Closed for 2015 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 1, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Powderhorn looks like a great course (probably way over my head) and the map on this website is good.

Cons:

We took a trip to Powderhorn since it is less than an hour from home and it has been so hot that a mountain course sounded cool. Unfortunately there are no tees or baskets to be found there. A call to the resort confirmed that it is indeed closed for 2015. They claim that they will be in operation next summer with new mountain bike and hiking trails and lift(s) operating and the disc golf course open with fairways mowed. We'll try again next summer!

Other Thoughts:

Give them a call to express your interest in playing disc golf or biking or hiking or staying there. The new owners need some input to open their lands to summer recreation.

powder horn disc golf course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 27, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very fun course, especially for the western slope. Completely different from all the other courses around grand junction. It is an 18 hole course the first 9 holes are all going either up the mountain or along the side the mountain. Holes seem short distance since you are throwing up hill, but each hole is pretty good distance. Baskets are in good shape, well numbered, tee pads are just dirt, but work well.

Cons:

Grass and brush was really long, so wear pants and tennis shoes. No signage for where the first hole starts. Number one starts behind the main building of the resort. Follow the road till it dead ends and park south of the building. Walk around and there is a navy/red sign in the middle run that has maps in a box on the backside of it. Make sure to watch where your disc lands it can be easy to lose them in the tall grass and small woods areas.

Other Thoughts:

Favorite hole was #12 only hole that you get to throw down the mountain. Also the longest hole on the course. Make sure to get a map course can be hard to navigate. Tee pads are located with a ski pole sticking out of the ground. Really enjoyed playing the course, everyone should play this course.

Excellent for Summer 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 5, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice to escape the heat of the valley. Nice setting at the local ski resort. Great challenge for any golfer. Saw mule deer at several different holes. Other wildlife also nice views of mesa valley. Nice job GVDG!!

Cons:

Heavily wooded areas on many holes. Take your older plastic.

Other Thoughts:

Great way to spend a day in the summer. Newer baskets and very well laid out. Good hike when playing 18 holes. Wear your hikers and maybe pants to retrive errant discs.
