Denver area next week...July 31st--August 2nd

[jasonc]

I will be flying out to Denver for a short trip. I want to see some quality Rocky Mountain courses while I am there.

Although this will be my first Disc Golf experience in CO, I have played a few mountain courses in other states. Any local help and/or course guides would be much appreciated. Here is my "wish list" for the trip. Help me narrow down the list (or add a must-play course) before I head out. Thanks in advance! :thmbup:

Beaver Ranch
Bailey
Phantom Falls/Bucksnort/Magic Meadows
Ghost Town
Adventure Ridge
Peak One
Winter Park
Colorado Mountain College
Also, I am considering a course or 2 in Cheyenne to bag another state.

Sundance Trails is on the way to Beaver Meadows. Both are worth a play in the Fort Collins area. You can make a look from Fort Collins, through RM National Park, Winter Park, and over to the west side of Denver for the Beaver, Phantom, Bucksnort... courses.

Thank you superberry. :thmbup:

Sundance and Beaver Meadows both look like decent options. I wish this was a longer trip already!

Any Denver area locals out there? I'm leaning towards an early Saturday (Aug 2nd) morning round at the Ghost Town course.

If you want to play Phantom/ Bucksnort, you need to call Paulie to reserve that day, if you haven't already. It's pretty short notice now, but worth a shot. He only allows like one group per day.

In my opinion Beaver Ranch and Bailey are the two you MUST hit.

I left him a voicemail yesterday....hope he calls back soon. Should I try to call again if I don't hear back today?

Those 2 are high on my list after looking at all of the details. Peak One, Ghost Town and Phantom/Bucksnort too.

I probably will not have enough time to play all of them, but that just means I will have to plan another trip sooner rather than later. :thmbup:

I would call again today. He's always been good about getting back in my experience. If you can't get on there, just play Bailey and B Ranch as they are close to one another.

If you don't do that, you could play Ghost Town on your way up to Summit County (Peak One),it's only about 15-20 min. off I-70 near Central City. Copy the directions, it's tricky to find.

I noticed a different phone number on one of the course pages, so I just called it and left another voicemail. Hope to get a call back soon.

Bump for local course guides???

One last bump for local course guides before I head out tomorrow.....

Also, are there any local stores worthy of a pit stop along the way? It looks like the answer is no besides REI and other big box stores, but I figured I would ask anyways.
