Peak One is 27 hole course overlooking the beautiful Lake Dillon. I've heard a lot about the views at the Lake Dillon-Main course, the views are even better at Peak One. It doesn't seem possible but it is. The course was originally an 18 that was expanded to 27 holes at some point. The course can easily be played as just the original 18 too, which ends you near where hole 27 drops you off. Nice to have options, more on this later.

The baskets here are all Discatchers. The original 18 holes have some super old school versions of them, while the last 9 has your more modern version. The originals aren't the greatest but they're not the worst baskets out there either. The newer ones are your typical Discatchers, look and catch great. One basket and two to three pin positions per hole.

Concrete tees on all holes. These are nicely sized and grippy. No issues with these. One tee pad per hole.

The course design is pretty well done here. There's no overly long transitions between holes and the property is used very nicely to highlight the better features where possible. There's elevation throughout the entire course, but it's very minor compared to other mountain courses. The entire course is covered in pine trees as well. There's only a few mostly open holes on the whole course. You're going to be dealing with trees for the majority of your time out here.

There's a solid mixture of different lengths out here too, depending on which pins are in the ground. I'd assume they're mostly in the longs in the warmer months. There's a few legit par 4's for the longs but it's a mostly par 3 course. With that said, it's still a challenging course that requires placement over distance on the majority of the holes. Being just a bit too short or long can spell trouble.

The tee signs are nicely done out here. They feature an actual topographical view with the intended direction and basket placements overlayed on top of it. In addition to that there's the hole # and distances to either basket location. The best part is that they bolt a "Playing Today" placard above the current pin position.
This is vital for a piney course like this.

The flow of the course is pretty decent. I did have to use the map a number of times. But nothing too crazy.

The last (new) 9 holes are pretty terrible. I was strongly leaning towards a possible 4 after the first 18. That quickly changed. The final 9 holes need a lot of work. No realistic lines on most of the holes. Some don't even really have a fairway. It's just throw it up over this wall of pines and see what happens. If I was local I'd rarely play these last holes. That's why it's nice that 18 ends near where 27 does. These were a major letdown to say the least.

The tee signs, while visually appealing, don't really accurately show where the pin is located. Everything is basically a straight line from the tee. There's no doglegs or even gentle bends shown. Not a big fan of these maps.

A couple goofy transitions between holes. Nothing too crazy, but a few more next tee arrows would help out with this. Be sure to bring a map to speed things along. This seemed to be more of an issue later in the round for whatever reason.

There's a few trails that meander through the course that you need to be aware of. Seems to be quite popular when the weather is nice too, so expect some pedestrian traffic.

Like I said in the cons, I was leaning towards a possible 4. It probably wouldn't have quite earned that, but after the last nine holes there was no way. This is still a fun course and worth a visit if nearby. The last 9 holes are a real drag though. With a little bit of clearing out of some lines it'd be fine. As is it's kind of a joke of an ending.

An extremely solid course with lots of lines and gorgeous views.

-Amenities: Solid, if not top-notch. Mixed baskets (all fine), tee signs of slight usefulness, concrete pads, next tee cues.

-Layout: The original 18, followed by an additional 9-hole loop. It's pretty easy to stop after the first set.

-Beauty: The course itself is scrubby, but the backdrop is gorgeous mountains. Frisco is at the base of a couple of peaks, and they loom throughout the round. Parts of the course also have great vistas of the Dillon Reservoir.

-Challenge: Actually moderately difficult, despite all the par-3s. The trees catch anything that come near them, requiring very specific lines and creating some very hard scrambles. I'd pin it as upper-level Intermediate in parts, with some easier stretches as well.

-Shot Shaping/Gameplay: A lot of quirkily demanding shots with punishing scrub. Curves are important, and many shots throw blind around firs to the pin. Shapes range from subtle to steep, as do the inclines - several holes have very steep drops, while others are totally flat. Added in are some easy wide open holes to get you back to even when you bogey. A couple of par-4s, but the rule is longish par-3s. Having a good straddle putt, and long legs to lean out of trees, will be valuable assets. The final nine increase the density a bit more, requiring more laser lines and less lollipop shots.

-Multi-Pins: Several rotating pin placements per hole, with indicator system.

-Par-3 Golf: It gets a little old after a while. The creativity of shapes is impressive, but Peak One would be much better for the inclusion of multi-shot strategic holes.

-Blind Pins and Shots: Big downside for first-timers. A large number of pins are blind, which isn't good when the tee signs are as vague as these are. Further, throwing so many blind shots into dense trees is a recipe for lost discs, especially if you get caught up in something above the ground. At any rate, a lot more searching than desirable.

-Scrambling: Sometimes just not fun. If you're in the middle of a fir, you can't throw more than 10 feet.

-Navigation: At times, confusing. You can get turned around the wrong way, and the dirt makes it difficult to wear in any obvious trails.

-Dusty: A normal desert con, but especially bad here. Some of the grittiest, disc-dirtying rounds I've played.

Peak One is a course that I enjoyed like a Good course, but in an honest evaluation has the variety to earn it a Very Good rating. There is lots of shaping with very real punishments for flubs, combined with occasional elevation and some stunning scenery. There are navigation and pin-finding issues, but I tend to de-emphasize these. Play with a local if you can, and you're likely to have a great round.

This is a scenic course with lots of trees in the area, a lake nearby, and mountains in the distance. The layouts vary a little with a few blind tee shots, a few small dog legs, and a few small changes in elevation. A lot of the holes have narrow fairways, with some being more narrow than others, but there are also a few that are relatively open. There are multiple tee pad locations for each hole, and that helps add to the variety of hole lengths. Also, the signage at each tee pad is unique in that they consist of short logs standing up with the hole information embedded on top.

It's easy to lose your disc on a lot of these holes. If it sails away from the fairway, you can easily lose sight of it because of all the trees blocking your view. You can also lose your disc simply because it gets stuck way up in a tree and you're unable to get it down. This course doesn't have as much variety as it could have. A lot of the holes have a similar look and feel to them: narrow fairways with woods on the right and woods on the left. Some fairways are a little too narrow. Also, some of the fairways are mostly dirt with little to no grass. I realize that that's mainly because of the terrain and that the climate can sometimes be real dry, but it'll be a good idea to bring a towel so you can clean your disc when it lands on one of the dirt fairways.

Overall, this is a good course for more experienced players. Others might still enjoy it for the challenge it offers, and maybe also because of the scenery. It'll be a good idea, though, to play here with at least one other person. That way you'll have an extra set of eyes to follow your disc so you don't lose it.

This course is a classic for Colorado players living in the Rockies. It is on a the reservoir peninsula, so very little elevation change compared to other courses in county. Well maintained concrete tee boxes with pars and distances listed. 27 holes right now, with the still-rough "new 9" playing very fun but no signage yet. Just enough wooded areas to provide shade and keep things interesting, but fairly hard to lose a disc unless you really take a bad turn. Not much elevation up/down so one of the easier courses in the rockies for players who have issues walking on hills.

Beautiful views of Lake Dillon and surrounding mountain ranges. you can clearly see Grays and Torrey's 14er peaks from this course.

Often crowded with tournament play, it seems like there is a tournament just about every weekend in the summer (not true, but feels like it sometimes!)


The introduction of the "new 9" has been great and we have just played the new-9 twice to make 18 holes on crowded tournament days.

For a course that is this popular, the tee-box signage could really use an upgrade. Currently there aren't indicators to show pin placement, but I have a sneaking suspicion they will be there next season when the signs are also installed for the new 9? (fingers crossed)

Would like to see a practice basket closer to the parking lot and Tee #1. Currently the only practice basket towards the end of the course, about 150 yards away from hole #1 tee.

Beautiful Saturday in June... played three rounds in a row (without wearing out) ... steady stream of people, but not too much waiting around past hole 1... friendly strangers... I play forehand and backhand, and this course invited lots of both... nice variety in distances... for pros, there are lots of birdies out there, but if you don't know the course, you'll be shooting blind more than a few times... tee pads are easy to find and are close, and the course is easy to navigate from baskets to pads... nice mountain and lake views... cooler temps than metro area... nice benches and places to rest... clearly cared for by the locals (and lots of them) ... a small field for warming up, and a practice basket... public restroom and drinking fountain near hole 1... free.

families on vacation... some elevation change, but overall it's pretty flat... lots of good holes, but no unforgettable holes... a little crowded... distances on signs were frequently off and generally not that helpful.

fairways and gaps are relatively wide (compared to Conifer, for example)

Great course with awesome views. Concrete tee pads and baskets in perfect condition. The locals are friendly and I recommend you try to play with one the first few times around. Nice use of elevation and creative design. If you look at the tee signs they use a system with ball golf tees telling you which side you will find the baskets. I highly recommend you play this course.

It is a bit hard to navigate and some baskets are behind trees making it somewhat challenging to follow the track.

The managers of the course like to change it up to keep it interesting for the locals; look for the white golf tees in the tee markets to make it easier to navigate. There is one section in the middle of the course which is a little confusing if you don't know the course.

Great course layout. Lots of bench and garbage cans. Good tee pads and good baskets. A variety of shots. Technical ones and huge long distance ones.

Wish there were some more technical holes. Can get crowded.

Wish I got play it before they did the logging.

This course sits on a beautiful mountain lake. There is still a fair amount of trees despite being hit hard by beetle kill. There is a very good variety of hole length and type. The course makes knowing different shots a huge advantage. There is good use of elevation. There are some unique holes. The fun factor on this course was much higher than I expected. There are some really nice facilities in the Frisco Peninsula recreation area. There is a nice big sign by the baseball field with information about the course. Navigation is fairly straight forward. There are some awesome benches, my favorite of which are the old chair lift benches.

The trees are not quite what they should be to be a true mountain course but it is working on getting back to be that way. There is also a lack of elevation change in comparison to typical mountain courses. Signs and distances do not always seem that accurate. There is the occasional traffic from either bikers or hikers. The only indication that there is a course in the area from a road or parking lot are a few signs and the practice basket, but it really is back there.

I went up to play this course for the first time at the tournament that was held for the first time in about five years. I really would have loved to see this course back then before the beetle kill. It was apparently even tighter and thick before. As it is right now it is fairly easy to score well on this course. I really enjoyed the holes that played by the lake and wish, to a certain extent that they would have made more use of the lake. There are no real shots to have any risk of going in the water so you can leave the water discs at home. It appears as though the entrance to the recreation area has been redone when they also built the day lodge. More people should stop to play this course, it is well worth the visit and will only get better as the trees continue to grow back.

-Great mix of distances on the holes with distances ranging from about 200 feet all the way up to a 600+ foot hole.
-Good mix of shots with lots of trees, some uphills and downhills, some more wide open holes and even one hole that throws over an inlet of the Dillion Resevoir. Many of the holes are well designed and challenging (though quite a few of the holes like to dogleg right)
-Pretty easy course flow to follow
-Signs at each teepads give you the distance of the hole and the pro and am par.
-The baskets are in good shape
-The course is well maintained and there is not a lot of really rough rough to lose a disc in.
-Concrete teepads
-Unlike many of the ski area courses in the surrounding area, this course is free to play.

-This course gets extremely crowded with lots of large groups of people with many not willing to let smaller groups play through
-The beatle kill epidemic has taken a lot of trees off of this course, which I feel has made it a little easier
-Parts of the course can hold water during spring melt off
-The teesigns don't show a layout of the current hole. On some courses this would not be a problem but on many of the holes the basket is not visible from the teepad so it can be very hard to know where you are throwing at on some of the holes the first few times you play the course
-One of the holes I believe it was hole 11 was missing a basket and instead just had a stick in place of the basket

This is a very fun course with quite a few well designed holes that provide a good variety of different shots. The crowds and a few flaws are keeping it from a four disc rating, but it is definitely worth a trip up to play if your enjoy playing mountainous courses.

This is a Colorado Mountain course requiring a wide variety of shots. It is one of the better maintained mountain courses, providing trash cans and benches in many places as well as spectacular views of the Rockies and lake Dillon. There is minimal sign placement, but the course is very easy to figure out as a first-timer. Frisco has many holes which give the appearance that large stands of trees were removed to create perfect and beautiful fairways. This course requires a large amount of long bombs with a great deal of accuracy. If you go for the bomb without accuracy, losing a disc amongst the trees here can take hours. However, don't think this will get you away from those finesse shots... you still need those on a few holes. This is a long course with a great vibe. Expect to take about two hours, and a desire to play again at the end.

This course has the ability to get very crowded very quick. You have to pick and choose the time of day which you arrive.

Awesome course with a wide variety of longer shots. A few blind shots, and one par 5. A well maintained course (with a bit of trash here and there) that is worth playing.

I also want to note that since I have reviewed it, the course has changed quite a bit. I have a few buddies that went up and played... and they claimed the holes were longer and not as creative, as well as a massive large loss of trees. I cannot testify to this, but what I heard is that the course went from a 4.0 rated course to around a 3.0 rating.

Fantastic views!!! There are great views from just about every spot on this course! Just what you would expect from a course in the mountains.

It is set up well. A good shot can take advantage of some of the hole locations. An occasional bad throw won't kill the round.

It is obvious this course used to be a little tougher. The pine beetles have taken many trees out and have opened up several holes.

The distances listed on the tee signs did not seem to be that accurate.

This is a fun course that I would like to play every time I am in the Breckenridge area. To really enjoy the course, play it more than once to ensure you know the hole locations on the tee.

First timers will probably want to hook-up with some local(s) to be able to follow the layout easily.

The scenery here definitely made a lasting impression on me. The mountains in the background and the beautiful views of Lake Dillon were incredible. There were also a couple of ski lift benches that added a really nice touch.
There is plenty of parking available here and although I was here on a weekend, it is far from what I would consider crowded. (this could also be due to the fact that I was there in kind of an off season). The course is very easy to find. Before the start of hole 1, there is a practice basket and some open space with enough room to practice some short drives and approaches.
The course was very well maintained and easy to navigate with well groomed fairways, nice cement tee pads, and nice DISCatcher baskets that were all in great shape.
Well laid out and good mix of holes with some short and technical, some straight shots, some hidden baskets a couple long holes and one almost 700' WIDE open bomb. Challenging enough for a well rounded player without being too difficult or overwhelming even for beginners.

There wasn't as much elevation change as I had hoped for, but there were a few holes where it played really nicely without being extreme so I didn't really feel let down.
Although they did have nice tee signs with hole# and distance, it would have been nice to either have signs with hole maps or at least some indication of where to find some of the baskets without having to walk the hole first.
Although I didn't let the aftermath of the beetles affect my rating (because this is now the permanent condition of the course), I feel it is worth mentioning that it is clear when looking down the fairways at all the stumps from cleared trees that you are likely throwing on a line that would not have existed previously.

I had a lot of fun playing this course and look forward to returning in the future. Everyone we encountered on the course and in town was very friendly. I was originally going to pass this course up even though I was staying right up the road in Dillon, but was urged by one of the locals to give it a shot and definitely do not regret it.

Really Great Scenery. Wooded, Mountainous, Very Well Marked for easy navigation.

Good variety of shots... some tough long and narrow fairways, and some shorter shorts that require skill and creativity

A fairly difficult course with lots of opportunity to lose your discs. Not the best choice for beginners, but fun non the less

This course is a bit of monster. It is alot of fun, but can be frustrating when a disc goes astray. A challenging course, but in a great environment and worth playing

This is a very nice course! The scenery is beautiful up in the Mountains and right on the lake.
The nice thing about this course is that it has a little bit of length but you don't have to be too powerful to enjoy it.
Very easy to follow as all the holes pretty much follow the path that's laid out in front of you.

It was a little crowded on the weekend. Waiting normally doesn't bother me, but there were these really annoying kids who asked to play through on everyhole, even though everyone was waiting and eventually they skipped a hole and we waited for them on every hole. Very rude but it was better than having them driving too early on every tee.
Also, all the people who had played this course prio to the beattle infestation couldn't stop talking about how much better it used to be and how many more trees there were. I'm sure it was, but get over it already
Overall, these were just individual gripes from a particular round, I can't say much bad about this course.

Overall this is a very nice course that was worth the drive from Denver.

This course has a great set-up. It sits in a bowl next to Lake Dillon surrounded by mountains. There is water, trees, technical drives and great views. The tee pads, signs and baskets are good quality. It also has character with various regional "art" placed throughout the park such as an old chairlift near hole #5. The course sits at the hub of outdoor adventure in Summit County between Breckenridge, Dillon, Frisco, Keystone and other great mountain resort towns.

The pine beetle had its way with the trees on this course and as a result hundreds of trees have been cut down. What used to one of the better courses in Colorado has been downgraded quite a bit. The tight winding fairways have been replaced by mounds of wood chips.

Even with the beetle kill, the course still has charm and can be challenging. The first half of the course was still pretty well in tact when I played, but you could see trees mark for removal. It is a shadow of it former self, but it is still one of the better courses in Colorado and a must play for any disc golfer vacationing in the area.
