Creative, challenging, very well designed & detailed

You should be in decent shape, it\'s a bit of a hike, but great workout. Suggest a spotter on some holes, don\'t wear sandals

Very easy to follow, someone put a lot of time & effort into the design, great job in the details, very impressed!

Driving down the dirt road to get and turning into the driveway by the green shop to be greeted by a group of boisterous four legged friends, one could wonder what you got yourself into. A true mountain course, that's what. This gem is worth the drive. The owners, Mark and Mary are friendly and welcoming. After parking, filling out the waiver, and paying the $5 fee, you head to the first tee box. We were one of two cars on sunday afternoon, so I knew we would have it mostly to ourselves. On the first tee box I knew Mark must be a bomber, because the basket straight up the hill was no slouch. The rest of the course was no different. This course has excellent signage, tee boxes, and basket locators (which you will need). A spotter is a big help, and you throw blind a vast majority of the time. The oaks can swallow a disc if you are not careful. Be prepared to hike, this is no walk in the park, and bring water. Great traction on your shoes is a must. The course is long, and demands accuracy, but also forgiving enough to be fun. The front nine plays mostly uphill or across a meadow, while the back heads (mostly) down or across the mountain, take some time to enjoy the view up top. Mark and Mary are very kind, and you can tell they spend a lot of time, effort, and money providing a great course, with excellent directions and trimmed fairways. All and all a great place to enjoy nature and to challenge your skills.

The terrain can be a challenge, especially on the downhill shots, there are some steep descents that you could slip on if ill prepared.

A great place to get away from it all, can't wait to go back, and I really can't wait to play snowshoe disc golf, because that apparently is a thing and I am so in for it! Thanks for all the hard work and continued improvement you put into this course.

1) Infringement - much effort has gone into giving each card on the course as much privacy and ownership of the hole that they are playing by taking advantage of the huge amount of space available, as well as vegetation and terrain to give a private feeling to every hole, while still offering a reasonable distance from pin to tee. The fairways aren't crowded together, which is oh so common on many courses that I've played. There are very few places at Haybro where players are forced to see or interact with players on other holes.

Haybro is a Disc Golf Course, period. It is not a park. It's not shared with a campground, biking, hiking, baby strolling, wedding pictures, school ground, homeless refuge, playground, rv park, track, gravel pit, neighborhood, gymnasium, orgy, picnic, ATV park, airfield, military base, baseball, ball golf course.... At Haybro Redtail, the only thing that you are sharing the space with is the mountain views, wild animals, mother nature, and on rare occasion, other disc golf players.

2) Safety - Yes the terrain is mountainous and steep in spots, but none of the tee pads have sharp drop offs and by design they have ample run-up, run-off, and side clearance as well as safe zones for spectators and bystanders.

3) Use of vegetation, terrain and elevation - you are not going to find many courses that leverage these three elements like Redtail does, and none of them can offer all the pros listed here

4) Appeal to all levels of players - Being the property owner and with ready access to the best of construction equipment, we have built long shot tees that challenge the strongest arms, as well as much closer amateur tees that won't scare away those new to the sport. Plus the putting park is friendly, entertaining, and challenging to all skill levels.

5) Technically and physically demanding with an absolutely brilliant layout - It can only be experienced in person. A great deal of study has gone into each hole to give challenge/reward options to all styles of play. Fairways, landing zones, greens, and pin locations have been carefully crafted to create the best dg experience possible

6) The putting park - ~ 2 acres of truly unique mountain terrain devoted purely to putting w/9 Dynamic Discs Marksman baskets complete with elevation, obstacles, and tunnel shots.

7) Exceptional reputation - people from all over the state and country make a point to play Redtail and many come back regularly. On the 4 common disc golf rating sites (google, discgolfscene, dgcr, and UDisc) Redtail has rated between the top 3 and top 6 in the state over it's 5 years of operation.

8) Views, landscapes, serenity - The best that Colorado offers and it can only be experienced in person

9) Excellent integration with natural surroundings

10) Easy access, well marked routes, flexible year round play and creature comforts - A waiver is required but everything is provided for at the start of the course. Signage is abundant. A majority of tee pads have benches. Snow shoe disc golf is a blast.

1) Redtail's financial and time burden will always be in conflict with my desire to create the best disc golf experience that I can. As long as the pros above offset this fact, the course will remain open. It does help that Redtail is a personal favorite of many people from Denver/front range and that Ski Town USA (Steamboat) brings in a lot of people with disc golf interests. I have met so many enthusiastic and fun people that come to play and praise what we've done with the course that I am long way from expecting any financial gain from the endeavor.

2) Redtail is the only P2P course open to the public in this region of Colorado. It is also among the most challenging to play in the state (which says a lot in Colorado). A majority of Redtail's patrons show respect and follow the rules, but there are those that feel that they are above the rules.

3) Maintenance is a lot of work. The maintenance crew consists of Greg, myself, and a herd of cattle. Greg and I are both very particular about the condition of the course. With each passing year, and now more than 4 years in, we have been gaining. Now maintenance takes less time away from ongoing course improvements, with the exception of the months of May and June, where our time is totally consumed with mowing and brush cutting.

DISCLOSURE: This review is written by the owner and a key developer of Haybro Redtail DGC. Haybro is my vision and I played a critical role in it's design and development as did Greg Dalsis, who still voluntarily performs almost all of the maintenance while I focus my time on my Professional Services day job in order to provide the significant funds required to keep the course in operation.

My vision and charter for Haybro primarily came during ~10 years of constant travel for work. Disc golf was an ideal solution to getting regular exercise while I was out in the field. Courses are readily available throughout the US, even in the most urban locations. Traveling with discs is also real easy.

Finally the comments in this thread starting with #87 here: dgcoursereview.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10441&page=9, are what provided the impetus to write the review, and I couldn't agree more with the comments spoken.

Technical, definitely makes you think about every shot. Not overly long (which is a preference of mine). Some great big bombs down the mountain. Also, the last few holes are big drop in from the tee (some of my favorite shots). Dog friendly.

Ticks? That's about all I can think of.

Updating my review as I have now played the course 10+ times.

Awesome mountain course ! Lots of hiking, elevation change, challenging shots, great scenery, awesome basket placement.
+/- elevation on holes/tees.
Dogs can run the course with you.
Great variation of shots and approaches.
Good hole to hole signage
The Putting park is sweet!
It's a wild course! Let's just say it's not a city park round of disc... and it's addicting, fun and tiring.
I'm looking forward to seeing the growth of the course. The potential is endless on the property.

Easy to lose discs in the long grass/brush.
Wish there were more holes to play.
Can be out of the way, if you don't know the area.

Overall I find Redtail to be one of the most challenging course I have played to date; both physically demanding and technically challenging, lots of obstacles - trees, brush, geography. Great mountainside baskets with decent signage to each hole. I liked that each hole had a back story posted along with signage, distance and mapping.
That being said, Haybro is the closet course to my house and 1 of 3 dgc in the local vicinity.
I have now played this course over a dozen times and everytime I go out I find something new out there, or learn a new way to approach a basket, or see something on the course/mountainside that I've never seen out there before.

The best winter snowshoe disc golf anywhere! Course runs the gauntlet of challenges from short "thread the needle" holes to LONG downhill putter huks. With a whole lot of everything in between. Have played in both summer and winter, and while this course is fantastic in summer, I think it shines when there is many feet of white powder on the ground. Just metal tape some thin ribbon to the bottom of your discs, strap on some snowshoes and enjoy. Actually easier to find discs in winter than summer. Mark, the owner of the course, and Greg design and keep this course in great shape, always looking for better lines and challenges to create. Beautiful vistas and a challenging course make this a summer AND winter must for me every year.

Nothing that can be helped. A little bit of a drive, but well worth it.

Keep it up guys, and I'll see you come Colorado Summer!

Challenging course through a wide variety of terrain. Lots of elevation change and great views. The course has vastly improved since opening early this spring. Teepads are coming along and fairways have been cleared out. This is quickly moving towards a professional caliber course and will be so in coming years.

A few blind holes can be challenging or frustrating to new or beginner players. Once you have played through a couple times these holes become much easier to navigate.

Mark is a great host and welcomes all to come check out this amazing course on a great piece of property! Peace, Love, and Disc Golf!

*Once you learn the layout of the course and are able to play with a group and spotters, there couldn't be a better place to be. You can hide from the wind during the holes in the trees. The views from start to finish are amazing. The lack of noise pollution makes the course absolutely peaceful. I haven't been able to donate my volunteer time to the course as I was when it was being established and will regret this forever. Thanks for all you have done for the sport in a few short years Mark. Don't ever stop playing!

Peace, love, and Disc Golf!

Challenging and unique throws everywhere
beautiful setting. All of the teepads, fairways, greens and even much of the roughs are now cut back

if you are weak of spirit the up and down of the hills will challenge you

This is a brand new course (first review!) and has a rustic feel. Dirt tee pads except for two holes which have cool wooden ones. Mark and Greg have done a TON of work to get this course going. It was a ton of fun going up and down the hills of Red Tail valley. We had a group of 5 and didn't lose a single disc. Only played holes 1-11 due to time constraint. This has the potential to be a world class course on par with the likes of Beaver Ranch in Conifer and Phantom Falls. I recommend wearing pants to shield yourself from all the brush you'll be walking through, bring some water, and expect ~2-3 hours of some awesome disc golf.
