New baskets

Didn't play all of the course but it seemed 18ish

new holes don't have tee pads

lots of old baskets removed which sucks since they weren't reused.

Wish they would have expanded w/o removing the old baskets. Hopefully they put the baskets back since some off them were really fun holes Be nice if/when tee pads go in.

> A fun and challenging course with personality.
-
> A decent mix of shot types and throws to keep things interesting.
-
> More focus on accuracy, placement and creativity than on raw distance (which makes this course a good contrast to the Badlands course here at Camenisch Park).
-
> Very good use of the space. I liked the way the trees, brush, creek and terrain played to create thoughtful obstacles.
-
> I had locals tell me that the course was a heavily wooded, brutally tight and dense course that would leave me begging for mercy... but I found the challenge level of the course to be just right and much more like the courses I am used to playing. I'd much rather be forced to develop a strategy for getting to the basket in fewer strokes than just throwing a long drive as close to the basket as possible and then tossing a short putt in. I used a much wider variety of discs and styles on this 9 holer than on the entire 18 hole in the other half of the park.
-
> While the tees were natural, they were all level and mostly flat... unlike those on the Badlands course
-
> A satisfying addition to create 27 holes in the park and a great break from the sun mid-game.
...

> The tee signs are abysmal. They are hard to see, some have no number on them and they just don't really serve much purpose at this point.
-
> The baskets are a hodge-podge of different makes and are all pretty lousy. The chains on them barely catch. They are all rusty and practically impossible to locate from a distance.
-
> Two missing baskets have been replaced by make-shift tone poles.
-
> There are a couple of safety issues for players - where tees are placed too close to the previous basket. I just found too much risk of a drive hitting a player on the next tee in the back of the head. I sure feel like this could have been prevented and would be easy enough to correct.
-
> There's a definte litter problem. This course needs trash cans and a good cleaning.
-
> Needs some TLC and basic maintenance... but it's not in bad shape yet.
...

> Again, I'd much rather play a course like this, where I'm required to think, focus and work for my par (or birdie)... and this did a much better job of that than the Badlands course. It's not as tight or brutal as I'd been led to believe.
-
> I sincerely believe that, with a bit of moderate effort, this course could be really special.

-variety of shots required due to the tight woods
-pond in play on hole 4, creek in play on holes 5, 7, 8
-elevations changes but not as drastic as Badlands
-the best part of this course is that it's nothing like Badlands

-very poor tees and baskets, no signs
-the woods are thick and unmaintained
-ground can be marshy around holes 4 and 5

These 9 holes are really more like bonus holes for the Badlands course. And thank goodness for them because it is exactly the change of pace needed from the wide open holes on Badlands. The woods are tight and the lines are challenging but sometimes awkward. The pond and creek that come into play make for some cool risk/reward options.

The drawback is that the course equipment is in awful shape. The tees are poor, the baskets are old and beat up, and there are no signs. The trees are also pretty overgrown in places, leaving a shot over the trees your only option in a spot or two.

It would be really great to see this course cleaned up and integrated with Badlands into one 27 hole layout with new signs. I can't imagine anyone plays this course without playing Badlands and if anyone wants to skip these 9 and play just 18 they can feel free. But a 27 hole layout with new signs would address some of the problems with each individual course.


**Like this review? Hate it? Message me and let me know why! I want to make them better!**

This nine hole secret course takes off from the 'Badlands' course and is a lot different not only from the "Badlands' but the rest of the Denver metro area. This course plays through tight woods and over a body of water with many obstacles, funky basket locations and awkward throws throughout the area.

Wooded courses have always been more fun to me and the open, longer holes have always been super boring to me so I had a much better time here, if tight woods are your thing than this is the best and only option in town for you.

Just like the movie you get lost in the woods, scared and scarred for the rest of your life. Navigating this course is very difficult even with following the flags everywhere finding tee pads is atrocious and you must walk almost every hole on the course before you throw it.

This course needs some TLC in the worst way and could be a really fun short, woods course but right now it's about half work and half fun. It is apparent that the local homeless population are camping out in this area of the park and vandalism and litter is everywhere. The basket for hole two was broken and unplayable when I was there , it looks like someone attempted to take the basket and gave up half way through, never the less the chains were all out and hanging down to the ground with yellow caution tape around the lower basket. I wouldn't play this course alone, bring a group, there are some shady characters lurking around in the bushes out there and they might be more harmful than the wicked witch of the east!

Others have spoken about combining the two courses into one making it a 27 hole course. That could make more traffic in the Blair Witch section and possibly drive out some of the scary lurkers in here as well as cut down some of the underbrush and lines in the fairway. Although the lines are fun, short and require you to hit a very, very small window some may argue that there is too much "luck" on the course. I don't agree with that which is why I mention it in the 'other thoughts' category. This course is much more unique and interesting (IMO) than any other course in town and is worth checking out.

Provides a great contrast to the Badlands course with tight wooded shots that require technical prowess as opposed to needing raw power. It is usually less crowded than Badlands, so if the wait time is too long you can cut back here. You can weave back to Blair Witch after playing hole #12 of Badlands, then rejoin Badlands after finishing Blair Witch, that gives you a 26 hole course (it would be 27, but hole #4 of Blair Witch has been missing a basket for months). A chance for the non-arms to keep up with their big arm playing mates.

Just like playing Badlands, be prepared to lose a disc here. It is overgrown to the point where you really need to send out a spotter before throwing a disc, it is just too easy to lose them here. My buddy lost a disc just today in a tree that was so densely overgrown you could not see into the branches above 7-feet. Speaking of the interesting characters you run into on Badlands, back in Blair Witch you run into people that make the Badlands characters uncomfortable, I wouldn't play this course alone, personally.

This course has a ton of potential, but there needs to be a major clean up effort and some careful pruning of trees and bushes to make the course more of a planned tight forest course, and less of an overgrown mess that just happens to have some baskets scattered about. Also, I think it's time for concrete tees, the holes are established. And please put a basket back on hole #4!

-This course was unique and certainly had character. It was aptly named.
-Surprisingly high fun factor for me. There were some tight holes, some with elevation, some risk/reward with the creek.
-The mando on 8 makes you throw a high shot which can be interesting.
-Is usually played in conjunction with another fairly fun course- Badlands. You get to this course after hole 12 from that course and after hole 9 you hop right back into Badlands.
-Friendly locals let me play through a few times and guided me around the course on other times.
-3 practice baskets located at the start of Badlands.

-0 signage. Tees were marked with a white PVC tube on top of a metal post. At least 1 or 2 of these were missing.
-Baskets are in poor shape and are not uniform at all. Many are quite old.
-It is apparent that homeless people live here.
-Saw a broken car window in the parking lot, not the best neighborhood.
-Some fairways are a little too tight, a few trimmings and this course would be good to go. Not any major work needs to be done in this regard. A little bit would go a long way.
-Navigation is difficult. There are blind shots and no signage. I followed a friendly local around- Thanks Derek!

-If this site were to combine Badlands and Blair Witch (they should IMO, does anybody ever play just this course???) and there was some work done on the park (new baskets and tees for BW at least, signage) this park could be a very solid 4.0 or even better. There is a lot of potential at Camenisch Park.
-Despite it's shortcomings, this is one of the better courses in the Denver Metro area. This course also is tighter than most courses around here, a refreshing change of pace from the flat and open courses.
-Lock your doors and don't leave anything valuable in sight. Not the best neighborhood.
-You could drop the kids off at water world and play a few rounds here.

-technical holes
-shade and low wind
-not too busy

-muddy in spots
-poorly marked
I don't know what else to say. not many cons

great technical course, since the removal of Johnny Roberts, this has become my new favorite

Teepads 2
Tee signs 0
Baskets 2
Flow 2
Difficulty 3.5
This course had some of what i like risk reward on downhill shots and elevation changes. the practice basket set up was legit

Several pins are blind some a marker as to where you are throwing would be good. Hole 4 seems a bit dangerous. You are almost encouraged to shoot big over the mound. Well there is a fence with barbed wire just to the left of the pin anything that gets up in the air could go over and you are screwed

I met some extremely nice folks here and had a chance to chat. I always feel pleasantly greeted by locals here in denver.

Unlike the Badlands course, Blair Witch Project is quite technical and has an array of different shots. It is much more difficult to shoot a 27 here than it is to shoot 54 a the other course. The length may not be here like it is at the other course but there is not a single hole that is the same here. Starting at Hole 1 which is a tight 6 foot gap downhill shot with the basket strategically placed. In my opinion Hole 1 is the best hole out of any of the 27 holes on site, because of it's uniqueness and the skill level is greater to succeed.

The gravel tee pads were not terrible; they could benefit from concrete but it is not terrible. Water can be a factor on holes 4-5 if the lake is full. It would not be a difficult task to clear the water but it does add some treachery on the course.

The fact that this course is much tougher than it's counterpart makes this course less played, but at the same time it makes the player want more and to succeed here.

I did not find navigation too terrible, however it could be drastically improved. The PVC tee signs do not say what hole it is, which is a problem since the land that the course is on is so small, making some holes play close to others. None of the baskets are numbered so shooting at a wrong basket is quite possible. Bring a map; if you bring a map than the course is much easier to navigate.

Speaking of baskets, some need a little bit of work. There was a random array of baskets throughout the course and the majority were single chained disasters. Hole 9 baskets hangs from a tree, which I never enjoy gimmick baskets like this especially if it is as free standing and swaying as this one was. There are better ways I've seen hanging baskets done, but it does add a little bit of character to the course. Hole 4 is a silly hole over the water and down a huge 30 foot hill that sits at about 70 degrees. There was not much thought in that hole and a twisted ankle could be a serious issue there.

Blair Witch Project combined with Badlands makes for a great day of golf with plenty of different shots. BWP adds variety and technicality as Badlands adds length. The course is rough but being patient and following a map or a guide can equal a pleasant extra 9 holes.

Forces you to learn new ways to throw and be more creative. Shorter distances and guarded basket locations levels the playing field for all skill levels. My arm couldn't keep up with the group on the badlands, but found some tee box honors on Blair.

We don't need no stinking signs, if your not with someone that knows the course you will struggle to find your way, can't see most of the baskets from tee box, mid summer growth makes it very difficult to find your disc , even if you hit your line you won't see it land and have a hard time finding it.

I am a beginner and find this course to be overwhelming . I played this course with an intermediate player that had experience on this course and par was rare, but lost discs were not. I will try this course again in the fall.....played again with large group and had a blast! More people made spotting discs easier

Great addition to Bad Lands. This course forces accuracy and pulls shots out of you that are rarely used in any other course in the Denver area. Lots of shade for hot days and the heavy trees block the wind.

The boxes. I hate the boxes. Instead of A: leaving them alone, or preferably B: putting in concrete every few months I show up and there are piles of sand on the boxes that make fitting impossible and totally fuck up your game.

Concrete the boxes or leave them as they are.

-Lots of tight, technical shots
-Much shorter than Badlands, which is a great way to finish a round
-Very creative holes and pin placements
-Much, much more fun than Badlands
-Hanging basket on one hole, which I always love

-Extremely easy to lose a disc
-Very difficult to navigate, due to the lack of visibility due to the often thick woods
-Use of a spotter is absolutley neccesarry...don't throw anything but bright discs here!

A fun addition to Badlands, that just has to be played. If you play Badlands, but skip Blair Witch, you're missing out on a great experience. It's the perfect way to end a round.

-Heavily wooded and lots of tunnel shots (which is a nice change from the front course).
-Lots of fun holes with a lot of risk reward (the dense trees will punish you for bad shots).
-Pleasant, wooded area of the park
-Elevation change on several of the holes
-Water comes into play (there's a drainage ditch on several holes and a pond on one of the holes).
-Decent variety of distances (though there is nothing super long on the course).
-Hole 9 has a hanging basket, which is fun and unique
-Picnic tables and benches on some of the holes

-Gravel tee-pads (which can be a little slippery)
-Drainage ditch is full of really nasty smelly water
-No tee-signs and most of the posts with the hole number are faded out and unreadable
-Easy to lose a disc in the heavy brush
-Course gets crowded (especially with a lot of groups of four or more people)
-Not the best part of town (we saw a homeless person in a tent in the trees on hole 6)
-A tad hard to navigate at times (we missed hole 4 at first)
-Baskets are old and rusted
-Other park users can get in the way on a few holes

Great back nine to the front course that provides a lot more challenging and a little more variety than the front 18. This course flows into the other course well and if you are playing the front course make sure you hit these nine holes up.

super challenging
great shade on a hot day
fantastic change of pace
really neat hole challenges

must have a guide to find the tees and baskets
easy to loose disks

follow some one that knows the course
you will love it
very technical course

This is a tough technical back nine that really leaves you questioning your ability to shoot through a 3 foot gap of solid trees. The starting hole alone will give you an idea of what you are in for. As you work around the holes there are some areas that open up, but the older tall trees can still poke out and slap a disc down. The final hole on this 9 is a hanging basket which has to be one of the kewlest setups I have seen. Hole 8 is also a really sweet hole requiring you to blast a drive between a tree that split and grew left to right.

Once again, same as badlands, the signs could use some serious work.

When your out in this close quarter back 9 keep an eye on where others are. Lots of ppl thumb and tomahawk back in here to get the discs over the trees and back into the bush at the hole. It is easy to end up firing near another group without realizing it. FORE is definitely needed back in here.

Luckily, we followed a couple of locals as they veered off the Badlands course at # 12, played Blair Witch 2-9, and then jumped back on to the Badlands course making for a round of 25?, 26? I'm not sure how many Blair Witch holes we played and whether 4 & 5 were there or not. The signage is so old and decrepit and the underbrush so thick, not much sunlight reaches down there, and we had forgotten our torches, so we were basically lost without a map. I do know that are some extremely tight, technical lines there waiting to be hit. Birdies can quickly become bogies and double bogies. There are ACE runs coupled with totally blind throws. We had to walk ahead on many to find a basket tucked into some thicket somewhere.

#1 is a great little ACE run and the hanging basket on # 9 is a great fit on this course. The hanging basket is well done and a course like this is allowed one gimmicky basket.

The baskets are remarkably ugly. They are some kind of domed models but the domes are missing on many leaving kind of an ugly skeleton. I guess they fit the vibe of the course. My playing partner from Michigan called them "ghetto chains." In midday July we saw no evidence of any misquitos and the creek was nearly empty.

This is a very nice contrast to the sprawling big bad Badlands 18. And adding 2-9 to make the aforementioned 26 hole day certainly makes for a full day of discing.

A tight, tight 9 hole technical course adjacent to Badlands DGC hole #12.

Lots of tree love in the woods- dense growth that demands straight controlled precision and severely punishes everything else.

Each hole is memorable and each shot is unique. This course is worth it just for Hole 9s hanging basket.

Wonderfully creative hole placement. Almost none of the baskets are visible from the dirt T-pads and require cunning control from drive to putt.

Seasonality changes this course dramatically. In the winter the fairways open up with dead undergrowth and bare branches. In the summer the trees limit driving lanes and the bushes swallow visibility.

Blair Witch is so technical that it can be immensely frustrating. This is not a course for beginners.

The signage has pretty much disappeared. The T-pads may be marked by smooth dirt and a couple of logs but unless you have a guide, the baskets are buried deep in the overgrowth and can be hard to find. You really are on your own in the woods here.

The creek that winds through the course is polluted and nasty. Trash from Federal Heights is strewn throughout it and stagnant water breeds a pretty hefty mosquito population in the summer. Lots of desiccating trash and foul smelling mud make for an extra penalty on those missed shots.

As of June 2012, Baskets #4 and #5 have been pulled probably because of their proximity to WaterWorld. This is a 7-hole course. (Loss of a half point)

Little upkeep on this course has allowed vegetation to obstruct some of the shot windows. This has made a couple of the holes (like 1 and 7) very narrow.

It's possible to lose a disc here to the dense foliage. Bring a slingshot to get discs out of trees and use a spotter on the obstructed throws. Water isn't a hazard here (although you might not want to use your disc again if it goes in the pools) but brightly colored discs are highly recommended!

WaterWorld and some of the local citizens detract greatly from the ambience of Blair Witch. The picnic benches are a popular hang-out for local teenagers and some shady characters.

Blair Witch feels like a really cool 9-hole course, but it also throws the gauntlet down. If you can come out of the woods even you can brag to your friends. One errant throw and you could be hacking through the shrubbery for the next three shots.

The loss of baskets #4 and #5 (as of June 2012) detract greatly from this course, robbing us of a couple of fun shots and confusing the already convoluted flow of Blair Witch. Unless you know where you're going, the trip from #3 to #6 is a long one...

The aging (and in many place ruined) signage makes finding the baskets very difficult.

And yet the uniqueness of every hole creates a disc golf experience that is quite memorable. I'll never forget the first time I threaded the needle on #2 and dropped my drive into the shady nook by the basket. Or the first time I putted into the hanging basket on #9!

Definitely worth the 1 hour 15 min play-through!

Excellent technical course. The opening hole showcases the difficulty of the course. Tight shots are abundant and force a player to examine each possible line before committing to a shot.

This course is an excellent compliment to Bad lands. The shorter more technical holes really complement the length of Bad lands.

The course is difficult to navigate the first time because the baskets seem to be hidden in the trees. There is minimal water but the trees will keep you busy.

The Blair Witch Project DGC must have been designed by some kind of disc golf madman whose two-sided objective was to torment and simultaneously reward the souls of those who play here. It is a convoluted, back-and-forth maze of underbrush and narrow corridors tucked into a small corner plot of Camenisch Park, next to its renowned neighbor, Badlands DGC. If your specialty is throwing bee-line straight shots with finely tuned landings, this is your jungle paradise! If not, you must be a glutton for pain and mental agony to enjoy this round of 9 holes. The atmosphere is wretched on a hot summer day (buggy, overgrown, swampy), yet the sheer challenge of parring the holes can make you want to keep playing. Playing the full round is 50% annoyance and frustration balanced against 50% fun, tight 'n' tricky disc golf. The bottom line: Blair Witch will make you better or make you bail - one of the two.

Aside from the torture of unavoidable bushwhacking, a few of the holes are designed to momentarily deliver you from the bowels of the deep woods. About three of the fairways are open enough to hook a disc around a tree or two and stay on the grass. The perplexing hole #4 deliberately takes you off the main path to set up your drive right at the shoreline of a still pond whose waters you must throw across, only to arrive in a sponge-like wetland just beyond it. Other times you'll be throwing sidearm flings to squeeze through the gauntlet of gangly branches. If you're reading the decent map from the Links/Files section or you've come with a friend, you'll have an easier time finding your way and scouting for baskets. When you do land a sweet shot, it pays off handsomely. Note: From late fall to early spring, it is much easier to play when the trees are bare.

Blair Witch has its fair share of cons. The PVC pipes that are intended as signage serve no purpose but to display hippie sticker collections and scribbles. There are deep ditches alongside 6 of the 9 fairways that have gathered copious amounts of garbage, cement chunks and mosquito-breeding water. The natural tees can get a bit rutted out by muddy footprints after a rain. As another reviewer mentioned, it's not too flattering to see and hear the back of Waterworld amusement park.

With the seemingly small effort of installing some legible signage and attaching raised flags to the baskets, this course would gain some serious enjoyment factor. As it stands, it is a course appreciated by cult followers and locals who've mastered its trickery.

Forget restrooms, clear signage, basket flags, or general cleanliness. A couple trash barrels and handmade benches pop up here and there as a bit of a surprise.

The upside of this course is that it will challenge the daylights out of your strategic short game. Know what to expect, go in there prepared and shoot straight, or you may quickly find yourself begging for deliverance from the Blair Witch.

-Lots of different challenges
-fun little creeks, with wooden plank bridges
-great placement
-thick woods, with clear narrow opening
-even when other people are around you don't really see them
-picnic tables, trash cans

-lots of trash
-some dead possums in the creek
-tee markers are made from PVC pipe with a marker, all of them have been written on and are faded.

The map on this website is not very good. but it does help a bit.

this might be the funnest course ive played. so many cool shots. ive been dreaming about playing here again.

hole 9 has a fun ending!
