Mixed feelings drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 2, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

Variety of distances and generally fun to play.

Easy to navigate.

Almost feels like three different types of courses.

Cons:

Almost feels like three different types of courses.

Course is in a public park so playing some holes requires dealing patiently with non-disc golfers.

The shorter, wooded holes are repetitive and holes 12-15 almost feels like you are playing the same hole over and over.

Hole 16 is poorly designed. The fairway is basically one of the roads in the park. Even if traffic is low on the road there are often vehicles parked along the road and you basically have to throw over the vehicles.

Other Thoughts:

As a stand alone course it would probably rate a little higher but sharing park space with other users can be annoying at times.

The variety of holes is enjoyable. There are technical, park type holes with grass and large trees to navigate, there are more rugged open holes that are typical of most Colorado courses, and there are shorter, tightly wooded holes that require accuracy over distance.

I would say there are five excellent holes, about five average but fun holes, and the rest are just kind of ho-hum.

Overall it was a generally fun course to play but I wouldn't go out of my way to play it. But, if you happen to be passing through Sterling and have time to get a round in I wouldn't steer you away from playing it.

Grasshopper Take Over 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 10, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

There were some very lengthy holes, which gave you a nice chance to stretch out your arm. The baskets were nice, and they were in challenging locations.

Cons:

The creek water smelled terrible. There were no tee boxes. The course is entirely in a low land area so I practically had to swim to the baskets. The back were not only difficult to shoot, but very confusing. Hole lengths were also not listed on the back 9.

Other Thoughts:

I did play this in the morning, and the dew made the water problem more apparent.
