Rampart Range 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 30, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

Ample parking right next to practice basket and hole one. Baskets are in great shape, tee signs with pin placement are adaquate and the next tee signs help a lot with navigation. Course design takes advantage of elevation changes and shrub oak on many of the holes.

Cons:

Unfortunately many of the holes are in the open with minimal tree coverage on the course. Generally the holes are a straight throw and not a lot of shaping of shots required. The first few holes are promising with tree coverage but opens up from there. Hit, dry and dusty in the the summer months. Those newer to the game may appreciate the straight lines but for a more experienced player, more shot shaping is needed.

Other Thoughts:

Overall a solid course that makes use of what it can with the terrain. Bring lots of water in the summer as the sun will cook you.

Quick Course with a Lovely View. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 22, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Scenery is smashing. Playing a round with Pike's Peak in the background is as cool as it gets. Worth it for this alone.-Excellent tee pads with baskets in good condition.-Wind socks on a pair of hard to find holes.-Decent signage keeps you on track.-Overall frustration free, fun course to cruise through.

Cons:

-Low shot variety required. Whatever your default drive/up shot is, you can use it on all 18 holes. Only a con of you want to be challenged creatively. This is a pro for beginners.-Brush can be prickly. Try and stay out of the roughs! Not terrible, but it's Colorado, so it shouldn't be surprising.-Could see it being quite busy with non DG folks during good weather days.

Other Thoughts:

Took a pair of friends out for their first time disc golfing. This was a great place for it, as there are only a few very obvious areas/obstacles to avoid. This allowed them to work on developing a consistent drive & up shots over the course of the round, and limited frustration. For experienced players, this is a good course to breeze through when you've got a little spare time, or tune up your power drive; but don't expect a real challenge. I think there's definitely a place for this course in a typical course rotation for more care free rounds or rounds with newbies.

2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 16, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

- good condition Discatcher baskets
- concrete tee pads
- good quality tee signs
- "next tee" signs all over the course
- good variety of shot types to challenge most players
- good variety of distances ranging from 225 feet to over 400 feet
- the course almost starts and finishes in the exact same spot

Cons:

- lots of steep cliffs and hillsides where someone could get hurt trying to retrieve a disc. It's also just very difficult for an in shape person to retrieve.
- a very long walk between holes 10 and 11 with no real good signage to point you in the right direction except for one about halfway there which is around 500 feet from the previous basket
- one tee pads is just dirt
- at least a couple of tee signs are missing

Other Thoughts:

A quality course for the property. It's just a very rugged piece of land that definitely wouldn't suit all abilities and ages.

Nice variety with beautiful mountain views 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 4, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

A nice variety of holes, most with elevation changes
Very low conflict with pedestrian traffic
Beautiful views of Pikes Peak and the Rampart Range

Cons:

No trash can until hole 10 (please pack your trash)
In the summer, scrub oaks, yucca, and tall grass provide opportunities to lose discs

Other Thoughts:

The baskets, in general, are in the open. There are no trees providing a "ceiling" for approach shots. That said, the scrub oak provides interesting obstacles -- mostly low-level, although holes 1 and 18 feature towering scrub oaks. And there are enough natural obstacles that can get you in trouble (e.g., #8 one can get stuck in the tree grove)

Actually pretty good once you get used to it 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 17, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Lots of variety for how short the holes are

well maintained

Hard to lose a disc

Great for beginners just starting to learn more technical shots.

Cons:

Some holes are very hard to fine the tees or pins for.

Your first time there you might find yourself walking up to a small cliff instead of to the next tee box.

The flora is quite sharp in some places.

No great driving opportunities.

Other Thoughts:

I can't believe how solid of a course this was once I knew where all the placements were. It's not super technical, but for a beginner it would provide a ton of challenge, and for the more experienced players it is at least a nice course with great mountain views.

Great course for its age 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 15, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Level change= Very few holes are a level elevation shot. Almost every one has an uphill or downhill in it. You really have to push your uphill shots and make sure they don't land on edge for a roll.

-Use of natural obstacles= Trees, bushes, and hills are everywhere here. They use them really well to create a fun course.

- Privacy= When I saw it was next to a park, I was worried I'd be dealing with picnic people and dog walkers. But this is secluded from the park and is really just a disc golf park.

- Signage= It's laminated paper with footage written on it, but the hole is clear and it's accurate. What more do you want?

Cons:

-Age= Nothing wrong here, but the pros of an older course is that things are broken in a little more. It's hard finding the exact next tee sometimes, as paths aren't worn in yet. It will get there, just not there yet.

-CACTUS= Co Springs has a lot of cactus at their courses, but this one has a lot. I'm still finding quills on my discs a couple days later.

Other Thoughts:

This course will host some amazing tournaments. The view of the mountains is as spectacular as any course I've ever played on. Would recommend to anyone.
