Super fun 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 24, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Convenient, well maintained, easy to navigate, challenging but not punishing. Beautiful city park, with light elevation changes. great use of creek flowing through park.

Cons:

Short holes, all pitch and putt. Always busy.

Other Thoughts:

I play this course multiple times every time I visit Denver. I really appreciate this course because it is convenient (in a beautiful park, very easy to access, quick to play), it is challenging with water and light tree coverage throughout, but is not punishing. If you have a bad throw, you will most likely still have a decent line toward the basket. This course is the busiest one I have ever played. Expect to wait in a line to tee off on most of the holes, but the lines move quickly. This course is perfect for beginners and families, as all holes are around 250' or less. I recommend the Johnny Roberts challenge: just use 2 putters to play the entire course. I am still able to birdie most of the holes using only my putters, but it has been great practice in refining my upshots, accuracy and putting abilities. I wish every city had a disc golf course this nice. Anyone who visits this course will see that there is a huge need for more beginner/family friendly 18 hole courses. I bet this course introduces more people to disc golf than any other course in the world. Of the 365+ courses I have played, Johnny Roberts is by far my favorite course to revisit.

cement tee pads
sign on every hole
easy to find the next tee pad
some are technical
most are wide open and short

the farthest hole is 275
there are no problems with the course
great beginner course

new to the game but hard to think it gets better than this 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 17, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

immaculately maintained course
short holes great for new players
water obstacles that aren't hard to retrieve your discs out of
bathroom on site

Cons:

some bicyclists unclear of where the bike path is makes errant throws dangerous
close together small holes make errant throws dangerous
water might be too much for those not willing to take off their socks and shoes for their disc

Other Thoughts:

course seemed to be populated with extremely friendly and helpful locals. heard it can be very busy but didn't run into that issue.

edit: people are annoyed by the five star review, since apparently this isn't a very 'serious' course. i'm not a very serious player, as stated. I think this is an excellent course in the ways I described above. is there a different disc golf site I should look to for information where people won't be offended when a new person gives their input?
