-18 holes with quality baskets.
-Close to Badlands for a full day experience
-Not difficult to find or get to, unless you would be trying to get there during rush hour traffic.
-Some very well thought out holes

Cons:
-Soooo much thistle. It might as well be water in some areas, because if you disc goes in it, it's probably just going to hang there.
-Very difficult to navigate. Several people in my group were upset about how much back tracking we had to do, and the long walks inbetween some holes only amplified that.
-Not all teeboxes are marked. This was very frustrating on 2 and 11.

Other Thoughts:
-I don't live in Denver, so anytime I drive down I want to make it worth my while, and if I had only come and played this course, and not Badlands too, I would have been disappointed I wasted the gas.

Played the course:once
Pros:
-Decent variety of shots, but only one true right-finishing hole (hole 16)
Lots of trees, water and other natural obstacles to provide some added challenge. OB, at this time, is still clearly marked with orange paint which helps
-Navigation is very smooth; much better than the old Blair Witch
-Perfect blend of old Blair Witch holes, modified Blair Witch holes, classic temp course holes and all-new holes
-Good use of mandos add to both safety and challenge

Cons:
-Open for play, but far from complete. Dirt or grass teepads. 2 holes (13 and 15) still use the homemade, non-catching Blair Witch baskets. Tee sign distances are all off due to the baskets not being in their final positions.
-Hole 13 tees off right next to an extremely busy road. No barrier there so it is LOUD. Doesn't bother me, but for the neurotic disc golfer this could be hell.
-Holes 10-15 are in the most wide open area, yet somehow have the most criss-crossing fairways. It's not dangerous per se' but it could be if it is crowded.
-BUGS! Even in mid-October the gnats were outrageous. Make sure you bring good, strong bug spray and long socks.

Other Thoughts:
This course is a great addition to the original Badlands. Adding an entire 18 hole course from the remnants of the old 9-hole Blair Witch is a stroke of genius. Many of the holes here have been used in the past for temp courses for tournaments like the 303 Open/Championships, Denver Classic and the One Day Series. This keeps it familiar for the core group of tourney players.
This is a fairly short course compared to Badlands. There's not a single hole over 375 (despite what the teesigns say) and there are three in the 200-225 range. However, it's not quite short enough to be used as a warm-up for Badlands. I'd use it more for a cool down. Either way, it makes a great set of 36 holes.
Great job to all the designers and volunteers who made this happen. Hopefully by Spring 2016 all baskets will be in their final postions, with the two Blair Witch baskets gone.
