Nothing around 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 12, 2019 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Big shots, good practice course to get out and throw far, good use of the obstacles there are. The elevation use is awesome the hay bales that used to make an island were a cool touch. The warm up area is big with a lot of space to putt and work on upshots.

Cons:

There are just about no obstacles, maybe 8 trees that come into play with a few mando poles. The holes feel very redundant with a lot of back and forth. The wide open being right underneath (downhill from) the reservoir makes it super windy also.

Other Thoughts:

Fun course if you're going out to throw far, learn new discs and make putts.

Stadium? What Stadium? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 10, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

To begin: I'm pretty sure this course isn't called "Hughes Stadium" the signs all said "Aggie Greens" however, I'm no local so don't take my word for it.
-Nice Tees, ample space for a good run up, pretty typical concrete pads for any good course
-For what they are, the fairways are nice, they have been mowed so there is a clear difference between them and the rough
-This course has two obstacles, hills and distance, both are used nicely, a couple shots play up and down hills, most (if not all?) holes are over 300'
-Very easy to navigate, Didnt have to consult the map at all, the layout is very logical
-Wide open, you can do whatever you want throwing wise here, if you want to work on your big forehand drives, you can do that, if you want to try and work on turnovers, do that, etc...
-No garbage laying around the course, this was very nice, garbage is one of my biggest pet peeves
-Fairways don't intersect

Cons:

-Tee signs give great distance, par, and hole number, however, the map is questionable, I mean, there isn't much to map out anyway, but it would be nice to have some of the apparent O.B. Labeled on the map.
-Baskets are very tricky to see, the beat of gray color doesn't stand out at all against the light brown dried grass and dust
-Baskets themselves aren't great, they are passable.
-There are only two obstacles on this course: distance and hills, there is not much variation the course is almost a little bit boring, just 18 baskets thrown about into a field
-Weird mando on one Down hill hole. There are two posts which I believed to be Mandos, but one of them was directly in front of the tee so you were forced to take a weird run up, not necessary at that point in the hole in my opinion
-You can see the mountains in the distance a little bit, but other than that, this course is not a very pretty sight, it is an open lot of land that was grabbed up by the parks department (or so it seems) which I guess is better than no course, but to be real, it is a field with baskets
-Dusty! My discs were caked with dust by the end of the round, kinda gross, needs cleaning

Other Thoughts:

If you have time, come and play this course, especially if you are on your way to horsetooth reservoir (recommended), but if you are in Fort Collins for a short amount of time, go to edora instead.

My Arm Hurts 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 12, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Nice new course with plenty of wide open shots. If you can throw over 400' you'll do well here.
Length is good for one with a gorilla arm. Most holes are close to 400' with some 600'

Cons:

Too open. You can see almost every hole from the tee of #2. WIDE open!
Trees aren't tall enough yet. You can throw the same shot over and over.
Tees: The tees are marked but you have to play the course once to figure out where to go next.
Long straight shots get boring after the first 15 of them.

Other Thoughts:

Nice to see another 18 hole disc golf course in the area. This could be a great course if the trees were more mature and the shot were more creative.

Give It Time 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 13, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course sits right at the base of the foothills in Fort Collins next to Horsetooth Resevoir and Hughs Stadium where the CSU Rams play football. Everythign here is brand new and look brand new. There are plenty of trash cans all over the place. There is a really nice new signs by hole one. The city appears to be really on board with this course which is good considering what is going on with the other much better course in Fort Collins. The tee signs look really nice and the tee pads are consistent. The design of the course makes really good use of the land that is there. There is an irrigation system in place to ensure that the tree that are there stay watered.

Cons:

The trees are really small. The only challenge is the distance. The tee signs are not all together accurate (hole 1 is a good example of this). The tee pads are dirt tee pads, which is normally not a problem but they seemed to be particularly slippery for dirt tee pads. The only bathroom on the course was a port-o-potty by hole 1. It is occasionally difficult to figure out what basket you are supposed to be throwing at. There are a couple of places where it is not necessarily clear where the next tee pad is though there was paint on the ground to point people in the right direction if you could see the paint. There are two holes that play across dirt roads that are in place for access to the larger dirt parking lots that I would assume are for football parking in the fall, so it may not be good to play the course while a football game is going on.

Other Thoughts:

This course is one of those that you jsut look at and say, "man this could be good in 20 years when the trees all grow up." The design is really quite amazing and takes great use of the land but it is not anywhere close to many of the other courses in the area. If you do not throw far, this course could get really boring and really frustrating really fast. I did not particularly like this course at the present time, but I think it could be good. Everything seems to be in place for it to be great and the hope is there that the city will take care of this course until it becomes something special. This course officially opened today under the name Aggie Greens Disc Golf Course.

Very young course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 30, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Baskets are in great condition (should be, they are brand new). The tees are well marked. For the most part, the course flows very well (with perhaps the exception of hole 9 to tee 10). Definitely a long course, giving you ample practice for those long shots.

Cons:

There's no variety for the most part. Hole 1 is just like hole 3, which is just like hole12, 15, etc. If you like long straight holes, you'll love this course. For me, it started to get boring, "Oh look! Another long straight hole!". There are a few exception but for the most part, all the holes played pretty much the same. Currently, the tees are just posts in the ground. No concrete yet (I would assume they just haven't gotten around to installing the concrete tees yet). I can imagine cars with broken windows because hole 1 runs parallel with the parking lot so I would recommend parking as far west as you can.

Other Thoughts:

This is a brand new course that has just opened up. The trees are all brand new, there are no hazards, and no out of bounds areas to speak of (I suppose beyond the fence on 2 and 17 could be considered out of bounds). For the most part, the designer of the course did a good job considering the area to work with. Almost the entire course is in a detention pond. The course goes back and forth along the bottom of the pond (it's a BIG pond) and up and down the sides. The most memorable hole for me was hole 16. It plays along and over some berms that were created for telephone poles. There is a port-a-potty at the parking area but no source of water that I could see.

According to the map at the start of the course (and talking to one of the guys finishing up the landscaping), there will be a pond along hole 9 and 18. 18 is already a beast of a hole (over 600' according to one guy I talked with) and the pond will just make it tougher.

This will definitely be a course to watch. As the landscaping matures, the challenge level will hopefully go up as well as the variety. I don't think I will be going out of my way again to play this course.
