This is one of those courses that you tell all your friends about. It is a spectacular course secluded in beautiful Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. If you like to hike through the open wilderness and love a challenging disc golf course, then you won't be disappointed with this technical masterpiece. The area is a great escape from the busy courses where I live in Fort Collins. Sundance requires a variety of medium to long shots as well as great accuracy in order to hold a reasonable score. Throw a bad tee shot on most holes and you will likely struggle to make par. The course plays through dense woods and open meadows. Although many holes are under 300', most of them require a tight gap shot through thick woods to get to the pin. Hole #2 and #17 are prime examples. Course maps are available for finding your way.

It does cost money to play, but the experience alone is well worth it. Tight wooded holes can destroy your score while others require strategic placement rather than trying for distance. Some holes have large rocks that can scar a disc pretty badly. This may be a frustrating course for inexperienced players. You might want to wear your hiking shoes and bring warm clothing just in case the weather goes bad. It does get windy often in this area.

Remember to tell the owners how great of a course it is! Stop by The Wright Life in Fort Collins to meet the course designer and get info.

A very scenic and challenging course for the average Discer, with lots of variety from hole to hole. Bring a full repertoire of shots and accuracy if you want to beat this course. Hole 17 is the toughest hole there in my opinion; if you thread the needle through a wall of trees on your drive you can birdie it, but if you get tangled up in the trees you can 5 or 6 it too. Long wide open holes, short tight holes, uphill, downhill - just a great variety from open field to moderately wooded to heavily wooded.

I give it a 5 because of the overall experience of the course and its environs. Every time I visit Sundance it's an awesome experience in a beautiful setting.

The hosts, Dan and Ellen, are friendly folks who have a high regard for Discers and make you feel welcome.

The beauty and serenity of this place at 8,000 feet high in the Colorado Rockies relaxes you and makes the real world seem far away.

I love seeing the horses out on the course, and they don't seem to be bothered by discs. The herds of deer and occasional coyote running through further add to the experience.

Get there early in the morning, pay for the whole day and lunch (you won't be disappointed), and soak up the experience. The spread of food they put on for lunch during The Grateful Disc Tournament is out of this world.

A challenging course in the beautiful mountains of Colorado.

Sundance Trail is a dude ranch about just a few miles this side of civilization from Red Feather Lakes Colorado. There is not one single impression to take from this course other than awe. It is long, there are three holes over 500 feet and two holes under 200 but don't expect not to hit a tree on the shorties. The course has a little bit of everything. Open and tight drives, open and tight approach shots, many elevation changes, including a small mountain and a pond. The course is pretty well marked and the baskets all have neon flag poles on top of them so they are easy to find. A nice touch for scanning a forest for your target. The trails to the next tee box are well groomed and you would have to just not pay attention to get lost. You may see horses, I was thankful to not get hoofed in the face. You may see some of the dude ranch guests with climbing gear, but you are pretty much alone, its awesome! The people running the show talked about playing there in the winter, which sounds great to me. Holes 10 and 11 are the best two hole combo I've ever played and hole 17 is so thick wooded that if you were playing against a friend you might be able to make up your score if you got lucky and he/she got unlucky. The tee areas are unpaved, which in this setting, feels better.

You have to pay to play. There are animals everywhere. It is a long drive.

For only $3 I got to roam around an otherwise private part of the Rockies and a full color map of the course which I will keep in my bag for the memories.

There are not many courses where you get to climb a mountain in the middle of a round. This course is top notch, one of the best in Colorado.
