Not sure it should be there 2+ years

Pros:

This is a very short 9 hole course tucked around a path in the Interlocken business park. Most of the holes are located near the path, and a drainage channel runs along a few of the holes.

The landscaping is neatly trimmed and looks great. Much different than the prairie grass covering other courses in the area. Even though its a short course, the hole designs are well thought out and use the limited space well, protecting the baskets as much as possible. Also, there's no trash of any kind, this course is really clean.

Signature Hole - I suppose it would be #3. Its another short hole, but with a quick slope downhill to the creek to the left and the drainage canal off to the right, requiring accurate distance and placement.

Cons:

This course is dangerous. The pavilion and parking lot come into play on hole 7 and 9, respectively, and if there's anyone on the walking path the course follows, watch out. Number 6 plays parallel to Highway 36 (the hole you can see from the road), and while its not that long, an errant shot from someone who doesn't know what they're doing could get way too close.

Other Thoughts:

A well-designed course for where it is, but I'm not sure it should have been installed here in the first place. Even with modest gatherings at the pavilion or softball field, multiple holes become unplayable due to the risk of hitting other park users or their cars. There's no need for anything faster than a putter or possibly a mid.

If you're hosting a picnic or bbq at the park, bring the discs and introduce some people to the game on this short course. Otherwise, head to Westminster or Arvada for a more enjoyable time. I play disc golf to get away outside and relax, and worrying about pedestrians and cars is too frustrating to me to make up for the lack of space and length

Pros:

Nicely maintained.

Cons:

I went to check this course out with one of my boys and we were so frustrated by the grass tees and lack of any kind of information on where those tees were we left and went to another course after 2 holes

Other Thoughts:

You pretty much have to use your imagination on tee location

Not Great 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 1, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

Well maintained park, there are a couple of interesting shots.

Cons:

Unmarked tee's and some very open, boring holes. Nine holes jammed into a very small park, could have been designed better.

Other Thoughts:

Maybe give it a try if you're in the area and wanna play a quick nine.
