Awkward Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 26, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Course is along a nice greenway. Clear, well kept-grass to play on

Cons:

- Awkward course along a busy walking path. You're constantly weaving along the sidewalk and throwing very close to the sidewalk/parking lots.- Sidewalk is very busy with pedestrian traffic (near Sunset on a Monday night). Pedestrians have no idea there's disc golf there.- Two holes had people just sitting and talking on the phone or smoking directly in the middle of the course. But it's hard to ask them to move since they're just sitting on a fence or in the park (not obvious at all it's the middle of a course)- The area isn't the 'nicest' (for Broomfield). A few characters hanging around towards sundown.- Missing a basket (6). Some baskets developing a decent tilt to them. - No real tee-pads, maps, or markers. There are spray-painted numbers on the sidewalk for the tees, and the baskets have numbers (though some are peeling).- course plays back and forth, so if it's busy you'll be throwing into other groups constantly.

Other Thoughts:

Overall I didn't have very much fun. I was too worried about hitting people, cars, etc. to really feel like I could throw a disc or get some good practice in. Update - I bumped this up from a 1 to a 1.5 after playing this course in the early morning when the park is empty a few times. If it's empty, without pedestrians and other players, this is a nice course for beginners and intermediate players. It's got some long holes for bigger arms (400+), and for beginners it's in a nice park without much OB, so it isn't very punishing of bad shots. However, I still really don't like playing this course if it's busy at all.

A Quiet Practice Round 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 2, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Uncrowded, nice area, mowed grass, nice baskets, a few trees and drainage/creek for obstacles

Cons:

Every tee is from the same sidewalk, and if there were more people playing, there definitely would have been cross-traffic. Few interesting shots, narrow fairway, no elevation changes, very little variety hole to hole.

Other Thoughts:

Practice only. Not really a course worth playing.

3 Hole 3's 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 19, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course is very easy to find off of the road as it is the entire park, and if you play pin-to-pin the course is very easy to navigate with very few obstacles to deal with.

The baskets are in good condition. This could be attributed to the fact that this course is very rarely played so that could be a pro as well.

For a course like this it is surprising to see holes with this type of length. Getting 2s would need a rocket arm and a good long putt. This could be a good course to practice your long approach shots if you do not have a consistent 400 foot shot.

Cons:

The course page says that there are tees that were spray painted on the concrete instead of playing pin-to-pin. These marks either do not exist or I am a terrible searcher; I will probably say the former is true.

There are no obstacles to speak of. There is a small drainage ditch that runs at the beginning and end of the course but it seems unlikely that a shot will land here.

The baskets are all numbered funny. The course flows fine but it can be confusing since three of the nine holes have #3 on their hole plate on top of the basket. This definitely adds confusion especially since the baskets are so close to one another. The baskets being so close to one another adds danger to the literally dozen or so players so may make it out here a year.

Other Thoughts:

All in all this course was very forgetful and nothing I would ever think about going to again. This course is just one to put under your belt sort of like I did.

Good Park, Bad Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 9, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- Well Maintained Park with Green Grass and small creek running through it.
- A few good distance holes up to 400+ feet.
- Not too difficult to lose a disc (unless it lands in someone's backyard)

Cons:

- Very simple and straight.
- Tee boxes are spray painted on the walkway very poorly and can be difficult to read.
- Not a lot of open space at this park making it a very simple course that runs along a small creek
- 1st Tee is by a playground and is too close to where the children play.
- Park backs up to houses and it can be fairly easy to throw a disc into someone's back yard.

Other Thoughts:

This course is Okay at bets. There are plenty of better courses in the area that offer better challenges. This course id very close to where I live but I still chose to travel further for more of a challenge. If it is your first time on this course be sure to bring a map!

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 7, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course offers a nice distraction from it's Fast Pace Surroundings. Nice Baskets

Cons:

There is no real Difficulty & It's hard to Navigate even though you can locate All Baskets (Tee Pads are not marked). It plays Up & Down a Wide Greenbelt with little obstacle, outside the very small waterway (2 feet wide) than runs along the South Side of the GreenBelt.

Other Thoughts:

It does it's best with what it has (but it has little to offer) The baskets are nice but you basically have to make up you're own TeePads. If you can stay out of the Tiny WaterWay, you can easily shoot Under Par here.

It's in a bad location. Reminds me of another GreenBelt Course, "Pioneer Park" , in Greeley, CO - If you live in the area it's not a bad option, BUT, if you don't it's not worth a trip on it's own!

First Course Played 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 8, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

This was the course I was introduced to the sport on by Luke (Luke@DiscTrips) so I have waited to write the review until now. This will not take into account the current construction items discussed in other reviews.

- The park was very well maintained and is certainly designed for beginners and is a great introduction to the sport.
- wide open fairways with no elevation changes throughout.
- trees are scattered and play very little into shot selection and difficulty (it is a beginner course)
- very quick course to play, even with a group.
- no map required to follow course.
- only shot at losing a disc is to a yard with a dog along the last couple of holes

Cons:

- no tee pads
- no restrooms
- no obstacles
- no tee signs
- only 1 trash can at parking lot

Other Thoughts:

Absolutely great course for beginners and even experienced players looking for a quick round. I would play this course with a mid-range and putter only to add some challenge.
I think a more experienced player could select some alternate tee pad locations to try and factor a tree into the approach just for fun.
This would also be a great course to practice drives in the open field when others are not playing. I would give to have this short little course within a couple minutes of my house. Very fun - take a beginner with you and introduce them to the sport!

It has baskets... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 20, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Pretty easy course to play quick. 9 baskets in a open field that plays down and back. The area is well maintained.

Cons:

No Tee Pads, and since it is a down and back, if there are others playing, you can kinda get in each others way on hole #2 and #7(baskets close to each other).

Other Thoughts:

If you are in the area, don't waste your time. Drive 5 minutes south to East Interlocken Park
for a much better course.
