Overgrown 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 5, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

It is in a good place, should have some good elevation changes. Relatively quiet. No crowds to contend with.

Cons:

Everything was overgrown. There were weeds and a giant sunflower growing through the the pin on hole 1. The tee box on hole 2 was also full of overgrown weeds.

Other Thoughts:

The weed situation was so bad we only played hole one. I could not imagine the other holes being any better. I will check back and try again after it is mowed.

Reviewed: Played on:May 29, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

The course map is very good with the elevation changes. The signage for each hole is very good and easy to traverse the course. Hole 8 has a + 60 up shot and hole 9 has a -120 shot to a 525 feet basket. Great views with a good exercise track - play 27 holes and your calves will be barking.

Cons:

No trees and the course needs steps on the very step up and down slopes

Other Thoughts:

Wear sturdy shoes to ward off the foot pokers--

Tell me this isn't a government operation... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 13, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Shockingly long distance for how short the property is

-Good use of elevation changes

-MWR staff (MWR is across the road from the course) is very knowledgeable about disc golf, very helpful with directions on the course, and have discs for rent

-Baskets, which formerly belonged to the much-maligned Turkey Creek course, are in great shape

-Easy to see from three of the main roads on post

Cons:

-Bunk teepads. Don't even use 'em, just tee from the side

-Way to close to a major road. Said road has a speed limit of 30 mph and it's not uncommon for motorists to go well over the speed limit. Huge danger issue there.

-Limited access with limited use times. Would be hard for non-military folks to understand the schedule.

-No signage at all. The course map isn't all that helpful if you aren't familiar with the area (I am, luckily)

Other Thoughts:

I'm stationed on Fort Carson, but I still don't play this course very much. It's actually a pretty fun course once you figure out where to go, but the lack of signage and vague course map would really confuse a newcomer. Since Ft. Carson has just changed their access policies, the actual chances of someone not familiar with Commo Hill (the hill on which the course is situated) are pretty slim so it's not that big of an issue.

This course is still very much a work in progress. Several years ago, myself and two other Soldiers drew up a plan for a full 18 around the park when word of Turkey Creek's closing. It was eventually rejected and, as I understand it, the MWR staff fought a long, hard, red tape battle to get a course on the base anyways. Huge kudos to them, because, being a government employee, I fully understand how hard it must have been to get a course on post.

This is not an entry-level course at all, it's actually pretty challenging for a nine-holer. It's very much a "locals" course, where you pretty much have to be with someone who has played the course to figure it out (the basket numbering is a little off as well.)

A work in progress, this course could end up being great for us Soldiers. I'll try and revise this review in a year or so when this course really hits it's stride.
