!
Attractive landscaping.
Touch/short holes allow beginners to learn complexities of throwing and discs and experiencing success.
Fills in a part of the map that seems otherwise free of courses.

Cons: I did not find a local potty, perhaps I didn't look hard enough?
Signage indicates poison ivy can be found in the ditch (I didn't find this, either, but I'm not going to seek it out...)

Other Thoughts: These courses sit in the middle of a garage-forward subdivision that can be challenging to get from one area to another. If you are patient, and find a friendly local, they can show you how to move from north to south.
It may not be a stellar park, and it has no real wilderness qualities in the north section, but this is where disc golf needs to be present if we want to integrate the sport into more municipal parks and recreation planning. Kids will learn to play and love the sport.

Report this Review The Ace Place
Pros: -Nice concrete tee-pads
-Nice tee-signs that are easy to read and give a layout of the hole and distances of each pin placement.
-Brand new baskets that catch very well
-Practice basket and information board at the start of the course
-All of the holes provide a chance for an ace run.
-This is a very good course to bring someone to introduce them to the game.
-The whole course is in a well-groomed area of the park and there is very little risk of losing a disc here.
-There is a trashcan at most (if not all) of the holes on this side of the park

Cons: -This course has very little distance (The longest hole is about 210 feet long).
-There are very few obstacles and the obstacles that there are a very short trees that don't provide much of an obstacle
-While the course does have different pin positions, they only really add a little bit of distance and don't change the look of the holes.
-Pretty much all of the holes are straight, wide open shots and the course gets repetitive after a while
-A couple spots can be a little hard to navigate the first time you play because there are a lot of tee-pads and baskets near each other.
-The course has no elevation gain on it (the only exception is if you have a bad shot on Hole 1).
-This course does not provide much challenge and more experienced players may get bored quickly here
-We were there on a Saturday and the course was definitely quite crowded and there were a decent amount of non-dgers using the park.

Other Thoughts: This is a great course to just bring your putter or mid-range and practice shorter drives. It is also a great place to introduce newer players to the sport. There are no very memorable holes on the course and it starts to feel repetitive pretty quickly. It is a great place to stop if you are in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to play it unless you like shorter courses or are trying to introduce someone to the sport.

great for the whole family
Pros: super short and all on the grass. You will not lose discs here. All ages and experience can enjoy this corse. Very simple lay out, easy to follow.
Cons: not very challenging if your looking for a challenge. You can use your putter on the hole thing. No mature trees or shade. It was very windy when I was there, not sure if that is normal.
Other Thoughts: Super quick rounds and there is a little more challenging corse around the corner from it.

Pros: Welcome to the Denver metro area's newest disc golf course! Nine completely new disc golf holes are laid out across approximately one acre of open, grassy park near 136th & Holly. This very short course was designed with beginners, youth, and families in mind and succeeds admirably in catering to that audience. Intermediate and expert players can enjoy the abundance of mid-range shots, putts and ace opportunities. The layout is very simple, with hole 1 starting in front of the parking lot and zig-zagging across the lush, manicured grass. Signage is excellent, with printed diagrams and distances at each tee pad. The course location is conveniently placed in an area on the map that was previously devoid of any DG action. I actually did enjoy seeing a couple groups of young teenagers out there picking up on the sport.
Cons: Some of the holes play uncomfortably close to adjacent fairways and baskets, making it very important to keep courtesy and safety in mind, especially since many younger and inexperienced players are out and about. On a sunny evening between 5 and 8 pm, the small course and park can get quite busy, so solo golfers may have to exercise patience if playing behind a group of 3-4 newbies. The Springvale South course (the back 9) could be played in conjunction with this course to make a full round of 18, but it is over half a mile away and, oddly enough, you have to walk past hole #12 on your way to #10 when approaching from the northern park.
Other Thoughts: It is great to see new disc golf courses pop up on the Denver map, and Springvale North is a welcome addition. Larger courses that boast technical features, complicated layouts and hefty throwing distances (for example, Camenisch Park - Badlands) are intimidating to new players, so this course definitely has its purpose and is sure to generate more popularity for the sport. It's a great course to bring a couple buddies who are at different levels of play for a low-key round!

Wonderful Little Pitch& Putt!
Pros: Everything is brand new with no wear and tear, no grafitti. It's really refreshing to see baskets and tee signs right out of the box in their pristine condition. These are DGA baskets with the numbers facing the right direstion, that is, back toward the tee pad. You hardly need it here as the distances are so short, ranging from 156' to 284'. This is a course you could easily play barefoot. The grass is green, totally thick and healthy. The signs are great with a picture, distance and par. This is the perfect little course for the family or girlfriend or the beginner. And that's exactly who was playing the morning I played. Each hole is a possible ACE.
The course sits about 2/3 mile from it's slightly tougher big brother course, Springvale South. The Springvale South has all the same amenities and is basically the back nine to this little gem. The baskets there are numbered 10-18. You can play them seperately or as an 18 hole course.

Cons: The only con I can fathom up is that this is a PITCH & PUTT. It's not designed to challenge even the average hack disc golfer. Everything else is currently a thumbs up for me.
Other Thoughts: Little Pitch & Putts like this one introduce a lot kids, wives and interested looky-loos to disc golf. If you're looking for a quick 20 minute round and maybe a few ACE runs, knock yourself out and have a ball. If you're looking for a challenge, go play the Outback.

Front 9 - easy warm-up
Pros: Family friendly, open, short, great for beginners and children. Well kept grass. Double chain catch.
Cons: Short, back 9 quite a walk. See south review
Other Thoughts: This is a great beginning course, but not limited to children or beginners. It will give you a chance to work on your throws without worry of loosing a disc.
