Pros:
The course setting at 10,000 ft is a great start, it's absolutely beautiful up there. The front 9 is for the hulk arms and the back 9 more for intermediate players. I was made aware that the courses were originally designed as two separate 9 hole courses. The course flows thru the terrain well, lots of elevation changes, aspen groves, tight fairways and open fairways with guarded baskets and nice tee boxes.They have pro and am tee boxes on most of the holes. The tee pads are a rubber surface that works quite well and it's the only surface the forest service will let them put in. I like that after 9 holes you are back at the lodge where you can refuel and get rid of trash and use a restroom if needed.
Cons:
It was a little rough starting out on the front 9 with all of those long holes, would be nice if the two courses were blended together a little more as to spread out some of those monster holes. With just a few tweaks this course could be great, it has all of the terrain mtn disc golfers love.The pricing for DG'ers using the lift needs to be worked on a little, can be a little expensive from what I understand. You can hike this one and play at no cost but you better be in GOOD shape cause it's a haul up and down the mtn.
Other Thoughts:
Justin, Moss, Dawson, Brian, Kat and Krissy Thank you soooo much for your hospitality. We really enjoyed our time spent with you guys and can't wait to come back again, yes I will bring some of the colorado posse to check out RRDGC. Oh and Nate thanks for setting this all up even though you couldn't make it.

Pros:
Amazing views, technical mixed with distance, high mountian weather. I found the holes to be alot of fun. Big elevation change in and around aspens and cedar trees. Tee boxes are nice with a since foam rubber mat on top of a built up and leveled box area.
Cons:
Hole descriptions are not all completely accurate. Some of them are also hard to read do to the paper was not laminated and water got to them. Directions from hole to next tee needs to be better. Eighther at tee box or at the hole.
Other Thoughts:
A must stop is at Sitzmark sporting goods and Mark the store manager. Very knowledgeable about dg and the courses in the area. The whole area, Red River, Angelfire, and Taos are cool to check out. There is a course at the top of Angelfire ski area as well.
