Pros:
A course that is hilly enough for Colorado and almost completely open.
Mountain View is one of those courses that simply exists. The only sign of it are some tees and baskets strewn about a large hill near Cripple Creek. The scenery is a definite pro, with good mountain views all around and a pretty drive to get to the course as well. It's also secluded and quiet. On a summer morning, it was a top-notch atmosphere.
The course is a full 18 holes. They range from just under 200' to just over 500', with quite a few just over or under 200'. When it comes to shaping, most holes have zero requirements and are wide open. A few of the back nine are more interesting, with guardian trees, two slow curves, and some over-the-top in play. The hillsides and variety of difference in length are good touches that provide some level of interest.
I could see this course being decent for beginners. There are few places to lose discs, and many holes are on the shorter end. Plus, you won't slow anybody down playing at this course.
Cons:
The biggest con is that the holes are boring. There is little challenge beyond distance off the tee except for a select few holes. Compared to most courses I've played, the level of shaping is among the lowest anywhere.
I think the amenities are sub-par, as well. Single-chain baskets are okay, gravel tees are slippery, and tee signs only have number, distance, and arrow. The next tee arrows are well used, on the other hand.
There's a water hazard on (1) that could definitely eat discs. The last two to three holes could see some longer searches thanks to blind shots over or around shrubbery.
A potential con is overlapping fairways, which happens more than once. If you have the course to yourself, though, that's no problem.
The wind here gets brutal. Wide open hills means lots of possibility for discs to sail away.
Other Thoughts:
Mountain View is one of the less remarkable courses I've ever played. It is endowed with a great natural setting, but it happens to be in a tree-barren area that doesn't provide any scope for designing shot shapes. Combined with the lackluster amenities, it leaves the course at Reasonable. Unless you happen to be in Cripple Creek, don't go out of your way.
-Cows: Also worth noting that cows roam free on the property. I personally enjoy that, but others may not.
