- Beautiful, easily accessible course and an amazing FREE service that the resort provides for disc golfers. Plenty of parking with a super short walk to tee #1.
- We caught this course during the fall leaves changing and it could not have been more beautiful playing in and out of yellow, red and orange aspens!
- Hole #1 plays over an open mountain road and is a nice preview of what is to come. Make sure you warm up first so you can really fling it and clear the road.
- A majority of the course plays cross-hill, so you are sort of contouring your way around (up hill to the left, downhill to the right) for large portions of the course. Although it gets dense off the fairway, the course is intelligently designed and it is actually pretty hard to lose a disc (with the exception of holes #16 and #17... more on that later...)
- Towards the end of the F9 you start to get into a really fun collection of holes that play up and down across a large gully, shooting over and across a bend in the mountain road. (sorry I don't remember the exact #s on those holes...) This collection of shots was really fun as you could let your drives fly across open space and easily spot where you disc would lay. This collection of shots ends with a downhill/crosshill shot towards a covered deck area that looks like it is used for concessions during ski season. The covered deck creates a U-shaped sort of backing for the green which is fun, and this is a little spot where you can catch some shade and relax for a minute. No smoking per course rules.
- Some of the holes play slightly uphill and by the time you reach the final 6-7 holes, you will have gained enough elevation to enjoy some longer, open downhill shots. Holes #15, 18 and 19 were really fun and you could let go of precision a bit and crank some beautiful drives.
- Yes, you read correctly, this is a 19 hole course!

The main things that kept this course from receiving a 4 or 4.5 rating from me were holes #16 and #17. Not sure what went on here with these holes, but they have absolutely no fairway and you are all but guaranteed to lose at least one disc between these two holes. These are long, downhill shots into super dense trees, blind landing areas so you really don't stand a chance. I think these were just too ambitious, and course designers should consider shortening the hole distance or trimming out a fairway... considering the trickiness of cutting down trees in a ski area, shortening the pin placement may be the way to go...
Just to drive the point home, while I was looking for one of my lost discs, I managed to find two other lost discs that were not my own... definitely a bermuda triangle

Me and my friend agreed that if we played this course again, we would skip these two holes.

Thanks Steamboat! After play, try snagging a burger at backdoor grill.

Excellent hole design with a good array of both uphill and downhill shots. Baskets are well kept even though they are temporary due to the short season which the course is open. If you're into hiking this is the best hike I've taken in Colorado thus far on a disc golf course, the calves definitely would shape up nicely after a month or two of this one.

Excellent hole design loses some of it's luster when you can't find the next hole. Absolutely ZERO tee signs, distance markers, or arrows to the next box. I only found my way around by following paths of half trampled grass. Some of the tee boxes are so short you can't even take two steps into your drive. Try throwing 330 up hill with only two steps. The rough is extremely thick and EATS discs, but that's not so much a con as an observation.

Loved the holes, hated the navigation but the holes were so good that the course still deserves a good rating, because once you know the course, navigating it isn't an issue anymore.

Long open shots. Epic views.

Need benches.

I was in the area on business & played with a local. Lucky, because I would've never found my way around on my own. I plsayed it a long time ago so I don't remember much except it had some epic long shots.

Some open holes, many are wooded. Allows the finesse palyers a greater level of success. Many forehand shots necesary. Lots of elevational changes. Great views. Many unique layouts.

Dirt tees. It can take about 2-2.5 hurs to play. Hole 5 easy to lose discs.

Defintely worth playing!
