Welcome to Colorado! (full disclosure: I was born in oceanside)
Hi Hyzer Ale - I can thoroughly respect your desire to research this matter, considering your near future/relocation. What part of town will you be relocating to? Whats your home course now?
I have played flip city and phantom falls which are highly rated on this website, and I love all kinds of courses but you might tell us what type of courses you like so that we could predetermine where not to send you ...
I wish I could report that this is a full on disc mecca but...
the front range from boulder to pueblo is fairly meh. Dirt Merchants are really fond of land here and so disc golf courses get designated as a possibility/priority that is just slightly higher than a landfill.
Obviously, when you hit the mountains EVERYTHING is beautiful, and the courses reflect that but then again, we're in Colorado, so if you're in the mountains and its winter you take your discs and melt them down to wax your snowboard.
There is also a course that was just pulled but I haven't seen any announcements regarding why. I would love for somebody to give us the specifics as to why Colorado Heights University just pulled their course because hyzer ale has the right to know what people are like here. (personal anti thread jacking leverage perhaps? lol)
I went to the CHU course once and was told (after throwing 2 or 3 Holes) that I had to leave. I hadn't purchased a membership for the year so I wasn't allowed to play. What kind of Dicks have ever stood in front of you and told you not to throw because it was their park? I've been having this same argument for the last 25 years regarding where I can skateboard and where I can snowboard, so I've heard the rhetoric before.
The long and short of it is that when I lived in Texas, Michigan and Tennessee, I played league and made friends. I haven't seen the league here yet, and I guess its because it travels? there doesn't seem to be a real presence at " each course " of someone wanting to run things, weekly and maybe thats our job, right?
Also - Please watch out for Cottonwood in Colorado springs which should rate itself as the course which needs to be pulled more than any other course in America. or El Paso County at least.
If people tell you that you cant play the nicest course along the front range, which is undoubtedly sakuna pines in Black Forest, unless you "know people", tell them that you know them. They are located in the office cabin at La Foret retreat/conference center adjacent to the course. Just check in by telling them your intentions, asking politely, and thanking them gratuitously. No Smoking, no dogs.
I know you'll survive, and I'm sure you'll thrive, Colorado is wonderful! see you out there buddy!
