It's OK
Pros: If you don't have time to play a full 9 or 18 this course is ideal for getting your arm warmed up. The lines are pretty fun and mostly all are ace-able. The water source running through the middle shouldn't play too big of a factor into your game in the winter time but I haven't seen it in the spring. No crowds here.
Cons: The natural teepads could use some updating and the baskets are wearing down. I even got lost where to go after #3 so look at the map before going. The creek might play a factor in the summer time. Probably the lowest priority course to play in Greeley.

Pros: This course is like instant oatmeal or fast food. People are in a hurry and whipping off a round of disc golf in 15 minutes must appeal to a lot of them because this course gets more than it's share of players. I played fairly early on July morning and although there were no misquitos around, there were already other players present.
The course sits in this pretty little neighborhood park that's sunk down below street level. It's green with mature shade trees. Just a very inviting, neighborly type of park. The baskets are old, single chain, rust buckets
Like others, I really liked # 3 as the signature (How much of an honor is it to be the signature hole on a 6 hole course?) hole. That's just a fun little throw. # 6 also merits consideration.

Cons: The single chain baskets. The lack of marked teepads. The fact that this park would retain so much water. The misquitos. Only six holes.
Other Thoughts: I think the worn natural teepads are kind of an eyesore here. I'm surprised the neighbors don't complain about them. I think it would be great to install simple little patio block teepads. Keep em relatively small. The parks department could mow right over the top of them. First time players could find them. They'd make a nice addition to this little neighborhood treasure.

Good Course
Pros: Open with some obstacles including water and lots of trees, pretty park with places for children to play.
Cons: Water is stagnant and deep hard to retrieve discs that go in would not advise swimming! Good for moderate players who can avoid water at all costs.
Other Thoughts: I would reccomend this course to others!

Pros: This is a fun, well located, course that lies in the middle of Greeley, CO. The Pin Locations are well thought out for an "Up & Down" Course. Great Atmosphere to the Course.
Cons: Course only Had 6 Holes when I was there....Almost Every Hole crossed Fairway's with another Hole, so you constantly have to keep your eye out for Random "Discs in Air".
Other Thoughts: The Course is a nice refresher to the ever busy UNC course only a couple minutes away. If in Greeley, I'd check out this course and the UNC course.
You won't need more than a Driver, Fairway Driver & Putter here, as there are no Real "Disc Lost" Factors, But watch out for Path-Ways if you play by Traditional Rules.

Pros: -Decent mix of distances ranging from about 150 feet to about 350 feet.
-Good use of the little elevation that comes into play
-Small water hazard
-Some fun well designed holes
-Multiple pin positions that move from time to time

Cons: -Tees pads are nothing but a small yellow circle in the ground near a worn dirt patch. They can be really hard to find and the course is hard to follow at times the first time you play
-The tee-pads have become incredibly rutted and some off them are really hard to throw off of
-No tee-signs
-Grass can grow a lot little near the drainage ditch which could eat discs if they land in there
-Baskets are old and very rusted and only have one set of chains
-The water (I don't even know if you can call it that) in the drainage ditch is absolutely disgusting (Someone had left a wet pair of shoes near the drainage ditch because they did not want them after wading into for a disc)
-There are several crossing fairways
-Baskets are pretty old and rusted

Other Thoughts: This course is well designed for the small amount of space available, I am glad they did not try to put more than six holes in here because it would be way to cramped. I wouldn't go out of my way to play this course but if you are in the area make sure to give it a try

Back for a quick round
Pros: Quick if you need to be...it's only 6 holes. Mature Veg makes it a challenge. not too busy with bikes or walkers.
Cons: can we say SWAMP. I grew up in Greeley and actually lived about 2 miles from this park. Believe it or not I proposed to my wife under the big Willow that is in front of the pond on hole 3. There has been a lot of changes to that park over the past decade and the additional water (swamp) is one of them. Seriously I question the Parks department for even watering right now, it was so wet I bet if they turned off the water for a week nobody would notice.
Other Thoughts: Fun technical course, but wow finding the tees can be tough. Played it twice while I was in town for a memorial service and still can't find the #5 tee marker. All of the others were there but look at the map so you get a sense of where to look for them. I played #5 from the #2 tee just becuse it had a concrete pad to use and I really liked how that alignment played. 6 is a great chance for an Ace, threw 6 times each round and came within feet of an "ace" at least half of that time and all were gimmie birds.

A Quick Six 
Pros: Hole #3 - I love this hole. You throw over the small creek bed fade right up the hill that is protected by a huge tree. If you hit the tree you risk rolling all the way back down towards the creek, making what seemed like and easy birdie hole into a good par save. This a great example of what a short hole can offer in a small space.
Each DISCatcher hole is marked with the number, and all boxes have small concrete numbered blocks set into the ground similar to what you'll find at Pioneer Park in south Greeley. Hole length is good given the limited space and #6 is the only real gimmie hole because of the use of the trees and pin placements. The park is well groomed and makes for a great quick round.
BEST HOLE/S: #3

Cons: Much like Pioneer Park, I hate the markers set into the ground because it makes navigation for first timers a bit difficult. Plus, even though there is a map that is generally good, hole #1 pin placement is way off, and the distances don't seem quite right. Also, some might find it difficult to make a long trip just for six holes.
However, the biggest complaint may be hole #1. It looks like it used to play solely on the left side of the creek, however it has been moved to the right side making the hole harder and more fun - but directly in the center of #5 fairway. This would be dangerous on a busy day, and this is not indicated on the map near the road by #1. Plus, even though I enjoyed the easy bird, many would consider #6 a throwaway hole due to its very short length and no foliage cover.
WORST HOLE/S: #1; #6

Other Thoughts: Epple Park is a bit of a conundrum when it comes to ranking a course. On the fun factor I would put it ahead of the University of N. Colorado Campus course and Pioneer Park. However, I believe UNC rates slightly higher due its concrete pads and three extra holes making a complete nine. Both are better than Pioneer Park. Of course if you throw in Oxbow DGC in Windsor, which is only a few miles away, it's better than all three courses in Greeley.
Even though I think it's the most fun course, Epple earns a strong two disc rating based on length and creativity in a small land area, but suffers from the quality boxes, number of holes, and fiasco that is the current hole #1 placement. Bottom line, if you live in Greeley hitting all three courses in one day might be the best choice if you have time, but if you're in the area and need a good quick round - Epple Park is my number one choice.

Pros: This is a shorter course that has been modified through local club efforts to improve to a well maintained and varying degree of difficultly course. There are only six hole, but at least 4 alternate positions for most of the hole, ensuring that the course no longer gets stale. These positions add extra difficult for people who want it, while allowing casuals a fun playing expirience. The grass and trees are always kept in top shape, and the creek that runs through the course is simply stunning in the fall when the cat-tails get really high. Enough long hole that the drive won't feel left out, and yet several short ace run holes.
Cons: Only six holes, but as stated in some of the other reviews six quailty holes instead of nine cluster holes. In the summer mosquitoes, make sure you bring the bug spray. There is also heavy traffic during the summer and nice weekends meaning sometimes wait times on tee boxes come into play.
Other Thoughts: This is a good course to play on a quick lunch break or a full day. One thing to keep in mind is that since the course is in a valley, when the wind blows it swirls and can turn this nice little course into one with extreme difficulty.

Pros: if only more course we're put in the ground in parks like this as it was well manicured, beautifully landscaped park in a very nice neighborhood.
lots of friendly players willing to show you the course and or the extra holes.
stone line creek!! (how cool is that!)

Cons: only 6 holes (but with size of this park, it was safe and efficent). Needs better tee signs. On the street parking. didn't see a restroom.
Other Thoughts: Best DGC in the area unless the University's course is uncrowded.
Thanks Gary for your kindness and direction. Hope you learn your backhand.

Pros: Fun to play course where ace chances are solid. Great course to get in a quick six when you don't have much time on your hands. Big trees on the edges of every hole, some spruces that love to munch on stray discs. Small water hazard by means of a runoff creek winds through #'s 1,2,3,5. Well kept park in the city with plenty of shade in the summertime. I've organized and installed alternate pin locations with the help of my fellow club members. These new placements add more difficulty as well as a whole new realm of alternate tee boxes never before seen!!
Cons: Mosquitoes galore. Soaked to the bone after rain making walking a bit swampy in spots. This park actually will fill up with water after a rainstorm and will remain soggy for a couple days afterwards. Two sidewalks run right through holes 1,2,3,5, so watch out for pedestrians. Do your best to stay out of the pond on hole 3, one trip in there and you'll know why.
Other Thoughts: Many alternate tees make the course more enjoyable, ask local club members about configurations.
