Cons:
- tee pads are dirt
- some of the baskets are hard to find from the tee and a few baskets are near each other making it confusing sometimes which basket you are throwing to
- a course sign to point you toward hole one would help

Other Thoughts:
With a few tweaks and upgrades this could be one of the best courses in the state.

Great Free Mountain Course! 2+ years
Reviewed:
Played on:Jun 3, 2017
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
This is a beautiful course that if you were to play in the Front Range of Colorado, would cost you $10-20 a day, however, this course is free. The pine woods create a great variety of shots that can be used, while still creating plenty of space for a wide variety of shots and power levels. Extremely difficult to lose a disc since there is no water and not a lot of undergrowth. Both AM and Pro tees, help provide fun for all levels. Out of the way of town without being out of town provides privacy and convenience for all. 10-meter tassels at every basket.
Cons:
-No running water. Bring plenty of water because it gets very hot. With it being at ~6500 feet and very dry, I could see people coming from sea level struggling right off the bat, but if you gave yourself time you should be ok.
-Deer Ticks. Bring some bug spray with DEET and check yourself when you are done.

Other Thoughts:
-Tee signs were easy to see, however, some larger signs pointing to the next tee could help improve the navigation.

Beautiful Forest Course 2+ years

Pros:
This course is built on a beautiful section of land that is covered with mature, well spaced pines. The area below the pines has been cleared and shredded.
Hole lengths vary greatly from a short 223' out to the 814' fifth hole. With 7 holes over 400' and 4 holes under 300' the variety of lengths allows you to drive with everything from a putter to your longest distance driver.
The course is surprisingly flat, but there are a couple of good downhill holes (Holes 4 and 18) and s single significantly uphill hole (Hole 7).
Most of the challenge on this course is shaping your drives through the mature pines. There are very few straight holes, and those have the tightest fairways. Otherwise there are a nice variety of right and left-finishing holes, as well as a few that favor an S-shaped drive.
The tee signs look brand new, and include hole distance, par, direction to next tee, the local business sponsoring the hole (always great to see) and a useful diagram of the hole. Most holes have a sign pointing to the next tee, and usually an obvious trail leading you there. Navigation is excellent on this course.
Tee pads are natural and are outlined with timbers along the front and on both sides. They are absolutely huge, like 8' wide and 20' long. The extra width is nice because it allows you to avoid the occasional rocks and lumpy spots in the tee pad.
The 10 meter circle is marked around every basket with a ring of flexible "white-top" construction markers that stick up out of the ground a few inches. This is the first course that I've ever seen this on and it was a welcome addition. Baskets are in like-new condition and many had flags on top to help with spotting them from the tee.
There is an ample parking lot near the first tee with a porta-john and trash can. The 18th hole finishes back at the parking lot.

Cons:
With no underbrush or shrubs there is not a lot of punishment for missing the line on your drive. You might hit a tree and lose some distance, but you will probably still have a clean line to the basket.
The natural tee pads are very good, but some have rocks sticking up out of them here and there, and they can get a bit sticky if wet. That being said they are so large that you can usually find a decent place to tee from.
There are a couple of holes where you can see more than one basket, and a couple of others with blind baskets. So plan to do a little scouting ahead on your first round.

Other Thoughts:
It is hard to review this course without comparing it to the other Pagosa Springs course, Reservoir Hill. This course is longer, but not as hilly and not as heavily wooded. The two compliment each other very well. Reservoir Hill will beat you up a little more, while Cloman Park lets you air it out some.
I spent the summers of 2012 and 2013 in SW Colorado, and heard about the planning and construction of this course. This was my first opportunity to get back and play it, and I am really pleased at how good a course it turned out to be.
