Deserving of an updated review 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 15, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Concrete tees
- Quality baskets
- Informative Tee signs
- Very cart friendly
- 2 pin locations per hole
- Man-made obstacles have been added
- Seasonal restrooms onsite (locked in winter)
- Well cared for
- Dark paths (fairways?) lead to each pin location

Cons:

- Rattlesnakes
- Uninspiring play
- Could be brutally hot in summer with no shade
- Mostly dirt = mostly mud after a rain or snow
- Open spaces along the Front Range tend to be windy
- Flat and short

Other Thoughts:

Civic Center DGC plays in a flat, mostly dirt field with man-made obstacles (large vertical poles) serving as the only challenge to the basket.

Concrete Tees here are a great touch.

I've been all over Colorado and I've never seen so many rattlesnake signs in one area. Just saying.

I'm writing this review since the others here are very outdated, and this course is being misrepresented. One common complaint has been addressed...there are now large pole obstacles in place, but the field is so large, there still isn't much to challenge the player.

I do wish I had updated the pictures though. This place looked much better today, and one thing that stood out was how well cared for this dry, dusty field was. There is a wide, dark path that leads from each Tee to each pin location. I've never seen this done before, to this extent, just to make a boring field play better? Or maybe...

...The paths are about 10'-12' wide. Not really a fairway, but for a challenge, this course can be played with everything but the dark ground as OB. Add a few Mandos with the new poles, and you can have a challenging round.

If you plan to bag all of Pueblo, I'd start here first as a warmup. Play the College next and save the City Park for last.

This is a plain but very passable course. Worth the detour? Probably not unless you're a bagger. But if you are a bagger, this place is too close to City Park to pass up.

The care given to this place showed, and it's the reason I felt a need to review this place. Kudos to the crew for putting forth the effort, and thanks for a memorable round.

Say What? Say Where? Say Why? 2+ years

Pros:

-Concrete pads and baskets in good shape
-EZ Parking for quick rounds
-EZ to navigate with good signage

Cons:

-There is absolutely nothing of interest
-There are no obstacles of any kind
-There are no shot shapes....at all.


Other Thoughts:

I have played and enjoyed many one to two star courses and this is my first ever one star review.
I feel obligated to explain. This review is based on the most typical question players refer to DGCR for: "Should I take the time to go there?" Since this Civic Center DGC is only 17 minutes from the much played Pueblo City Park, you might want to go anyway....maybe.

You might look closely at the course photos: Holes 7 to 9 at least appear to have something, anything, but in fact they do not. There is sadly not a single shot, aspect or object of any interest at all.

NOTE: the 2015 plan may have been to add features. Can't help but think it would take dozens of expensive additions and perhaps the plan was scrapped. Also, winter did not affect my round. The wind was light, the ground was dry, the sun was warm.

Not Too Bad 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 24, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a nice little course. I got the chance to play it on Thanksgiving. The course uses the land well. From the time i have driven by this area, the course never seems to get busy.

Cons:

There are no real obstacles to contend with. Only a lot of wind and nothing to slow it down. I throw RHBH and the wind was making very over stable discs finish right. I had to use extreme hyzer angles to combat the wind.

Other Thoughts:

If there are obstacles added on this course it would take it to another level. This is also a great course if you live in the area or are short on time and need a round. This is also a great place to practice fighting the wind or fly a kite.

Baby Steps 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 15, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

We did our best to make a nice 9 hole course with what we were given. The Rotary Club gave a generous donation to make this happen. The land and location was already a done deal. There will be an elevated basket on Hole 1 as well as an information pavillion. Hole 2 plays around the curve of the flood plain. 3 will be Brent Baca-ish with distance markers installed along the length of the hole. 5 will have man-made mandos. 7 plays off the top of the only feature on the property. 9 will mando as well. Course is designed with Hole 1 starting right by the parking lot and Hole 9 finishing right back at the same parking lot. There will be 2 placements per hole. Every basket is a tried and true DISCatcher. All 9 tee pads are exactly the same. 6 feet wide by 12 feet long, concrete. There is plenty of other activities all around the course in case you have non-discers with you. Course was intentionally done away from park goers in the hopes of avoiding any conflict. The park also has plans to host huge events, therefore the need to separate. If you enjoy wind play then there is another Pro. If you don't I'd recommend playing early morning.

Cons:

The biggest Con of the entire course is that the grounds crew over-achieved. They leveled any and all foliage, grass, trees, etc. down to nothing. Please be gentle with any and all struggling plant life and hopefully things will grow back. The other main Con would be the land itself. The course location was already decided as an addition to the park. Not a lot of features to work with. If you don't enjoy wind play than that is a definite Con.

Other Thoughts:

Some thoughts to keep in mind during the early stages of this course: There will be improvements made as time goes on. Man-made obstacles and mandos will be added. Addition landscaping is a possibility. Signage is in the works, as well as additional basket placements.
Be aware of lightning, prairie dog holes, snakes, wind, and sun.
