Very Pretty, if you can see through the flies... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 9, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Incredible views, in a gorgeous mountain area.
-Good use of the available area, resulting in a short, but nicely diverse and somewhat technical course.
-Homemade pins are cool, and catch discs fairly well.
-Temperatures are nice in summertime. Fort Collins was around 98 degrees, but I barely broke a sweat while throwing up here.

Cons:

-Flies. There's a considerable amount of cow leavings all over the course, and loads of attendant flies. I had something buzzing about in my face on 12 out of 18 tees. If you're looking to work on your mental game in some ridiculously annoying circumstances, look no further. I couldn't even stand while waiting for my partner to throw without cursing and whipping my putter around me in an attempt to drive off the swarm.
-Tees can be rough to find. The course has become pretty overgrown in some places. The map at the entrance, and occasional signs on trees saying "Next" helped on many holes.
-We couldn't find the pin for forever on hole 18. Turns out campers had parked their RV in front of the pin...
-The rubber tee pads are pretty short and sometimes slide forward, covering holes. It looks flat under the edge of the tee pad, but when you plant your foot, you step in the hole.

Other Thoughts:

I would love to camp, hike, or mountain bike here. The area is fantastically beautiful. I don't think I'll play disc golf here again unless I'm up there for another reason. The flies alone had me just wanting the round to be over by hole 9. The course alone, just on it's own merits, isn't as fun to play as other courses that are much closer for anyone not already in the mountains, and are free. It's not a bad course at all. Seems to me a really good use of the space, with a lot of fun shots. I do like to have a couple of holes that call for a big drive, and this course really only has the one. And there was an RV in front of the pin when we threw it. If I lived close by, I'd be so thankful this course was there. If you wanted to find one place to camp, hike, and play disc golf, this would be a great place. For just a place to go throw a round, if you're not already in the area, you can find someplace closer and you'll have just as much fun.
