Denver Memorial Park is a new Eagle Scout Project done very well in truly nice park. We're talking 4-5 seperate pavilions with tables, a good skateboard park, a fish pond complete with 25c fish food, multiple playgrounds, aside the typical baseball fields and asphalt paths of normal parks all on 12 acres.

The first pleasant surprise for DGers was the disc box with some park and scout troop 115 branded putters and midranges to borrow for the round - a really nice touch for beginners without their own discs or for those just hearing the chains rattle for the first time and investigating what these strange contraptions in the grass are for.

The course itself is about 1/3 forested and 2/3 open and has the typical beginner lines. The forest holes were obviously a lot of work and kudos for that, I wished there were more of them once I got back onto open #5.

The teepads are stamped concrete, well done. Some resemble tiles or aged wood, etc. #1 was slippery in the rain but the rest had more all weather finishes as the patterns changed.

#4 is the signature hole of the course, bar none, it gives a hearty taste for advanced forest holes like in state park course like Tyler or French Creek. Teeing off, you need to navigate stands of trees in an oval fairway before the final stretch shoots off at 10 o'clock in a tunnel towards the basket out in the open.

This is a good hometown course to have. With a few minor changes to improve variety, it could rise to three star.

At the moment, posts are in but the teesigns are temporary laminated paper.

The open terrain is all the same. The open holes after #4 became a bit monotonous, for example #5, and 6 were basically the same shot, open forward and left, forest treeline and basket right but just distance variation. Also, having the majority of open holes in one stretch is a bit much. It's obvious that they were crammed into their own spot behind the baseball field and the best with that space was done. This is the norm for community parks but it limits the game.

Next time, I'll personally go #7-5-6-1-2-3-4-8-9 to break up the open holes more, since #7 starts near #1 that route entails no extra walking distance.

Going by the teesign for #7, there was a large pine (?) tree guarding the basket but it must have just recently been cut down which is a shame for both that hole and for #5 going the other way.

Which brings me to this. If I were to suggest one low cost but high return way to improve the course, just plant some trees strategically on #5-9, not just to guard baskets but also restrict shots off the tee with a line. This course needs some more variety which keeps it from being rated higher.

Starting Point: The end the drive goes into an oval loop. Walk north between the skatepark and the pavillion, back towards the forest is the first tee near the asphalted park walkway (on google maps 40.239059, -76.142528). You will see the disc box beside it.
