Pros: Get out your sandals, cause you might get wet. When I first moved to Denver I remember playing from the steam and loving every minute of it. Now I stay in the fairways. I'd say you really have to have a game where you have to throw both directions. Wether its anheizer or forehand - who cares. You really have to navigate the trees. That's what gets me coming back for more and more....It's got the technical difficulty of a Mt. course in the middle of Denver. If you really want to bomb a drive, there are a couple of holes that might fit your taste, but you better be able to navigate a little. Do some history research on disc sports and you'll find out that Johnny Roberts was a class act back in the hay day when this sport took off. Its a true tribute to him and an inspiration to play his Memorial course every time.

Cons: Its a short course for the current PDGA standards, but again you've gotta know how to throw around objects. The traffic is an issue, but timing is key in that regard. Give me a Super Class disc any day on this course and I'll have a fun time......I've even seen a few Ultimate players bringin' out their discs for an afternoon of fun.

Other Thoughts: A top notch course, Mile High Disc Golf does a great job working with the community in all respects with this course. Its no walk in the park, but if you wanna make it that way ..... "no worries" its that as well - just go out and have fun. No T-times, just a little patience and you are in.

Pros: -Oldest course in CO
-Really fun shots, but it is a birdie course
-Playing through the trees and along the creek requires precision
-Great course to work on your short game

Cons: -LOTS of ppl play here and it's pretty crowded most of the time. Along with other park users it can be kind of stressful.
-Lots of short holes, but it was designed back when discs only flew as far as modern putters and mid ranges.

Other Thoughts: I learned to play on this course and then moved to CA 5.5yrs ago. I came back and really wanted to play it to see if it was as fun as I remembered. The good news is that it is still a really fun course. The redesign took away some of my favorite holes, but it was probably necessary due to safety and playability issues. I recommend playing it to anyone going to play in the Denver area, only bring your putter and a midrange and enjoy the course as it was intended to be played.

Pros: If you want to play a course and have a lot of good shots and have FUN then this is your place. Everyhole is a possible ace run. The creek that flows through it is not deep (6-8 in ) so any water shot you can retrieve easily. Sign are very well informed. I stoped in to check it out and ended up playing 3 round in less that 5 hrs.

Cons: Cop shop right across the street is intimidating for a golfer like me who likes to drink some "aiming fluid", but all is good oncwe you get familiar with the area.

Pros: This course is short, but makes you focus much more on finesse. If you want to score well here you need to play the percentages on your drives and work the disc many different ways to achieve those high percentage shots.

My favorite aspect of this course is the "fun factor." This course is packed with regulars because of the fun atmosphere this course creates. The many pin placements keep this great course fresh.

Finally, the signs indicating yardage and pin positions are the best I've seen. Every hole has a picture showing the multiple pin placements and yardages.

Cons: This course can be very short if the tees are in the short positions. Also, the course can be very busy at peak times, especially with pedestrian traffic.

Other Thoughts: Prepare to get wet as pretty much every hole lines the creek. Also, do not play after a heavy storm because it is near impossible to find discs in the raging creek.

Pros: With its impressive age and durability, Johnny Roberts is a beautiful, short, water filled course that still holds a challenge to today's modern golfer. Built along a good size creek, I felt as if I was back in Dallas Texas playing Alex Clark Memorial DGC. However, unlike Alex Clark's "disc golf creek of death" filled with murky brown water, poisonous snakes, and lined with steep unforgiving edges - Johnny Roberts creek is fairly tame. There are only a few areas that your disc couldn't be retrieved if it got wet. Granted, you will get wet trying to get a lost disc, but you just won't have to kill yourself trying to do it.

It's short length still stands the test of time with large old growth trees serving as guardians around the pins, coupled with interesting shot selections that can prove to be big risks versus rewards like hole #7.

The other major pro about this course is its signage. Besides the high quality John Houck signs I've seen on some Texas courses - these may be the finest quality sign I've laid my eyes on. What sets them apart is the fact that not only do it include a picture and the usual information, but also the information and look of the every hole in proximity to that sign. This is a huge help to first timers on the course, and an extra you just don't see many other places. With a practice basket and bathrooms, this course has all the fundamentals a person needs to make it a day.

BEST HOLE/S: #7; #15

Cons: The course is short. Again, much like Alex Clark in Dallas, this was designed as a superior course thirty years ago. It's the granddaddy that keeps giving, however the length and technical difficulty with today's equipment has dropped tremendously, which can serve as a con to more experienced players.

The actual design of this tight course along the creek is it's biggest con and worst limitation. I have never experienced a course that plays back on itself as much as this one. It plays through multiple busy walking paths, and back over previous fairways like holes #7 and #8 or #10, #11, and #12. With such a high volume of people using the park walkways, grass areas, and disc golf course - I understand why the heavy traffic can get very frustrating very fast. The walkways themselves even double as tee boxes at times, so an errant throw can prove dangerous.

WORST HOLE/S: #12; #18

Other Thoughts: I glad to see a course with such rich disc golf history stand the test of time. I went very early in the morning, as I suggest you do, to beat the large crowds that can make for an unnecessarily long day. And sure, Johnny Roberts isn't a top rated course as it once was, and it general design severely limits it from ever being considered tournament caliber - but here that doesn't seem to be the point. Rather Johnny Roberts serves as a standard to so many people who began there disc golf careers here, and who still show it the love and respect it deserves today.

Pros: This is an enjoyable and frustrating course to play. The course being frustrating is a pro because it keeps you coming back, thinking you can shoot better the next time. It has two pin locations per hole. The variety of holes is solid. You have shots that are toward water, over water, beside water, surrounded by water, and near water. The front side seems much easier than the back, although it might just be that my skill set plays the front side better than the back. I also can't think of two holes that are nearly the same. The variety is solid, requiring left, right, and straight shots, with water on different sides many times, and trees in all sort of places around them, with some small hills here and there. If you want a short course (although i have seen much shorter) that forces a good variety of shots and is somewhat difficult, then this is a good place to go. It's a place that I could take a beginner, and build them up into a solid player. Oh yeah, there's a practice basket, a great addition to any course.

Cons: When people aren't at work and kids aren't at school, this course will get crowded quickly. The River, along with being a great place to build a course around, is also a con because of losing discs, as all water can be. Although you can get the discs back fairly easily out of most parts of the water, going down the bank and back up it several times becomes quite tiring and wet. It's also bad when you are doing it for other people time and time again, or if people ahead of you keep throwing theirs in the water and trying to find it. Some people also find it quite appropriate to practice their drives in the field on holes 1 and 18. if you are teeing off at hole 1, they usually notice you and will stop for you to tee off. But if you are on 18, you are right behind two trees, and they won't know you are there unless you tell them. There are also very few elevation changes, and no holes longer than 350. I think two holes changed elevation more than 5', and those were maybe 7'-10' uphill. And as always, the park pedestrians have the right of way.

Other Thoughts: This is one of those courses that I could spend all of one day playing it. It doesn't tear your arm up, and it is a fun course that leaves you thinking you can only do better-especially when you go in the water on #9 and get a 4 or 5 on a 100' hole. It plays slightly downhill, and the pole is about 10'-15' from the stream/riverwhich is behind and left of the hole. There are trees guarding the hole, and bumps in the terrain and small grass before the hole. The putting area is very smooth with packed dirt. any drive to the putting area or putt toward the water has a chance of going into the stream. it's the best hole under 160' that i've seen. Fun course.

Pros: The course is laid out in a mostly flat park with a creek and many mature trees. There is a nice mix of more open shots and technical shots with tight windows. The layout of the course forces all kinds of different shots to be successful, and accuracy is very important on many of the holes. The design makes good use of the trees in the park to define fairways and to protect many of the pins. The creek comes into play often, and makes for a lot of great risk reward decisions.

The tee signs here were just about the best I've seen. Each had a picture of the hole with the various pin locations marked. They had clearly marked distance and par, and made the course extremely easy to follow. The alternate pin placements looked like they would really change up the course and offer different challenges.

The tee pads were a decent size, and were nice concrete that offered good footing. The grounds were very nicely taken care of, with nice grass on the fairways, and no downed limbs or brush around on the course. It's clear that a lot of work goes into keeping up the course, and it makes a difference.

Cons: The one thing that's missing from the course design is length. There wasn't enough room in the park to safely put in longer holes, and so the drivers don't come out on this course hardly at all.

The park was very busy with other users when we played, and this created some safety hazards on a few holes. The course plays over a walking path numerous times, so we ended up waiting for walkers and joggers to clear the hole a few times. The course was also pretty crowded with other players, though this wasn't a big deal as they were all very friendly and seemed to play with good course etiquette.

Other Thoughts: I really enjoyed this course, and would definitely recommend playing this one. It's accessible to beginning players, but offers many challenges to more experienced throwers. Though there is not a lot of length, it uses the space very well to test different types of shots.

I would definitely recommend this course if you're anywhere near the Denver area, it's worth a drive to play. The course is fun, and the locals were very friendly. This course has held up very well to the years and the large number of players, and despite it's age is still a fun and challenging play.

Pros: This course was in a really beautiful park that the city works hard to keep nice. The signage is the best, and the concrete tee pads were nice as well. The creek that runs through the entire course makes every shot interesting, but it will generously return your discs. When the course was designed, they made sure to use all of the unique landmarks in the park, but they didn't make shots too difficult. There were alternate pin positions marked on the sign, so I'm sure that the city keeps the course fresh. It was mostly open, but some holes are fairly wooded, and there are a ton of birdie opportunities. The course is extremely easy to navigate. There were lots of friendly locals of all skill levels out having a good time.

Cons: Course Layout is one of my buttons, I guess...A few of the holes had the baskets of the previous hole in their fairways. Sidewalks run through the whole course, so played can be slow at times. Not really much room to let fly a bomb...All the holes are pretty short.

Other Thoughts: I hit this one up along with three others during a day in the denver area, and this one was overall really nice. I had a very enjoyable round. My friend and I chatted with a few locals, both disc golfers and non-disc golfers, and found some good people. I would definately recommend paying this one a visit if you are in the area.

Pros: nice little park. well done with what there was to work with, fun little stream. Enough big trees to make it bearable in the summer, plenty of shade and down near a little stream to splash around in if too hot.

Cons: short but challenging,

Other Thoughts: It's been a while since I have been there, but I remember it was overall nice.
