Good elevation changes, lots of blind shots, nice hike, as it is private most days there are very few people playing. Quiet and peaceful, there are some very good ace possibilities, some challenging hillside shots. The scenery is fantastic, I have seen lots of deer.

Dirt tees, poorly marked holes, this is really only for theblind shots (there used to be signs), when the slopes get wet it can be very treacherous (the mud being akin to axle grease), this also goes for the boulders at the bottom drainage, only one set of basket placements.

Out of the 5 Colorado Springs courses, this happens to be my favorite, mostly because it is private and there seem to be fewer teens out here. Play it on a weekend and you don't have to worry about security throwing you out, unless you are making a total nuisance out of yourself. Be conscientious about your trash, there are a few bags hanging out on the course, but if you pack it in, pack it out, would be very easy for this to become a "Closed" course. LeewayeDiscGolf's review of the holes is excellent. If you find yourself out here during the week and want to keep a low profile an alternate way of playing is starting at #2 playing to #6 instead of hitting #7, cross the drainage to #18 short walk to tee #10 play normally until you finish #17 and recross the drainage to finish up with 7,8,9, and last with 1 ending near the parking. this keeps you from the long walk between 9 and 10 along the road. Also the course "flows" better this way. Most people seem to play the front nine more than the back, and the alternate play lets you occasionally skip some of the groups without playing through. Less time having to talk to security the better, if you do be prepared to either know someone who works there or be asked to leave. If asked, go graciously, don't become the "reason" why it becomes a "Closed" course.

Not too busy making it a great place to play a midday game and have the course to yourself. A great mix of fun and challenging holes will instantly get you hooked. A great gem of a mountain course just 2 minutes off the interstate.

Tee boxes could use great improvement and finding some holes can be difficult for first timers to the course. Lack of respect by some users leaves the course quite messy at times since it is only cleaned by volunteers. Please pack out your trash. Private course and the parking lot is patrolled by security, so if you dont know someone who works there it's not wise to linger. Being courtious and rspectful goes a long way with the gaurds who patrol the area.

Just a great place to throw a round

Good all around coarse. Makes you feel like a pro when you can get a 7 under. It can also make you feel like a bum when you roll down a few hills. Good place to go

Short holes will test your mid range game, but if you play here all the time you'll lose your arm. Too many kids that trash the place, groups of 8, people all over the coarse,freestlye, or just too lazy to walk from 9 to 10

What a wonderful use of land owned by corporate America! Hewlett Packard DGC is set on a beautiful landscape, overlooking the Colorado Rockies including Pikes Peak.

Tee pads are natural, marked by a laying 4x4. Most holes have tee signs, some are missing. Some info on the signs are incomplete. Baskets are DGA Mach 3s, in very good condition.

Elevation is a factor on almost the entire course. Alot of uphill and downhill drives, upshots and putts. An enormous amount of risk/reward is involved, where laying up may pay great dividens. Vegetation isn't very dense on the course, but creates interesting obsticles.

Holes are quite unique to each other. No repetition at HP. There are some ace runs on the course, but no garanteed birdies on this course.

The course has a nice flow. Tee pads not to far from previous basket, but not close enough to create a hazard.

Course plays mostly along a gulley. Wind can be a factor, since the course is set in a valley. Beautiful scenery. This course is a hike, especially if you spend any time searching for a disc.

A few cons come along with the course at HP. None of these would deter me from playing here, but might include upgrades or improvements that could make it a higher rated course.

The elevation matched with the placement of baskets could leave you searching for shots. Its a good idea to have a spotter up the fairway, just to watch for rollaway discs which will occur quite often.

No trash cans located on the course. This has caused a problem on a couple locations on the course.

Tee signs are not exactly sufficient. Tee signs with complete information on about half of the holes. Some that are standing do not include complete information. Playing with a local or bringing a map would be very helpful.

HP is a private course, located on private property. Locals say its no problem to play the course most of the time, but have heard of instances where someone has been kicked off the course. Don't give security a reason to keep you from enjoying the course. It's probably a must play in the Colorado Springs area.

I played the course with locals who played the holes in a unique order;
2-6, 18, 10-17, 7-9, 1.
After looking at a map I see how the order we played the holes helped the course flow, and usually isn't difficult to play out here. Course traffic tends to be fairly light, as it is one of the lesser played courses in Colorado Springs.

If you have the opportunity check it out. Scenic hiking and disc golf? What more could you ask for?

Great place to play. Like a true course the front 9 are on one side of the ravine, and the back 9 are on the other side. It reminds of a small Conifer. A lot of great dog legs e.g. 2, 3, and 5. Has 2 short holes but if you over shoot it your in trouble as the are big drops offs e.g. 14 and 16.

Tee pads could have been better, even with the dirt, but concrete would be great. Needs better signage on the back nine.

Bring water pretty good hike. Not any really big arm shots but none the less great course.-To get to the back nine, follow the street down across the bridge. The tee box is on the other side.

This course is awesome with a really good layout. I read some other reviews on how it could be layed out better, or the tee boxes are too small or they are made of dirt. Whatever. This course is awesome just the way it is! I compare this course to Conifer/Beaver Ranch, just not as extreme. Also has the feel of Red Rocks Community College course, but has 18 instead of 9.
All the holes have different names, VERY COOL!

Just a couple of cons-
1-The fact that it is a "private course" is lame. That course is so awesome that it should be available for the public. I mean HP got their money from the public to build that course anyways. So why not let the public use it?
2-to get to the back nine, follow the street down across the bridge. The tee box is on the other side. There is no map that tells you this and me and my friend were stuck for awhile, climbing up and down looking for the 10 tee box.

Bring water on a hot day because you will need it. If you get lost wait for the group behind you or watch where the group in front of you went.

Elevation was a nice challening factor due to the fact I'm from WI. Weekday discing was very sparse on the course where as weekends were fairly busy.

To few trees for my liking but the elevation makes up for that.

Fun course, wind is a factor because of the altitude. very good designing of the holes. I liked the fact that every hole is named as well.

Lots of variety of shots here! Long striaght shots to shorter more technical shots. Uphill and downhill shots. A few open shots, but most are either heavily wooded or with some shrubs to get in the way. The front nine is easier then the back where careful placement of your apporach shot is required or else it will roll back down the hill. Baskets were in decent shape. Secluded, no other people in the area except to throw discs.

Signs, what happened to them? As time goes on, more are missing/vandalized. Print out the map before you go or you can easily get turned araound. Definate navigation issues on the back nine as to where to go and where to throw. Why must people do such things? The teepads are hard to find in the back due to a lack of signs and the teepad itself is mainly just a piece of wood on the ground. The teepads are getting a bit worn and uneven. Trash is everywhere on this course from beer bottles/cans and even diapers! It is terrible what others have done to this course. No respect at all!

I really liked this course and the challenge it provides that is hard to find in the surrounding area. The back nine will surely challenge many due to baskets being placed on steep hills. If you don't stick your upshot, then you might have your disc roll far downhill from the basket. Play conservative or you you may struggle to get a bogey on the back half. The lack of signs and the navigation issues in the back part of this course really hurts it. I walked many fairways trying to figure out where to go, very frustrating. Lots of blind shots. New signs, new teepads and open to the public and I could easily give this course a 4.0. In general a good course and one to play if in the area. It is unfortunate that this course couldn't get developed more. The land is just perfect for an awesome course that could easily fit in 27+ holes. Since it is on private land, I don't think that will happen.

This course is beautiful and rugged. Situated in the foothills of the Rockies makes for a nice getaway round. I was just visiting, so I was blown away by the views. There are some very challenging and unique shots offered. This course is one of the best I've ever seen for elevation changes. There are several holes on this course that are very unforgiving if you "go for it."

Dirt tees, FATIGUE (this course is a lot of climbing!), and the possibility of being kicked off due to it being a private course. This course is a little short overall.

Played while in the area with some locals. This course has virtually no traffic. It was worth it to get off the beaten path and throw a round. Truly breathtaking views if you are a visitor. I probably should have more to say, but in the end, I just thoroughly had fun during the round.

To me there just isn't that many pros to this course. Scenery is good.

Poor course layout. When I go there (which I haven't in a while) I just think about how the course could be laid out. If they had put in a few bridges, so that you could play back and forth across the valley, it would be a much better course. There are also no alternate pin positions. This could be a great course, but it just isn't.

Once thought about how to put a good Safari course out here. Would require bridges. It's just too bad that someone with no knowledge of course design put in this course. Could be so much better!

I gave this course a 4.5 because for a short course, it delivers a very good mix of holes and terrain and is extremely fun. It's located very close to I-25 and is very easy to find, and you don't get any highway noise. The scenery is amazing and there is a great view of Pikes Peak. There are tons of photo opportunities along this course. Some holes require you to scout ahead to find the basket. #1 has a giant tree centered in the fairway and the basket sits atop a 5' wide ridge which falls off to either side. There is almost always a bag for trash in the bushes by #1's tee. #2 tees by the street and does play blind off the tee. There are twin pine trees by the basket to use as landmarks. A big gulley is waiting if you over throw this hole as well as #3's basket area. #3 tees by the guardrail, right turning, and features a significant elevation drop from tee to hole. A thicket awaits over throws and a gulley waits for those who come up short. After #3 follow the most obvious trail over to #4. This hole plays atop a dam of sorts. 20' wide with rocks and trees to the right and a good sized drop and hole #5 to the left. A rock filled gulley also sits just past the basket. #5 plays against a mini cliff to the left and sits below #4's tee. #6 plays straight forward with your first glimpse off the willow filled creek on your left to play head games. #7 is very short but technical. You throw up and over a tree covered rise into a depression. Good lookin' hole. #8 plays as a left turning hole around giant trees. #9 plays back almost to #1's tee. Depending on your arm, this is one of the only long shot holes. If you fade hard left the cliff may come into play. After #9 walk to the street and follow the guardrail around over the bridge to #10's tee. #10 plays straight forward with #18 on it's left. #11 lives up to it's name in the warmer months, Snake Pit. Slight right turner to a basket up on a hillside. This hillside loves to return your discs if they land wrong. #12 is above #11, sign is down, but log is still there. This hole plays blind to the right behind the thicket. #13's tee is above #12. Straight forward hole unless you fade heavily. #14 sits on the edge of the hillside. It's a good idea to have a spotter by the basket when you tee off this hole. #15 is the most heavily wooded hole here. #16 is all about accurate throws. It sits on a fairly steep hillside which ends in the willow filled creek. Another spotter hole. #17 is straight forward with the creek close by on your right. After #17 head back towards #10 to find the tee. This hole gives you the opportunity to finally let a big drive go. #10 sits on it's left and the biggest, rock filled part of the creek covers your right. Here you really notice the elevation change of this course. After #18 head up the trail towards the road to get back to the parking lot. This is when you realize what a hike this little course is.

There is always the chance you can be asked to leave. While the dirt tees are nice for my shoes, they do tend to dip down and are muddy at the first sign of moisture. It's not that bad though, as most holes are short enough that it feels like you are throwing your 2nd shot on a long course rather than a big tee shot. In the wet months the bottom 9 seems to stay frozen or muddy. In winter, #11 and #16 are very hard to walk on. On nice days this course can get extremely busy. This is also a popular spot for mountain bikes in the summertime, so watch yourself on the trails between holes. Being private, there are no restrooms.

Remember this course is private. Play respectfully and keep it clean. There are rumors that if the course gets too trashed that it will be pulled to protect the property. After #9 follow the trail to your left between the top and bottom halves of the course for a very cool trail with lots of photo ops. I recommend you play early to avoid the wind that Colorado Springs is so fond of. Watch your footing and respect the course and you will fall in love with this course. A short but technical course, HP is on my favorites list.

Great course, challenging, but not long, so good for those who can't crush drives. Good variety of holes. Back 9 is just frustrating enough (particularly fishing your disc out of the cattails when it keeps rolling down the hill on 17)

Footing on 3 is a little tricky.

Lately there has been a lot of trash, bottles, cans and other "junk" showing up at the tee boxes. If you are going to use this course, and I realize most people using it now have nothing to do with HP, please keep it clean! Pick up your trash! There has been serious talk of ripping out the baskets to keep the vandalism and trash from piling up on the property. Seriously, let's not lose this course!

Lightly used with challenging holes in a beautiful setting. From hole #1 shooting at the top of the ant hill to #7 shooting into a rocky tree lined bowl to pins perched on steep slopes this course is a really great golfing experience. Hole number three drops down 80-90 feet into a ravine and some of the worst lies I've ever seen. Pros should score very well here unless they run into the frequent winds that often scream down the foot hills. Rec golfers can also do well here as long as they can throw accurately.

As mentioned by others the tee boxes can be challenging. This favors the nimble X-over! It can get windy because of it's proximity to the mountains. The main thing that would make this course even better would be multiple pin positions.

Keep all but one of your long distance drivers in the trunk. This course begs for slower speed discs thrown under control. There is decent elevation change and fitness will help. I know someone who works at HP so I play as his guest but after dozen's of plays we have never been questioned. If you'd like to play this course then go out and have fun and help keep the place clean. I think that's why most golfer's don't get hassled is because for the most part golfers take good care of course.

Although very short, the holes are still challenging in places with trees, shrubs, wildlife (I seriously almost got destroyed by a good size buck on the course) and elevation changes. There is also a stream that runs through or along side a few holes that makes for a nasty hazard if you toss one in there. The back 9 is a solid hike to kill some extra calories. The scenery is also top notch like a lot of the courses in CO. Many holes are on sharp declines which requires your drives/approach shots to be deadly accurate in certain cases on the back 9. Since it is a private course and apparently no one who works at HP plays it so its very open with minimal traffic.

This is a private course so getting kicked off by the dude who cruises around is a real possibility or so I hear. The tee boxes are brutal in places. Apparently someone thought all dirt (unmaintained) with one tiny piece of wood was a good idea (it wasnt) There are signs but they arent very helpful. Tees and baskets can be hard to find at times. The back half is a decently long walk from 9. Go with someone who has played the course so you dont have to deal with it.

Play in the evening, after like 6 and you can avoid being bothered by the fun police who patrol HP. Wear good shoes when you play, there are some hikes and some really unstable ground you have to walk through. No sandals here boys and girls. Fun little course that promises a good time so check it out

Short, easy holes....Great scenery and you get a nice workout with the elevation changes on the back nine. The course is never crowded and I have not been booted yet (knock on wood).

Besides hole # 18, you can't huck a drive. The holes are all pretty short, with not much to them. Also, I wish the pin placements were not static.

It is hard to know how to get to the back nine if you haven't played there before. After hole nine, follow the road around until you see a few white signs marking the back nine.

This course has a huge variety of shots: hyzers, anhyzers, long and short. This gem of a course is hidden along a beautiful scene of mountains. I had a great time playing this course and found that it is more technical than Widefield and Cottonwood. Also, this course is full of elevation...bring your best hiking shoes. The top nine are a little shorter than the bottom nine.

The tees are natural, so if you go out to play after a rainfall, expect them to be muddy. On the bottom nine, some of the tees are marked so it's best to go with someone who's been there. Other than these two things, there aren't really any cons. What more could a disc-golfer need? Great shots with great surroundings! Grip it and rip it!

Remember that this course is private and for HP employees only! We didn't have any issues and had no issues. There were only two other golfers ahead of us. Also, there's a few chances to lose a disc if you're not careful. Check out the photos and see how beautiful of a course this is!

What a cool course!! This is a private course that my wife and I crashed and loved every minute of it. There are so many different looks on this course from the hole 1 pin placed on a 15 foot high mound to the hole 14 pin placed on the edge of a 75 foot very steep drop off into a ravine. A lot of holes are short, but some of these tee shots are scary and other are just plain cool. I loved hole 4 tee shot as a big winding shot to the right with the hole at least 70-80 feet below the tee area. The wind really started howling on the back 9, which made some of these tricky pin placements even more treacherous.

The tees are natural dirt with an inlaid plank. Most of them are uneven with wear, but I could easily overlook it.

This was my first mountain disc golf experience and I loved it. It is a private course, but people didn't wonder why we were there or try to kick us out. Instead, they actually helped us out by telling us where the pins were. There are many blind tee shots and it is definitely to your advantage to walk ahead and locate the pins.

We were staying in Marriott, which we found out is right next door to the course. If you are staying there, use the trail that leads from the outdoor pool and you will be there in about 5-7 minutes. If I worked at Hewlett Packard, I would play this every day. Living in Southwest Florida which varies from 5 to 10 feet above sea level, it was so much fun to traverse all of the elevation changes that this course covers. I am so glad that we crashed the party and I can't wait to play it again someday.

Since the course is private and you usually need to know someone that works at HP to play it, it doesn't ever get crowded which is awesome. Some of the holes are shorter than usual but the course makes up for the lack in distance by making some of the pin placements very hard and on steep hills.

There are only a few downsides to this course. One would be that the tee boxes are all natural dirt and a lot of them are uneven. Secondly this course is pretty hilly so be prepared for a work out. And lastly there is only one pin and one tee per hole.

I would recommend this course to anyone looking for a challenge on the course as well as finding it and not getting kicked off of it haha.
