Loved it. Wacky design. Poles not baskets. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 13, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ very creative use of a bathtub shaped ravine (with a concrete loop)
+ Elevation in play on several holes
+ Nice variation in hole lengths
+ port-o-john
+ flow is pretty good (not a lot of back tracking or long walks between holes)
+ map isn't necessary. Tees are usually within 50 feet of pins. Signs on back on pins are usually accurate (e.g., "next tee 30 feet -->") (get used to looking for little spray painted numbers on the concrete)
+ Generally, did not put surrounding houses in jeopardy (except maybe #10)
+ pretty difficult to lose a disc (manicured grass and low brush)

Cons:

- Some steep slopes to walk up and down (no stairs).
- crossing fairways would be dangerous if multiple groups were playing
- SAFETY: some shots from the bottom of the ravine to the top can be blind to the pedestrian loop.
- poles instead of baskets. I thought this was a blast but not conventional.
- no water fountain
- mostly open shots

Other Thoughts:

Very creative, inexpensively installed disc golf course.
* Used existing concrete for many tee pads.
* Used poles instead of baskets were fun and saved lots of $$
* Put a "useless" ravine to good use.

I wouldn't drive very far to play it but if you live on the western side of Denver/Lakewood, it's a fun quick play.

Did I mention I loved throwing at simple poles for a change?

I played in July, sunny and 90 degrees. No shade. Would have liked some water on site.
