Village Greens park is home to a nice, beginner friendly 18 hole course. The section of the park the course is on features a couple slight undulations in elevation throughout. The course is essentially wide open with a few small trees scattered about. Holes 14 and 15 play over the wooded area along the creek that runs through the course.

The tee pads are nice and level concrete ones. These aren't the biggest ones you'll ever see but they're plenty long enough for a course like this. No complaints with these. One tee per hole.

The tee signs are well done here. These are mounted on big wood posts about 3' high. The signs themselves feature a pretty simple but effective course map, hole #, par and distance. Very basic but it's all the info needed out here. There's a next tee arrow on each sign too which is probably the most useful aspect of these.

The course features a few par 4's. These are on the shorter side but do add a little more length in a couple spots.

The flow from hole to hole is pretty simple, even if you forget to check the tee sign. Probably obvious to figure out. It helps that there's no long walks between holes too.

There's pretty much zero chance you'll lose a disc out here. By the creek is about the only place, and even then it'd be hard to do.

There's a number of garbage cans throughout the course and most of the holes had logs behind the tees serving as benches. The course was surprisingly clean as well. Permanent and free to play.

The baskets are on the older side. They're also Mach's so they don't catch very well. Or not as good as most newer models on the market.

There's nothing in the way on almost every hole. On top of that the distances are all pretty similar. Very repetitive feeling course by the time you get to hole 5 or 6. And you know it's not going to get much better since you can literally see the entire course from most of the holes.

The biggest con here is the poor design as far as the proximity of the tees to the prior basket. Way too close in many spots. I guarantee people get hit with errant drives out here. There's two mandos out here to combat this but that does nothing about what I listed above.

Very busy course during peak hours at least. There had to be a group or person on at least 12 of the 18 holes today. Best to play during non peak hours if you want to get a quick round in. Judging by the pictures I figured it'd take us 45 minutes or so to play after flying into town. Nope, over an hour and a half, most of which was just waiting on backup after backup.

Nice place for beginners but not much for replay value if you're more experienced. It's clearly pretty popular though, so what do I know. Worth a play if you're nearby I guess.

-Easy course to navigate.
-Convenient location in Denver.
-Variety of shot shapes.
-Very accessible for beginners.

-Very few trees or other obstacles, so mandos are used to avoid every shot being a hyzer.
-Lots of gnats and mosquitos once the sun started going down.
-Probably too easy for advanced players. Quite a few of the holes are just throwing 300' on the correct line and trying to avoid a roll. Most of the challenge comes from sticking the greens which can be precarious in spots.

I came here in July, and I was told that they recently got a lot of rain that made the plants grow in much thicker than normal. This made it a little more challenging to find errant discs, but it also made the whole place bloom at the same time. It was very pretty to look at all the flowers and birds in the scenery when I played, but the course is probably much more barren on a typical day.

It's not a bad course overall, and I would definitely play it again if I lived in the area.

Really fun course, lots of variety in types of throws, and very difficult to lose a disc. I really enjoyed playing here.

Very crowded, and I assume that is par for the course for weekends and holidays

I like courses like this where I feel the designers were thoughtful with land use, and included mandos that make you throw flick / anhyzer.

Wide shot selection needed to play the course. Easy to play, great for beginners or practice rounds. Good tee signs and wind flags. Mados are well marked.

Small, crowded, easy to get hit by a disc on tee pads.

be careful in the wind, discs will come in in you and it\'s hard to hear people if they call four.

- Well laid out course IMHO.
- Decent player spacing.
- Good use of elevation.
- A good length for challenging beginners and advanced players alike.
- Friendly players and understanding of a threesome worth a7 year old player on his second round of disc.

- A Monday during an extended holiday weekend may not be the best time to try the course for the first round.
- Keep an eye on your disc after some throws. The grass and scrub bushes like to hide your disc.
- I spittle have read that there was group play going on before we got there.

This is a fun course and I am really excited to play all 18 holes. I think it was really cool how supportive the other players were of my son playing even though he was super slow. Wicked excited to have an amazing course like this to play close to home.

My Three pros:

- Very beginner friendly course with no water or heavily wooded holes to lose discs. Most holes are in the ~300' range with three longer holes ~400' spread through the 18. Several holes, especially the 3 longer holes are marked as par 4 on the new tee signs, so the 'official' pars are set for beginner level play, although most folks play the course as all par 3's and par 54 total. Most holes are very open, typical for the Denver area course, and only bring a few trees or shrubs into play on several holes. Due to the openness it possible to play most of course however you like - backhand/forehand/hyzer/straight etc. with only a few holes that actually force a certain line. The front & back 9 holes are in loops that allow players to jump in hole 1 or 10 depending on the backup at 1; though its a bit far to try to get back to the car and back between the front and back 9.

-The park has gone though allot of effort in the last couple years to improve the course and surrounding park. Now course has new tee signs, new trashcans at most holes, and most recently they have added mulch at most of the greens and nice mud-scraper metal grates at every hole to remove mud before throwing. They also recently built a nice bathroom at the course entry and pavillion area that people use to queue up before leagues and such. The course already had and still has nice, large concrete tees and quality baskets and practice basket. The navigation is a breeze for the most part but there is a nice course map posted at the course entry as well. This course is nestled at the back of a big park so there is a large parking lot that only fills when there are games going on at the nearby fields.

- The course holes are unique enough to give an enjoyable round despite the easier holes. If theres only short time available to play, the front or back nine can be played quickly (if its not too busy) and still get a quality 9 holes in, I do this frequently on my lunch break in about 30 minutes. The long holes are long enough that 2's on those are well earned and several holes are within ace-able distance to make the shorter holes engaging as well. Despite being in the plains rather than the mountains there are several holes that use minor elevation change to add challenge as well.

My Three Cons:

- The course is a little too open and easy, which makes for a pro when you want to practice but a con if looking for a challenge. The biggest challenge here is the very frequent wind, especially in the spring months. Other parts of town can seem totally still and it still be whipping wind at the course somehow. There are few holes with mandos (for safety) and the three long holes, otherwise most players are looking to reach and score on most of the holes.

- The course is beginner friendly and therefor can be very busy on weekends and nice afternoons. Furthermore, they hold league matches at the course twice a week in nice weather months, come early or plan to go slow and keep an eye out for errant discs. With several holes squished together in places it is imperative to watch out for others throwing at you or risk getting hit.

-The course gets very muddy after snow melts or heavy rains and can be pretty tough to play in. Due to the high traffic there is not much grass, and due to the low grass there is high amounts of mud when it gets wet. The new mudscrapers should help with this issue.

This has been my home course for the last couple years and really is a fine 3-star typical park course. My favorite thing to do here is decide from the getgo on hole 1 am I: playing for low score? all backhand? all forehand? alternating backahnd & forhand? putter only? maybe I'll just try out this new disc. The course is open enough that it can be attacked any way and allows for some fun creative rounds that would just be punishing on a tougher/tighter course.

Other notes: You can see the mountains in the distance from the course if thats an important thing for traveling players, I found it nice my first time. The grass can get very high and that is main cause of disc loss here, keep an eye on those discs. There is a state park across the road with a nice lake and dog park, among other attractions. The Village greens park itself has nice beginner mountain bike trails and connects to the cherry creek bike trail that runs up and through denver - if its a nice day you will see cyclists galore. Luckily those trails are mostly all kept far enough from the course that they dont get in the way.

RIP to the really cool sandstone cairn tee markers that had each holemap engraved into the stones at each hole so they could be replaced with cheesy, but far more noticeable, teesigns that hardly depict the actual hole to be played. Wish they brought the cairns back. Oh well, come play!

+ Wide open; good place to practice new discs and shots
+ Good park amenities; bathrooms, resting places, etc..
+ Nice concrete tee pads
+ Baskets in good condition
+ Nice variation in elevation on some holes

- Some holes have little to no obstacles
- Some of the stone engravings for the hole number and distance are damaged
- A couple holes play literally right next to each other and stray shots can come flying very close to you

All around a fun course, I actually found it more difficult to come up with a list of cons then pros. The course can get pretty muddy from snow melt or rain but I didn't think that was fair to put as a con since that's the nature of playing a course in a natural grass area rather than a manicured lawn. Definitely a course I will be adding to my normal rotation this year.

Extremely fun course. Very few large trees and no wooded areas or stand of trees. I've been loving this type of course lately to focus on dialing in new shots and new discs, great way to improve your game rather than chopping trees all day. Just enough shots over 400 feet and a few creative basket placements makes this course fun and playful. The designers did an excellent job of taking a fairly boring landscape and turning it into a fun course. Hanging out with the prairie (sp?) dogs pretty entertaining as well.

Navigation is a little difficult. It took me a full round to figure out where I was going. You can see all the tee boxes and pins easily, but figuring out which one you walk to next is challenging. There are some creatively built stones with engraved information at each tee box, but if you don't know to look for it you'll miss it. Small signage should be placed at each tee, especially now that the rock engravings are wearing away.

I played my first round at 9am, by the time I was starting my second round at 10:45 the wind was beginning to come up. I imagine the wind comes up early and blows hard on this course, as it is open and fully exposed to the surrounding plains and large reservoir right next to the course.

This course is extremely fun, think of a more challenging version of Johnny Roberts with longer holes and a more deserty vibe. Beautifully maintained grass sports fields are all right there, allowing you great place to warm up and let some drives fly.

Village Green is a super clean and well laid out course. I enjoy playing this course every time I am there. a few long holes and some fairly technical shots. The course has bathrooms, well kept up most the year. Tee boxes, signs and even scrapers to keep your shoes dry.

When the wind blows there, very tough to play. Because the course is mostly dirt, after rain it can be really muddy.

The course is a definite challenge for newer players, a good run for more experienced. Mile High Disc Golf Club holds Sunday tags matches there as well..

- 18 Metal Baskets in good repair with a level mount.
- Nice level concrete tees on every hole.
- Nice practice basket and course map at the entrance.
- Decent use of the available elevation.
- Most holes are very beginner or casual friendly. If that's what you're looking for, this course is a solid choice.
- Layout is pretty easy to follow.
- Flags on the top of the few baskets that are not visible from the tee.
- Nice little metal bars with nubs by the tee boxes that are(I assume) for scraping mud off your shoes.
- Seems to be pretty well maintained. Wood chips around all the baskets which is nice since a lot of the course and greens are hard pan dirt. Didn't really see any trash to speak of.
- Depending on skill level, there are a lot of ace runs out there.
- Free to play.

- Pretty blah golf. Most of the trees are 8-10' tall so there really is almost no line shaping or precision required. I've played some "lynx style" courses before and generally, unless there's a bunch of elevation in play or a lot of man made OB or both, they just don't present much challenge. From the spray paint lines I saw on a number of holes, I'd guess artificial OB is how local leagues and tourneys spice this course up.
- With the land the course is on, a number of holes feel pretty repetitive. Lots of 220' to 320' range. Slight uphill, slight downhill. The others that don't fit in that range are are couple 350'ish and a couple 450'ish holes. Really not a lot of variety is possible with the land being used. Only 2 holes stuck out as unique/fun on the course, for me. #'s 15 & 16 which play over a little row of bushes that line the small creek and then back across the other direction.
- Some of the tee pads seem to point on what should be the preferred line, except, as I mentioned earlier, the very short trees don't really force a line. This basically leaves the golfer lining up the tee diagonally. Perhaps they're set in this manner to account for 10+ years of future tree growth. Not sure, but I wasn't a huge fan of those tees.
- Prairie dogs. These cute little terrorists leave ankle breaking holes like land mines. Fortunately they have not infested the entire or even the majority of the course. Hopefully they stay to the small area they're in and don't make a push for a hostile takeover. Keep your eyes open if you start to see them and watch your step.

This is a decent town course for the casual to intermediate player. For more experienced players, or those who like a test of skills, this will not offer challenge or variety beyond a "birdie or die" type round and the few bomber holes. All the right things have been added to the course as far as infrastructure. The tees and baskets are perfectly playable but the land is just really lackluster. With the small trees there's almost no shade out there so be prepared if you're playing in the heat. Lots of prairie grass but it wasn't out of control when I was there. Either enough use and/or some maintenance has kept it mostly in check. Could definitely see wanting gators if the grass was thick to avoid throwing away socks afterwards. There is an outhouse centrally located on the course, along the side of what appears to be a park maintenance building. I didn't list it in Cons as I have nothing but personal experience to draw on but a number of the hole distances seemed more than a bit off. I can't step up to a course cold, saw off a forehand n00b hyzer, and come up 40' short on a 410' hole(#1). After a few holes, I stopped relying heavily on the hole distances like I normally would at a new course. When I played, it was rated around a 3.1 and while not too far off of my rating opinion I think I set my expectations a little high. Overall, a very serviceable course but nothing to get excited about and I will not play it again on my returns trips to the area.

Wide open course that is easy to find your disc everywhere except #14

Easy course and shots

Trashcans

Bathroom

Easy to navigate (if you read the course layout before starting.

Practice basket as well as big fields for warm ups

Some tree benches

Minor elevation changes.

Not much obstructions to test shots

Crowded

Weekend parking can get slim (other events like soccer and baseball)

Perfect for beginners to learn the game and build their skills

There are only four par 4's here and one of them is hole 1

I like this course to try out new discs and forehands.

Being from indiana, I wasn't sure what to expect from Colorado disc golf. Would I puke from the elevation sickness? Could I throw 45% further because of the thin air? Would I just get really stoned on all of the second hand, legal weed? I am glad I got to answer all of those questions.

baskets - seem new. Maybe they aren't, but every basket on the course was in great condition and didn't show any signs of wear and/or tear. The practice basket was also in pristine shape. So I am assuming this course has not been in for a super long time. If it has, I am happy to be wrong about that.

layout - a blind man could find his way around this course. it follows a very natural layout and it makes sense without having to memorize a map. It also does a good job of following the natural terrain in the area and making good use of that.

signs - super neat, very unique signs that are made into the rock of the hole marker. There's a little map on each hole, with the hole number and distance right there. I enjoyed that these were clearly local materials and using them made it feel more like we were out in the desert a little bit.

shots - a decent variety of shots out there. I like that the elevation changes were used to make you consider a couple of alternatives from time to time. The hard pan floor was also something different for me, and I had to learn how to shape my shots a little differently so the discs would skip a mile away. I also like the use of the swampy area on 16 to make a super unique shot.

fun factor - I got to see real life Prairie Dogs, in person. On the course! So I am going to fan girl out and tell you how much fun that was . It was also throwing a midrange a mile, off of the hole hill on the front . Very neat little shot.

As much as this course could be, there just isn't a lot chances to create a ton of interesting shots. It's pretty wide open out on this course, and it does feel a little repetitive on a couple of holes.

While I loved the idea of the signs, I would have liked them to be a little easier to read. There were a couple of signs that were tough to read because of the size of the font, and the dust that had covered them.

It was pretty massively crowded on the day we played. I can see how this might be an issue.

There are some layout issues. a couple of the holes are way too close to one another, and a disc came into my fairway with little to no warning.

This is a good course. Not great.
With some different pin positions, or a pro pin, or some creative use of artificial elevation, this place could be pretty neat. As it stands, most of the holes are wide open, straight ahead shots that depend solely on an elevation change for the challenge.

And while the signs are unique, they aren't always good.

Really enjoyed the hole variety
Easy to follow, good tee boxes and holes
Easy to access from the parking lot

Very crowded during weekday
Thick vegetation made losing discs a high possibility

Fun course to play right by Cherry Creek

Course is easy to find and easy to navigate. There is a path from each basket leading to the next hole. Each hole has the distance carved into a rock and many holes have logs to sit while waiting, along with trash cans. There is also a bathroom located in the middle of the course.

Great course to bring beginners to as they won't lose their discs and offers some shorter holes to keep them interested, yet is long enough to offer challenges to more seasoned players.

Holes of varying length including three holes that are long enough to make them very tough birdies, but even the short holes are not gimmies due to elevation change, hillsides, or a well placed bush/tree.

Wide open with very few obstacles. Though there are trees on most holes, they offer little in the way of a challenge as they are too young and small to affect shot selection much. The main tree of hole 9 was taken out even though it was the second largest tree on the course and one of the few that made you shape your shot on the entire course.

Course is frequently very windy and can be extremely muddy at times. Suggest you avoid this course for a couple days after any storm, or during snow melt.

There are mando's on 3 holes that are very poorly marked, if at all that only the locals know to play. There are also a couple area's where people playing other holes are in danger of being hit (primarily people putting on hole #9 are in danger from people teeing off on hole #1, and #17's tee pad is located in a common "bail out" area for hole #16).

Course can get pretty crowded due to it's appeal to both beginners and seasoned players.

VG is a fun semi-challenging course that I hope to see improvements on in the future. Hopefully in 10-20 years all these young trees will mature and create a real challenge

Agh, where do I start? This course is just so awesome. My dad and I started disc golf about three years ago. We could hardly throw it fifty feet, and our technique was horrible. Well, whether you're extremely good, or just a beginner, this course is for you. An average round for my dad and me is about 55 +/- minutes. Very decent time, which is appealing to many players. We sometimes will go for two, which of course falls close to two hours - still not too bad. The terrain has a wonderful variation as the years advance. Spring brings tall, green, luscious, disc eating (if you aren't careful, of course) grass (some players like to wear pants and say it's annoying, but I don't particularly mind), some of which has sticker-seeds which get stuck in your socks, but don't damper the round in any way. Summer brings a lot of the same stuff, but they MOW THE GRASS in July!!!!!! Fall, very open, easy course. Leaves are falling off the trees, which 1, allows your disc to skip a bit better due to a smoother terrain, and 2, it opens up throwing routes that weren't possible during the Spring and Summer. The Winter (one of my favorite times to play!!!) is much the same as the fall, so long as there isn't snow. Keep in mind: this is still Colorado. Which means the weather can change in just a few minutes. Anyways, that's all I have for pros, but first lemme sum it all up:
1. Great for all levels of play
2. Decent time commitment
3. Huge variation of terrain between seasons

And now for the cons: The only thing I would say to the staff of this course is this: Please mow the course earlier in the year, maybe twice a year even. By mid June, this course is very hairy and needing attention. Later August, it would be good to mow again. All the grass is fine besides the fact that if you aren't careful and watch your disc all the way to the ground, it can really bury itself down in the taller grass where you can't see it unless you walk right to it and move the grass aside. Some of the other grass has something I think are called 'sticker-seeds', which are exactly what they sound like. You walk through them, they stick themselves into your socks or whatever, and tickle/scratch your ankles until you stop and pull them out. Not much to say for cons as this is an awesome course, but lemme sum it all up:
1. Tall grass makes it easy to lose your disc
2. Only mowed once a year
3. Relentless 'sticker-seeds'

So, in conclusion, if you're looking for a course suitable for all levels of play so you can take your wife, girlfriend, or young kids out for some time doing what you love, if you're looking for a somewhat easy course to start with, or even if you're simply passing through Colorado and wanting to take a rest stop and play some disc golf, THIS IS THE COURSE FOR YOU!! That's all there is to say. My dad and I play this course 5 +/- times a week, and totally love it. I am now able to throw it almost to the longest hole on the course (461 +/- feet) and my dad is biting at my heels. If it weren't for this course, we would never have started, and IT is what got us to the level of play we're at today.
Thank you Village Greens.

-Course plays in a giant open field in its own area of a nice, clean multi-use park. Great location, nice and close to downtown.
-Nice and easy, hardly any trees. Water on only a few holes.
-Great course to try out new discs
-Nice DGA baskets
-Easy navigation
-Gentle elevation change

-May be too open. You can throw your favorite type of shot on almost every hole.
-Can get VERY windy. No trees = no windbreaks = hard to putt When I played it was gusting. I didn't make ANYTHING. :-( That didn't help the self-esteem.
-Wear pants. Knee-high grass gets very annoying.

-Keep an eye on your disc. This course is open as hell. Everything looks the same and its easy to forget where you threw it. The land is nice and slightly hilly, but the course would be so much better if some trees were planted.
-I was able to get out for a round here on vacation. It was a super windy day and I made only one putt outside 15 ft. GRRR.
-Next time I'm in Denver, I will try to find a course with at least a few trees

- Nice elevation change on the front 9
- Distance can change drastically between holes
- Trees and tall grass are used as good obstacles

-tall grass and weeds makes it hard to find a disc
- LOTS of bugs in the morning; remember to bring bug spray and wear pants

I don't live in Colorado but if I did I might play this course again if I had some bug spray.

Convenient location - short walk from Dayton station (lightrail) easily accessible by highway
Friendly regulars - I've played this course a lot! Nearly ever day, I leave 90 minutes early for work and always get a game in. I have never run into a dg snob or any other unfriendly person. I've played it busy, and lightly played.

WEEEEEEDDDDSSSSSSSS - While it is kept up with as best as I'm sure is feasible. The tall grass and weeds can definitely eat your disc(s).
Fairly simple - while I am no expert, this course doesn't have any really good elevation changes or water hazards or trees or rocks or... You get my point...

Great, fun course. It can get hot in direct sunlight though. Definitely bring your sunscreen.

Actually has some elevation, and vegetation to make things a bit more interesting. Course will be much better in years to come when some of the trees have actually grown in. Not a very difficult course, but always very fun and enjoyable to play.

Concrete tee pads are somewhat small. Not a huge issue because most of the holes are relatively short, but it would be nice to have a full size pad on the few long holes. There are some very nice sculptures on each hole that are intended to show the distance and layout of the hole. Unfortunately, they have not weathered well and are very difficult to read. I'm sure at one point in time they were awesome, but now they just look like extra rocks pilled up next to the tee pad. Hopefully they will be restored or replaced so people can actually read them.

This is one of the better courses around the Denver Metro Area (This isn't saying a lot considering how bad some of the other courses are, but it is still better than nothing). All and all a very fun and enjoyable course.

-It's conveniently located and easy to find the first tee.
-There is a wide range of lengths of the holes.
-There are a few good obstacles. The trees have grown a lot and there are a lot of good hills.
-Great tee pads.
-It's easy to navigate the tees and pins due to the fairways.

-There are sooo much weeds in the summer. When I went last with my dad and a friend we spent 10 minutes searching for all of our discs after our first throw on the first hole in at least knee-high weeds, getting stickers all over our shoes that poked into our socks. We also were slowed down by other people looking for their discs. I am not sure if they mowed it since then but if you go to this course and see 2ft.-high weeds on the left and right of the fairway on the first hole, just leave, because without someone to spot your throws and where they land, your almost bound to lose a disc.

But if everything is mowed when you go, you'll have a lot of fun!
In the colder months, all of the plants are dead and not overgrown, and when I went there about a year-and-a-half ago, my dad and I had a blast. I think this course is probably the best in the metro area east of the I-225...when most of the weeds are gone.
