Pros:
I've spent a second summer in Alamosa and have probably played this course 50 times now.
Excellent concrete tee pads, very good signs, and all baskets in perfect condition, including a practice basket near the parking lot. There is a porta-potty at the parking lot, but no water so bring your own.
There are two 9-hole loops that start and end near the parking lot, which makes it easy to start on hole 10 if a group is already on the first tee.
Half of the holes on the course are 180 - 250 feet, so many opportunities for birdies and ace runs. In spite of the short hole lengths, there are enough trees and brush to require different lines, and several of the holes favor RHFH or LHBH players as they need a right fade. I'd estimate that 90% of the locals throw RHFH.
The three par 4's are marginal, and were played as par 3's during a recent tournament.
There is no a lot of elevation change here, but a couple of holes do have a modest downhill drive that adds some interest.
In spite of the short length, there are 18 pretty decent holes here and I enjoy the variety.
The ground is very sandy so shots tend to stay put once they land. Not a roller-friendly course at all.
Cons:
Some of the cottonwoods on the course are dying or dead, so there are a lot of branches and logs on the ground. Not really a problem, but they do catch a shot now and then.
This is a compact layout, so a few of the baskets are close together and a couple of teepads are near the previous hole's fairway.
Other Thoughts:
The hole info shows 7 holes with water in play, but the two summers I've been here the course has been dry.
