Pros:
-Beautiful land. This course is located in the foothills of the Front Range of the Rockies. There are beautiful vistas all over this land.
-There was a good mix of open and wooded holes. On open holes there was usually some elevation or a few obstacles. Wooded holes weren't too wooded and all were fair.
-There were some (3-4) decent water shots here.
-The people working were nice and helpful.
-Plenty to do on this scenic dude ranch. You could bring others here for a relaxing weekend away from civilization.
-Restaurant on site is decent.
-Baskets are in decent shape.

Cons:
-Horse poo every where. This is a dude ranch.
-The course plays next to or on roads, ponds, trails, etc and there are people performing other activities or just hanging out here. This is definitely a multi-use place.
-Navigation is exceptionally horrible. Maps were somewhat helpful but you still need to go ahead to scout out most of the basket locations and finding the next tee can be quite hard sometimes.
-This course isn't really beginner friendly. A lot of the holes are long or have too long of water carries for people who can't throw reasonably far. I am a decent player and the challenges weren't really my kind of fun.
-Some of the holes crisscross or are just too close together. Seems crazy for a course on this much land to have that problem.
-The course is pay to play and the maintenance certainly isn't up to par for p2p courses.
-This course is set at 8500' elevation and you will walk a lot during your round. Not for the out of shape player.
-Many holes were missing tee signs and that didn't help navigation at all.
-Tees are natural and many aren't in the best shape.
-High altitude courses can expect quick changes in weather, be prepared for anything. Weather could be much different than Ft. Collins.
-Loss of discs can occur in both water and tall grass.

Other Thoughts:
-I really wanted to like this course more. It is in a beautiful area with some really nice people. However, disc golf seems to be low on the priority list here.
-I don't know if I would recommend the trip up here to play this course and Sundance. They are both pretty courses and they will challenge you. They will also frustrate you as I said before, disc golf is not top priority. If you want to visit a dude ranch then disc golf is an extra bonus.
-If they offered another set of tees to help out players that can't throw super far, cleaned up navigation and signage and worked on the tees, this course would probably get a solid 4 from me. There is potential.
