Best you could do with the land available 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 4, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Good baskets make for confident putting

-Not busy, you can throw multiple shots of each hole w/o being pushed

-Used the land to the best they could. The biggest tree makes the hardest hole

-Some fun ace shots. 5 is a fun anny toss

Cons:

-Almost NO trees. They make use of the ones they have, but it's essentially an open shot most of the time

-HS course, so you can't during school.

- Layout could be improved, and you could even add some more baskets

Other Thoughts:

You can't expect much from a HS course, they did the best they could given the restraints.

Getting Kids into DG 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 19, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Nice baskets
-Gets kids into DG. It serves its purpose that way. I would have loved to have played disc golf in gym class.
-Lots of ace chances here.
-Probably won't lose a disc here.

Cons:

-No concrete tees. Tees are marked by squares of concrete with the number on. Can be hard to find.
-Like many school courses, crammed into small area.
-Course could be dangerous, especially during school and sporting events.
-Short
-No elevation
-Very few trees
-Overall not very challenging or interesting. Little variation from hole to hole.

Other Thoughts:

This course serves its purpose at the school. The land clearly isn't ideal for a disc golf course but something is better than nothing and I would play this course if I lived in the area. It is the only course in Loveland and the course across the interstate in Johnstown isn't much better. This course would be good for introducing newer players to the sport or for getting in a really quick round. I wouldn't really recommend playing here unless you live in the area or are a course bagger like me.

Ok School Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 18, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Nice baskets that are in good shape and catch well.
-Several holes present ace opportunities
-Located on a pleasant school campus (plays on mostly all grass).
-Almost no chance of losing a disc (unless you throw one on top of the school, but I don't see that happening very often).
-Holes 5, 8, 9 are fun holes that use the few trees located on them well.
-Good place for putter and mid-range practice.
-The open field that holes 6, 7, and 8 play through is a good place to practice your drives.

Cons:

-The tee-pads can be hard to find (look for the worn patches in the grass). We couldn't the tee-pad 4, but I think it should be located somewhere near the baseball diamond.
-Tee-pads are just dirt patches with a small concrete pad, with the hole number set into the ground.
-No tee-signs
-On school grounds, so there can be a lot of traffic on the school grounds and you probably can't play it during school hours.
-The field that 6,7, and 8 play through can get muddy after rain. (A few years back this field use to be full of prairie dogs and it was really mud. It looks like the prairie dogs are gone now and it doesn't seem to get as bad as it used to).
-The course is not very challenging and doesn't really force you into using any specific shot.
-Most of the holes are wide open with very few obstacles and are not very exciting.

Other Thoughts:

Good course to introduce a beginner to the game. The course is not very exciting, but if you are in Loveland and want to play a round, this is really your only option. Don't go out of your way to play this course.

Nothing Special 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 2, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

The only pro is the fact that it is disc golf course to play in Loveland and that it has baskets that are numbered.

Cons:

This course goes threw the high school and also a near by dirt area by the school. There are no tee pads, at least that I could see. All of the holes are very short and there are only 9 of them. Can't really play while school is in secession, at least the campus police didn't like it.

Other Thoughts:

I'm sure that there was a small budget to make this course so they did what they could. There is a 18 hole course about 6 miles East of this course bu I-25, Highly recommend that one verses this one.
