What to Expect: Beautiful views from this course set inside the San Juan mountain region. This valley course is basically a flat meadow surrounded by glorious views. There were more deer on the course than people within 50 miles probably.

Amenities: There is a small gravel parking lot, a single port o john, a nice and newer looking playground and not much else. There is a sign saying no parking overnight or camping so you won't be able to use this as a stopping point on your trip.

Tees/Signage/Baskets: Tees were earthen, basically a rectangle of removed grass/sod. It hadn't rained in quite some time so there was no issues with footing. Good signage, course Map Kiosk is a little deceiving as it shows way more trees than you actually encounter on the course. Tee signs are pretty nice, as they have all relevant information and a hole map. Baskets were Discatchers in good shape and caught fine. No practice Basket.

Design: If you are looking for a flat open field to work on your game with baskets as targets, this course is great for that. Hole distances vary from 200-400 feet and there is very little, if any, obstacles or trees to impede your throws. The only elevation change you will encounter is on Holes #7 and #8 where you play basically through a drainage gully. Due to lack of OB, water hazards, or really any thing close to a forced line or shot shape, any skill level could play this course (though I'm guessing most don't).

Meadow: This course is honestly not much more than a flat practice area with baskets thrown it at varying distances. If you are looking for variety or shot shaping of any kind you will not find it here. The views of the surrounding mountains are wonderful but it's almost disheartening as you play this course and see all the potential spots a course would have been much better to have been placed.

Tee Pads: There are none. It's an earthen rectangle, which does the job, but I can see it being an issue in snowy or muddy events.

9 Holes: This course is only 9 holes and the property is not very big. I can't imagine having to play 18 of the same hole over and over again though with the only change being distance.

No overnight parking or camping: This is just a minor con, but we had planned on pushing hard to get to this course, play it, and stop off for the night on our trip back across the country. It was getting dark as we were finishing up and we had to keep driving through sparsely populated mountains looking for a place to park or camp for the night.

Blandness: This course was so bland and repetitive that we almost quit without finishing multiple times. Course does not appear to see much play as even the earthen tee pads didn't show signs of foot traffic.

We chose to try this course out because of where we were on our trip and because of the looming setting sun. We didn't expect to be able to get in a full 18 in Pagosa Springs before dark. After stopping here and playing the course, we were thoroughly unimpressed and it felt like a waste of time. Not really the designers fault as they had nothing to work with on the property, but this is certainly a course I would skip even if I lived next door to it unless I simply wanted to dial in distances and work on form in an open non-threatening field.

- good quality tee signs
- good quality baskets
- good range of distances ranging from 200' to 400'

- no designated tee pads
- almost every hole is just a wide open throw to an open flat green, gets very boring

Boring course, save your energy for the courses in Pagosa.

If you've ever imagined a course placed in a large, open meadow, this is it. Most of the holes are straight drives to the basket with no obstructions or elevation difference. Holes 7 & 8 use elevation changes around a small drainage gully to add interest.

Signage is good and the baskets are in good shape as well, with the exception of a couple of broken chains. Teepads are simple rectangles where the sod has been removed.

No real variety on the course, with the exception of distance changes from hole-to-hole.

If you've played the heavily wooded Reservoir Hill course in Pagosa Springs, this one is the exact opposite. A great place to work on drives, but no opportunities for challenging approaches or shaping shots.

Only 2 interesting holes out of the 9, they use elevation and a dry creek. Not really any trees in play on this course. The holes do have a good mix of distances. This isn't the ideal spot for disc golf. Adding to the frustration, the course is set in an open valley in the San Juan Forests in a mountainous region. You get great views all around you of land with huge potential for a world class course. The area of holes 7 & 8 has some steep areas making them unplayable in snow or mud and makes it impossible to take a toddler or a stroller for a round here.
