Failed to use key things 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 8, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

+Practice basket
+Tees are gravel but look well maintained and were decent enough for this course
+Some elevation here (see cons)
+Nice baskets
+Bathrooms, parking lot, easy to access across bridge.
+Course was wide open so it was easy to navigate
+Ok tee signs
+Definitely a few ace runs here for most players.
+You could make some safari holes up and down the hill. It would be better than the current layout.
+Views of the Flat Irons

Cons:

-Totally failed to use the elevation. There was one short hole partially up the hill and no real downhill hole. They could have made a fun top of the world shot with views of the Flat Irons in the background
-Totally failed to use the creek or ponds as hazards. Instead they meander through the open fields.
-No trees come into play. There are some on the edges of the park but not in any normal throwing lane.
-Could lose a disc in the long grass.
-Distances on tee signs were off.
-Hole 9's basket and the practice basket are easily mixed up. Especially since you can't see 9 off the tee.
-Pedestrians using path that is the fairway for 1-3.

Other Thoughts:

-Play here if you live in one of the zillions of apartments that are nearby or if you are a course bagger. Maybe if you want to practice putting or approaching as this course probably gets very little traffic.
-Normally open courses at least have water, distance, elevation, etc as challenges but they decided not to use any of those and as a result made a pretty boring course.

Flat, Windy, Short, Boring 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 30, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is at least a course for locals to come get out on. 3 or 4 holes are easily ace-able, and all 9 are ace-able if you have a big arm. It seems like people are rarely here, so this is a good course to practice putting or midrange shots without disturbance. Course is easy to follow, despite what it looks like when you first arrive.

Cons:

This course is half an ace-race, and half an easy open-field course. The course is just extremely easy, lacks all creativity, and leaves the player feeling like they never want to come back. Besides hole 7, every shot is the same with extremely subtle variations. Many shots are between 150-200 feet, making birdies a sure thing. If you are a reasonably skilled discer, every hole is easily birdie-able. While it is an open field, the field is filled with knee high grass that can sometimes consume a white, brown, or yellow disc. This is also a quick play, so it feels like a waste of time to play an easy, boring, and quick course.

Other Thoughts:

If i was a local, I may come here to practice putting or get a quick disc fix... but the easy nature of the course would more than likely not even give me that fix. It's good to get out there if you like to play in an open windy field.

Wind 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 22, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Easy to follow course.

Cons:

This course is in an open area that gets very windy. The holes are very short as well. Only one long hole the rest are crazy short. There are no trees that come into play, kind of boring.
