Cons:
Based only on the first 8 holes I'd have to say this property is not the best place for a DG course at this time. The first 4 holes of the current course layout cross the parking lot, driveway, and multi-use trail at least once (and sometimes multiple times) on every hole. In addition, the weekend we were there, the rest of the course was covered with horses, riders, and huge truck/trailer combos making it completely unplayable. According to locals, this is a regular occurrence throughout the summer.
Much of the course is in low lying areas so spongy fairways, slippery, muddy tee pads, and holes completely underwater are not unusual.
The tee pads are a mix of dry, rocky dirt marked with orange spray painted corners (some at 90 degrees to the intended direction of travel), slippery clay marked with cones, and rubber mats with actual tee markers.
There seems to be no current map of the course and it appears the layout of the front 9 has changed a couple of times, so navigation is confusing and frustrating. In addition, many of the basket rings have been repainted a few times and several currently sport 2 and sometimes 3 different hole numbers on them, making navigation even more of an issue.
This property is inundated by prairie dogs so the entire course is covered with deep holes that make footing treacherous and sprained ankles a very real possibility.
Other Thoughts:
Based on the front 9 only, I'd have to say this course needs a redesign and some serious TLC to make this course worth playing.
Truly, given the quality of the other courses in the area, I'd have to say go elsewhere. Choose Frisco Peninsula Rec Area for the scenery and tons of fun; Colorado Mountain College in Glenwood Springs for big distances and plenty of variety; and Beaver Ranch in Conifer for just plain awesomeness. I'm told Beaver Creek's course is really nice, too, but it wasn't open this early in the season.
