Pros: Quick play ~30 - 35 minutes
Easy for beginners with limited cover.
Some logs used to make holes slightly more challenging and a couple holes great fun. .
Easy to reach location.

Report this Review You are being watched! 
Pros: Easy to parking right next to the first hole. Navigation is no real issue here, you can see the next tee right next to the previous basket. Teepads are nice large cement pads in great shape. No teesigns, but it is very obvious where the basket is as you can see them all. Need and ace, then some here. Some pretty short holes that are just asking for and ace. Old tree limbs are carefully placed around some of the baskets to add to the challenge and give it a unique feel.
Cons: Flat dry and void of vegitation. Some dry weeds and a few trees but thats about it, except for lots of dirt. Looks like it was built on an abandoned lot. I slightly enjoyed my two rounds here, but after that the excitement was gone. Nothing too special here.
Other Thoughts: You are being watched by prairie dogs all the time. You are playing on their land. They will watch you putt and drive, but at least they are quiet. A beginner course for sure. If you are looking for a challenge then go elsewhere otherwise just bring your putter and work on your short game.

watch the prairie dogs scatter! 
Pros: Baskets and tees are in excellent shape and all at a uniform height.
good flow with easy navigation with the exception of between 5 and 6.
Great use of dead trees to add character to the course and protect some of the most vulnerable greens.
Has it's own part of the park with very little chance of hitting non-golfers except maybe if you loose it way left on 2.
Lot of ace runs here!
It's a mile from my house!!

Cons: Not a lot of variety in shots.Not one hole I can't drive.
if you can throw it 250+ you can putt for birdieon every hole.
Tends to attract a lot of douchebags.Don't be surprised if playing alone the groups of 4+ wont even so much as think of letting you play through.You usually have to skip them.
As with the last paragraph you can't put it beyond people throwing on the same hole your playing.
Litter again the douches strike again.The course has more than enough trash cans and yet there are butts everywhere.A couple of times there were beer cans lying around within 10 feet of a trash can.
Parking lots a little to close for comfort to the first basket and with a lot of beginners playing here I would advise against parking close to the basket.

Quick and Easy
Pros: Quick and easy course that is great for practicing putts/mid-range shots. It was fun for the beginner and had a few holds that were surprisingly decent (5,6,7,9).
Cons: Not very inspiring due to location. Tees pads not all marked well but only #6 is hard to find (near the far-fence). Some old pathways intersecting the course can beat-up the discs.
Other Thoughts: Bring your whole bag when it is not busy and throw multiple shots per hole to make it a great practice spot for accuracy and putting.

Against the grain Pros: I will be apparently going against the grain, but out of all of the nine hole courses I have played, this is one of the best. The course has a wide variety of lengths, and obstacles. The paths are paved concrete which is nice. The best part of this course is the 100's of spectators. This course is covered with prairie dogs. You get to disc golf and see some entertaining wildlife.
Cons: The holes are very short, and it is in an odd part of town. Also, hole layout is a bit confusing.
Other Thoughts: I had a blast on this course, and will likely return.

Interesting Dead Log Arrangment you Have 
Pros: Schaefer DGC is a surprisingly fun short nine hole course that is perfect for novice players. At just over 2100' holes average around 250' on open and easy to navigate terrain. The course runs in a circle design starting and ending near the parking lot area. Baskets are in average shape and the concrete tees are ample and nice to shoot from.
I love when people go the extra mile on a course that is relatively plain and boring. Note the amount of dead tree trunks surrounding many of the pins, and you know that someone cares for this place. Some might think this is silly or unnecessary, but I thought they were a cool touch. This is a great course to learn, practice, and improve your short game. Plus a round only takes 30 minutes max, so you can play a few rounds in a short amount of time.
BEST HOLE/S: #7; #9

BEST HOLE/S: #7; #9
Cons: Intermediate players and above might find this place a bit boring because of the lack of challenge in length, pin placement, and foliage density. All of the holes are straight shots and never force you to use more than two or three discs in a round. If you're experienced and looking to improve your game, head into the mountains because this is not the course that raises the bar.
Print the map, because navigation can be difficult for first timers. The tee boxes and pins are easy to spot, but it's hard to know if you're shooting in the correct location some of the time. Note taking a left after pin #8, because you naturally want to move back over to #5. Finally, the course is pretty pitted since you're playing in a prairie dog town that is very reminiscent of Westminster DGC up in northwest Denver.
WORST HOLE/S: #4

Other Thoughts: This is one of those courses people tend to love or hate since it's fairly straight forward with not much to challenge you. The concrete tees and dead logs are nice addition, but even then it'll never be a destination location. I enjoyed my experience here and it helped me work out some kinks in my game before I hit the more challenging courses.
If you're new to the sport, need a quick fix, or like me - annoyed with your round at Arapahoe Community College a few miles away, Schaefer DGC is a welcome relief. However, since you're already in south Denver and have time, just make the pilgrimage up to Beaver Ranch/Conifer Park - one of the top courses in the United States, but if time or distance is a concern this place certainly fits the bill.

Very Fun, Very Very Short 5+ 6/28/2010 7/1/2010
Review By: ColoradoDiscGolfer Played: 31 Reviewed: 5 Exp: 6.1 Years
This review was updated on 9/3/2010
Pros: This is an awesome course for beginners and people who just want to play a quick round or two. Tees and baskets for the most part are easy to find, and for how short it is, there is still a variety of shots with bends left, right, around trees, even man placed obstacles.
Cons: Course is way too short for serious play. On occasion the course can become crowded quickly, but usually moves fairly quick.
Other Thoughts: Great course to hit on the way back to town after Conifer or Phantom Falls. Easy for kids and strollers to navigate, with porta-potties in the parking lot. Course is short enough you can play two or three rounds before you know it.

Pros: nice baskets, nice big cement tee pads, porta potties adjacent to the course, easy to get to from the highway, easy to play a quick round.
Cons: they had old dead trees sticking out of praire dog holes as the obstacles other than the fear of a rabid praire dog (i'm sure they're all friendly little praire dogs that just love to be petted) attacking you if one of your shots came to close for comfort as their dens are scattered all over the property. a few trees scattered about on the property.
no navigational design on tee sign to give the first time player at this course a clue of knowing if they're playing the correct hole.

Other Thoughts: It was another DGC that needs some serious attention to be considered a course to play all the time. i'd skip it and go to Conifer.
Maps available at park office which is at the other end of the baseball fields and park.

Prairie Dog Park 5+ 8/19/2009 8/21/2009
Review By: DGWookie Played: 21 Reviewed: 6 Exp: 4.1 Years
This review was updated on 8/25/2009
Pros: Good course for beginners. Good for mid and putt practice if you're more seasoned. You can play 2 games in a row fairly quickly to get in 18. The only place you might lose a disc for a little while is to the left of #9 when the grass is tall.
Cons: Trash on the ground most of the time, graffiti on hole markers, and lots of broken glass.
Other Thoughts: The city needs to bolt the log obstacles together on #7 to keep the nieghborhoodlums from knocking them down all the time.
Park close to the tee pad for #1 or risk errant discs hitting your vehicle.
This DGC needs some love...

use your imagination for great practice round
Pros: Great place to introduce others to the great sport of disc golf. It is a drive and put for us short throwers, but I have been able to carefully gage how much my drives are improving. 1, 5, and 8 can be a beginners first birdie holes. It is embarrasing when the Prarie dogs laugh and chuckle at your drive. Also, head here when the Denver skys turn dark. Just before the rain comes down the wind here gets trickey. If you show up alone, there is always someone to play with. Lots of interesting stories, always somebody to critique your shots.
Cons: A large group of young people can gather and play 8 to a hole, and they can manage to loose a disc in the Long grass around 9. Their biggest bragging thing was how many beers they could carry in their bag. There was a hornet's nest at the 8th tee, but, I called the Foothills park people and it was wiped out the following day! Since this is mainly a dirt course, if you play it a lot, you can get used to sliding an Aero up to the basket. This won't help at other courses, and can be a bad habbit.
Other Thoughts: Play this course with imagination. Make the tree on 8 a Mando opposite the natural fade of your disc. Instead of throwing your Roc at 1, see if you can get your longest driver from going past the hole. Use the old Teepad for 3 adds another 100 feet. You want to park as close as possible to the first teepad, because the farther down you are the more likely your car is to be hit by errant throws. I do love playing this course.
