RMV starts out with some easy warm-up holes on the flat areas surrounding the camp. A few long field shots allows you to open up your arm before you start your journey up the mountain with hole 7.

The mountain section of this course follows a camp trail with tees along the route. Navigation here couldn't be simpler and this is where the course really starts the challenge.

The uphill shots along the path are wide but if you can't throw straight, you will be taking the long route up. The rough isn't totally punishing, but you will regret not staying on the trail.

Large trees give all the shade you need, while providing some great challenging woods shots.

The last handful of holes finish in the field sections of the camp with the last two being some longer shots to once again stretch the arm.

Some players may not like the mix of tees. Natural or rubber tees don't bother me, but for this course to score higher, consistency would help. The tees and tee signs are lacking compared to other mountain courses in the area.

The camp sits right off of I-70 and the highway noise is constant and noticeable. Not a 'true' con, but it is worth mentioning.

DG is not the focus of this camp, and some of the holes felt overgrown. They do a great job keeping the grounds and trails in shape, but some holes have no clear route to the basket. I'm a fan of disc flight, and throwing high spike hyzers to clear overgrown fairways doesn't really excite me.

We played this course during the COVID summer and camp was closed. Normally the course is off-limits from May through August so if you'd like to play during the summer instead, 2020 looks like your year. Keep in mind that the course fee has been bumped to $10 per person. I felt it was still worth it.

My final thought...if you're in the area, and the schedule works out, you should play this course. It's not perfect...some tees need attention and some areas need trimming and mowing, but the challenging shots up the mountain are what make this course fun. It calls for a lot of different shots to be successful so bring your full bag of tricks.

-Great scenery and part of a camp that has many nicer amenities (bathrooms etc.)

-There were a lot of different shot requirements on this course. Some extreme uphill shots, extreme downhill shots, left to right, right to left in heavily wooded terrain as well as rocky terrain.

-quite a few of the holes had concrete tee pads but not all

-Some of the holes were very fun to throw

-$5 was a reasonable price to give this course a shot considering it was a course on private land.

-The navigation at points in this course was very puzzling. We often found ourselves scratching our heads wondering where we should be going next, often times on the first like 8 holes wandering around fairways scouting for the next tee box. We spent a lot of time doing this and resulted in an early buzz kill for the course. This navigation seemed to get a bit better as the course progressed passed the first holes, but still required some scouting and the map seemed to offer very little assistance.

-Being that the course navigation wasn't intuitive at all points, there is no worse course in the area for having to scout where the pin locations are etc. The terrain here is very steep on some holes and involves a heck of a hike/workout up and down the mountain side. Of all courses we played in this Colorado region, this course involved some of the most aggressive terrain to navigate. I do not feel like being unsure of where to go next when it involves climbing up and down a mountain side like this to find the next pad.
-It's a private camp most of the year, making its playable season very short.

-Although its only $5 to play and the money goes for a good cause, the course as a whole should likely be a free course. It is understandable, however, why they do charge to have outsiders come in and play on their property.

-This is very steep, rocky terrain that can easily result in twisted ankles, stubbed toes, bloody trip and falls etc. Through portions of the course you are one faulty step away from a round or even disc trip ruiner. This was our first course we played when we got to Colorado and I will be honest, I was concerned that I may mis-step and wreck an ankle and completely blow my whole trip to Colorado down the toilet. I will say of all the courses we navigated, this course had the most footing hazards no question.

I give this course a true rating of 3.75. I have rounded down to a 3.5 because the general rating of the course right now is above what I feel it should be rated and the rating scale does not allow one to rate in .25 increments. Although if this course was in my neighborhood I definitely would not complain, it is a course that if I ever went back to Colorado I would likely just pass up. Between some of the navigation issues, footing, physical exertion etc, we felt like we were doing more work than having fun at points. It is still a good course that I feel everyone should play at least once if in the area, but I do not feel the need to ever go out of my way to play it again when I go back to Colorado for disc. My group played this course as well as Ghost Town on the day we got to Colorado straight from the airport as they are very close to each other. At the end of the day we all agreed that we wish we would have only played Ghost Town all day with our daylight and skipped Rocky Mountain Village. I have seen in a few reviews people mentioning this could be a 5 rating if this or that happens, i honestly have to debate that and in fact had to scroll up to make sure i was still on the reviews for the same course. Its a nice course, but good grief, any course could be a 5 rating if this or that changes. Add 9 holes, make the holes better etc, it can be said about any course. Don't get wrapped into thinking you are going to be playing close a 5 unless you have extremely low standards for a 5. Not trying to bash the course, just give those considering playing it a realistic expectation.

Difficult course. First third relatively open. Middle third heavy woods, tight fairways. Last third open, longer with great views. Careful of pedestrians. It's an Easter Seals Camp.
Very near I-70. Terrific views.

This year it is closed in summer through August.
Can be windy on the last third.
