Great course with even better views

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 27, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Very clear and well-maintained fairways.

-Absolutely spectacular views throughout the entire course, especially through the back 8.

-Some really fun elevated tees (maybe 4-5)

-Cool additions to some holes. There's like this propellor thing attached to a tree on Hole 8 which is a fun obstacle. Another tee has a drop zone.

-The homemade baskets are AWESOME! If you think the sound of hitting chains is acoustically pleasing, the sound of hitting chains and a loud *THUNK* landing in the basket after is even better.

-I've met some weirdos coming to these privately owned courses over the years. That was not the case here. I did not meet Wes, but I met his father; very friendly man with a great dog (Rosy!)

-It's worth mentioning again, the views are amazing.

-Other people mention the isolation of this course as a con. I firmly believe it's a pro. I played on a Friday morning, and I hardly even heard another car drive by on the adjacent forest road.

-Saw a giant mule deer on the fairway for Hole 15 and a pack of wild turkeys around Hole 11.

Cons:

-Very easy to lose discs if your throw leaves the fairway.

-Bring lots of water. There was a pump on the property, but I don't believe it works.

-Hole 12 was a little frustrating despite being quite enticing. It's an elevated tee, and you can't see the fairway from the tee. The landscape creates a bit of wind tunnel behind you, which can realllllly carry your discs into some intense overgrown grass and shrubs. I would advise using a spotter or just skipping that hole.

Other Thoughts:

-It's cool that they offer camping on the course! It looked like they had outhouses and fire pits if you chose to do that.

-I thought the first two holes were the most challenging of the entire course. Don't get discouraged if you get the crap beaten out of you on those ones, the course gets a bit easier from there.

Really cool, unique course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 29, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Awesome scenery and layout. Cool, funky (in a good way) homemade baskets (very functional). Not too difficult or far holes, lots of different shots available. Great wildlife while playing.

Cons:

mosquitos! A bit of a drive from the closest towns of Ft. Collins and Loveland.

Other Thoughts:

If you live in NoCO, this place is definitely worth a day trip. $3/round $5/for the day.

Rocky Mountain Gem 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 20, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Great course nestled back in the Heart of the Rockies. Very secluded course with a good mix of difficulty. Hole 17 is Epic. Very good flow and benches at most(if not all) of the pads. For natural pads, they are in pretty good condition. Great mix of elevation and length. Great design and thought put into this one. Good mix of multiple doglegs and tight fairways with open bomber shots as well.

Cons:

The drive from Fort Collins can take an Hour but it is a beautiful drive so not much of a con other than time consuming.

Other Thoughts:

The atmosphere at this course is awesome. Very laid back. I've played this course during Colorado Autumn and the scenery is unbeatable. Hole 16 plays straight up a steep mountain incline where at the top you Tee off for Hole 17 which is a Huge bomber shot with a big drop in elevation. Bring drinks and snacks if you plan on playing for awhile because there is no convenience stores for miles(that i know of). If you are anywhere near this course it is definitly worth a stop. You'll need your whole bag for this one.This course easily ranks in my Top 3 played.
