Nice chill and pretty park to play in. Lots of interesting-shaped fairways through the trees. Great course design making use of the natural park features.

Most holes have multiple tees and multiple baskets that provide very different experiences, and there are informative signs at each tee to help you keep things straight. Holes 1, 3, and 16 are the most different from the different tees.

The creek running through the course can be punishing, it's in play for 9 or 10 holes. Even when the water level is low there's one or two spots where a disc can be swept downstream and be difficult to find.

Lots of houses abut the course, and if your disc goes over the fence into a yard it is probably GONE. Please don't hop the fence and trespass and make us all look bad! You can knock on the house's front door to ask if they'll let you get it but IME it's a low% thing. This was a big problem when I was a beginner, not so much anymore.

There are trees that can deflect a decent shot into the creek, but I've never seen a tree defelect into a backyard.

Not many scrambling opportunities. You're either in bounds and you have a shapable shot, or you're OB, and you have a shapable shot. Maybe not a "con" but a thing

Being able to hit the fairways is especially important on this course, and many of them require good shaping skills. If you can do that, the creek and surrounding houses aren't an issue. If you can't, we'll you know what you're getting into.

Hole 7 is the first signature hole IMO, calling for a long right-sweeping shot through the trees with the creek as OB. Though 3 is really fun off the "locals" tee over the bridge and up the hill between two large trees, if you have the arm for it. The entire "back side" holes 8-12 across the road are signature holes IMO, wooded holes with restrictive ceilings but lots of flying room down low.

I think this is a really fun course that can be rough on beginners and will challenge intermediate players. It really rewards refinements in your game.


Aside: This is the course I learned to play on and I wouldn't recommend it for that, but it forced me to learn all the different throws. It humbled me away from using super-fast overstable drivers pretty early on too lol

Course was pretty clean when I was there and played it. It's a very pretty park in my opinion.

Layout felt a bit weird but that may have been a lack of clear numbers on some baskets. Maybe it was some of the tee locations?

Not crowded by golfers but definitely by non-golfers, including some people who decided to sit right on the green on one of the holes. Nice use of water on one of the holes(shanked a disc in the creek). I would definitely play again when I go back.

Great course
Mountain view in the distant background
Variety of trees on course adds challenge

Somewhat poorly marked

Course provides a good challenge, but by no means a difficult course. Relatively short holes with trees and a nearby stream.

Great layout
Multiple pins and tees
Water hazzard and OB adds fun element
Mixture of open fields and woods.
Well kept course clean course

Could use more trash cans
Some OB in people back yards.
Signs are posted not to go into backyards to retrieve disc. Some fences have barbed wire along top to keep people out. That leads me to believe some golfers have been disrespectful to homeowners. That doesn't help the sport or coummunity .

Great course. Got wet retrieving a disc,

Makes good use of the relatively limited amount of land

3-4 pin placements per hole, adds variety for locals

Widefield Park is well-maintained. Grounds crews were out mowing while we were out for our round

Pro and Am tees for most holes

Helpful locals (we had some trouble finding holes 8-12 and 14)

The course isn't too long for beginners

You'll need to use every shot in your bag at least once here to score well, but newer players can get away with just BH and lay up on a few areas.

Grass was long after you leave the park area - hole 5 or so. The grass was wet with dew so my shoes were soaked completely through by the end of hole 1 (it was mowed later during our round). It wasn't as enjoyable having soppy socks and shoes for an entire round.

Holes 8-12 are across the road from the rest of the course, which made them difficult to find. We never found 14.

Holes 7-13 feel pretty similar.

Beginners will have plenty of opportunities to lose discs in the running creek and poison ivy.

No long holes to really air it out.

Course map at the park entrance is weathered to the point where it's completely illegible.

Experienced players can get by with just a putter and a mid. I'm not a distance thrower by any means and used my DX Leopard exactly once on the 18th pro tee. Otherwise, I was teeing off with my Aviar or Shark.

Some tee markers are missing.

I have always liked playing the course at Widefield. It is a bit out of my way, so I do not go as often is I would like. The times I have played to course i have never really ran into too many crowds. The course is mostly clean and friendly.

The only problem i have ever had is the last time I went, the basket numbers were on the wrong holes, which caused a lot of confusion.

Overall this is a great course if you don't have to deal with the crowds or the neighbors.

I have a slanted opinion cause its my home course but its one of the best ive played in the state. Have the dynamics of making technical shots but still come open areas. Also has a great field to allow for field work.

The river will eat your soul if its moving quickly

Tag rounds are held there saturdays at 10am come join we would love to have all of you they do ace pot and tag and sometimes a side pot too.

This is a typical park course, with lots of mature trees, short grass, and very little brush. The creek that winds through the course adds a great element of risk, and I rolled a few discs into it.

The course offers a good mix of open holes and wooded holes. Nothing really tight, but some holes require good straight drives or a little line-shaping to stay out of trouble.

Very nice concrete teepads, and decent tee signs, though some were getting a little weathered. There are "pro" tees and "am" tees for about half of the holes.

There are numerous pin placements for each hole. Based on the tee signs there are some holes with as many as four or five potential basket locations. As an out-of-towner I have no idea how often the baskets are moved, but it looks like the holes could have a lot of different looks/lengths.

Navigation on the course was pretty easy for a first-timer. Most of the teepads were close to the previous basket and the signs were pretty obvious. It was helpful that they were clearly labeled as "pro" or "am" and that the holes with only a single tee clearly stated it on the sign.

No real elevation changes to play with.

Not really a great deal of variety. You have some wide open holes at the beginning and end, and some wooded (but not tight) holes in the middle.

Once you get into the wooded stretch around Quebec Street (Holes 7 - 13) there is a bit of similarity between the holes.

Quite a few of the holes run along the fences of adjoining homes, and you could certainly lose a disc or two over a fence.

I played on a Tuesday morning and had the course to myself. But from other reviews it sounds like the weekend could get a little sporty.

Good parking, but the restrooms were locked so we had to drive to a nearby convenience store for my wife's sake.

Choice of easy and hard tee spots
Holes range from long and strait to short and tricky with some water hazards
great for beginners and pros

plays through a park and can be very busy
can be good and bad but a lot of trees

Good mix of technical shots and more open ones.
Both amateur and pro. tees on almost all holes.
Baskets in good shape.
Well maintained course.
There is a nice little stream running through the course that adds a bit of risk/reward to play. When I was playing the water was down enough that you didn't have to worry about loosing your disk. It was just inconvienant to drag it out of the water.

Personally I woulld have liked to see more long shots. Around here 300-350 ft. shots are about average but in Colorado this is considered a long shot.

From reading other reviews I expected to be surrounded by rude people, but I found everyone to be very nice and helpful. There were several larger groups of players who saw that we had a smaller group that was moving faster than they were.The all offered to allow us to play through without us having to ask. They were very helpful in giving us help navigating the course.

Might be the best course I've seen so far. Distances shots, technical shots, and everything in between plays here.

Most of the holes have water in play and mature trees to dance through, making it very hard but fun.

Hole placement is key here, they have some fun locations in groups of trees.

One of the early holes has an elevated tee that is a lot of fun.

Not much, but a few things.

Their are few designated tees, most are sidewalks with faded markings.

It's in a park, so people tend to look down on the DG'ers because we almost took out a kite.

Do NOT go after a disc in someone's yard.

Because our DG brethren have disrespected people's property, they aren't too fond of us at Widefield. Most yards have "Do Not Enter" signs and barbed wire on the fences. These are the actions that get courses removed.

Well kept.
Not a lot of traffic.
Nice open long shots in the begining and the end and the middle is wooded.

The creek in the middle on some days can just take you disk down stream and you will never see it again.
If your disc goes in someones yard you may have issues getting it back. Some of the yards have barbwire on the fences or they will take your disc and not give it back.

Besides me losing discs at this course i have a lot of fun here.

- great course for begginer to intermediate players to test there consistency and skills with a disc.
- plenty of shade

- very crowded on the weekends.
- the grass around the creek that runs through the whole course is very high and overgrown, it could be trimmed back a little bit.
- no benches so my family cant go watch or play with me

- some of the chains are set up in odd places, but it does make for a good challenge

-1st hole is a wide-open long bomb...if you can go 350-400 you'll love it
-The "wooded holes" require some skill to hold the line, but still easy enough for a newer player
-Plenty of shade

-3rd hole is a disc eater! The tall grass around the creek will take your disc if you're aiming for the basket...overthrow the basket and putt in for an easy 1 under
-SUPER crowded on the weekends...go with a group or on the weekdays
-No benches, which means I can't play with my daughter
-1st timers will have a helluva time finding the 1st teebox...the weathered old sign at the entrance is of little help to navigate the course

This is my second "hometown" course (I live in Fountain) but I find myself playing it less than Cumberland due to the crowds. But that obviously means the course is good if so many people are playing!

With that said, intermidiate on up for this course....NOT a course for begginers. If you're younger or just starting out, hit up Cumberland or Turkey Creek to hone your skills or you'll be suffering a lot of lost discs.

This course is most fun with 4 or 5 players of the same skill level. My daughter, wife and I trying to play was like the Three Stooges go folfing.

Very nice, narrow course that runs through a greenway with a creek that runs throughout and comes in to play on approximately 12 of the holes. Great course to play on a windy or hot day, as most of the course has trees and minimizes those factors. The persistent presence of the creek demands shot-making skills and the ability to hold a line instead of just bombing hyzers. A good number of trees and a couple of mandos that again require skill, but not so many trees that it is just stupid luck if you don't hit one. People use the course, but it's rarely crowded and the locals are cool. Course starts and ends very near the parking area. Good place for a relaxing round.

no benches or trash cans once you start the course. Some folks think the proximity of the houses is a con, but honestly, if you have any amount of control they shouldn't come in to play, Baskets are a bit beat up and the signage is sometimes barely discernable. No elevation change, so that doesn't come in to play

Houses on the anhyzer side of nearly every hole, so be respectful of the residents and don't scream expetives if your shot goes awry. We don't need problems with the neighbors.

Widefield offers a nice variety with it's 18 holes. The first three play through a greener part of the park and then the rest play through and around the ever-present creek. The creek, even after a drought and months of hot weather still factored into our round quite a bit. The course is showing her age. The tee signs are sometimes hard to read. The navigation was mostly easy to follow for our group of first timers. And there were enough players on the course to ask and follow.

Our group of four consisted of two players playing their first ever round of disc golf. I can't in good faith call Widefield a great course for the newbie. The creek is present on way too many holes. Luckily for us, two elementary age kids were more than happy to jump into the knee deep creek and fish out our discs about a dozen times. And we were more than happy to slip them a couple of bucks for their efforts.

I would call Widefield a solid Recreational level course. Advanced players would tear it up and the creek is going to eat up the beginner and families. It was just about a perfect match for me, an aging recreational player.

Great starter course, really gives a new player an idea of how to get used to throwing. Easier to spot pins than other courses I've done, and always friendly people playing.

Too close to housing, as an errant throw will end up with you knocking on a door and then you have to worry if the dog got ahold of it before you do. Creek can present interesting challenge, but also is a home for snakes as I saw a Water Moccasin/ Cottonmouth looking snake when I was there last.

Great little course to just go blow off steam and throw, just beware the fences and the walkers.

This course is the best one in the Colorado Springs area now that the Hewlett Packard course is gone. They (the designer) made very good use out of the available terrain. Lots of long drives and technical approach shots. Not nearly as crowded as Cottonwood.

The trees can make you wanna scream sometimes, but I've seen worse. The creek that runs through the course can be anywhere from 3-6 feet across, depending on the snow run-off. It also seems that once your disc gets wet, it wants to go in the creek every time. (Maybe that was just me...) The course is surrounded by private residences 60% of the time, so if you have a very errant toss, you might find yourself knocking on someones door to get your disc back. Just don't go into their backyard to retrieve it yourself....

Overall, I like this course. Mainly because it's not as crowded as the others. There are still people here, don't get me wrong, but it's much more sparsly populated. Just try to go as early as possible, and yield your throws to the dogwalkers and joggers and this course provides hours of fun and competitveness. Enjoy!

Widefield Park provides an incredible setting for a very good park course. The park sits in a very nice neighborhood. The park itself shows signs of being well maintained. There are other opportunities for activities for your non disc golf playing friends. The tee pads are nice, especially when they are not on the sidewalk. The tee pads are very consistent throughout. The baskets are still in good condition even though they show signs of age. The chains seem to catch discs better than most. There are more chains on these baskets than you see in a lot of places. The course design makes use of the mature trees in the park very well. There are very few if any filler holes, each hole provides a nice challenge. The flow of the course is rather logical and it is easy to find the next tee a majority of the time if not all the time. The creek that runs through the park is really nice when the water is low. The water looked very clean and it was rather easy to pull discs from the water. There is clearly a local community committed to this course and improving it as needed. This was obvious by the elimination or moving of certain tee pads throughout the course.

The park is a rather busy park and there is a lot of traffic, both of the disc golf variety and the pedestrian variety. There were several holes where dog walkers seemed not to know that they were walking right down the middle of a fairway. The tee signs, although they are consistent, are not very good. They serve more to let you know where the next tee is than to tell you about the hole you are playing. A few of the holes feel very tightly packed together. There is a nice long walk from the end of hole 18 back to the parking lot or the first tee. Rumor has it that the stream running through the park can flood after storms and become near impossible to pull discs out of.

This course has been in place for a while and as I talked to some local players they told me about how the course had almsot been pulled several times because people would tresspass into backyards to get errant discs. The layout of the course is such that it would take a lot to have an errant throw go into a backyard. I am not saying it won't happen but it is a challenge to do so. The course itself is more challenging than most people seem to realize. There were a lot of people playing from pro tees at this course that probably would have had more fun playing from the am tees. A few tees had been pulled or changed. Hole 3 Pro tee pad is up the hill a bit from what appears to be the tee. You could still play from old pro three but the new tee pad is more fun. The biggest improvement that this course needs right now is new tee signs. In playing the course for the first time it was really hard to know what to throw as holes looked shorter or longer than they actually were. The course was a lot of fun to play and is worth the time to get to this course if you are in the area. The course will look a lot different depending on what season it is. In the winter the course was very dry and dusty allowing discs to skip and hover along the ground. When Spring and Summer come around and things are growing you will be able to see a lot less through the tree leaves and might not get the skips off of the grass that will grow. Think about when you are playing this course to try and avoid the crowds.

The course is essentially an "out and back style. You start near the parking lot and finish near a playground about 200 yards away from the parking lot.

The course flows from hole to hole pretty well, with only a few weird basket finishs to odd tee placements.

There is a park bathroom very near the parking lot at the start. It's been opened any time I've played there.

Disccatcher baskets, are in good condition, and there are multiple pin placements per hole. Pin placements appear to change every 3-4 weeks.

The teepads are concrete and in good condition.

At the beginning of the course near the parking lot is a decent map of the entire course.

The grounds of the course are maintained pretty well, the park is rather beautiful to play in. There is a small stream that divides the course down it's length. Presenting some tricky shots and OB chances.

The park has a few really nice long shots, and a couple short obstacle holes.

Tee signs are pretty crappy. The wooden 4x4 with a painted number is fine, but the hole placement maps are garbage. They are super faded due to time, and the angle they are taken from is silly. They are pictures taken from the tee pad towards the direction of the pins, with the pin images overlaid.

A better design I've seen is the aerial picture, or aerial painted rendition. Giving a top down view of the hole, from the tee to the pin, with each pin located mark on the map, with it's associated distance.

It is hard to distinguish which pins are which using the current view point. Leading into the next con.

The basket numbers are the disccatcher baskets appear to only be painted on 2 sides, possibly 3. Due to the direction in which some baskets need to be locked into their base, there are many holes and pin placements where you cannot see the hole number on the basket from the tee.

This is a disappointing oversight. And if you are just starting this course, it's a good idea to run up and check, so you aren't throwing at the wrong one. This could be easily solved by simply painting 2-3 more angles on the disc catcher rim with the numbers.

Another problem this course suffers that isn't uncommon is holes playing over each other. There are 2-4 holes in the middle depending on placement, that play directly over each other. This course isn't crazy busy so it's normally not an issue. But as it's smack dab in the middle you experience it going out and coming back.

No benches at any tee pads, and no trashcans after the bathroom area. Pretty big bummer as this course is a nice long walk, and rather pretty. It'd be nice to stop for a minute or two and sit down to enjoy the view of the park.

Parts of the course border on both sides, residential areas. An errant shot can easily land in backyards on a few holes.

Other than 2-3 holes, this course doesn't present many challenges. The course is definitely fun, and I enjoy playing every time I do, but the overall challenge is staying out of the stream and peoples backyards. Other than that, bomb a drive and sink a putt and you've got it.

I rated this a 3.0

I love playing here, as the park is beautiful. the layout is nice, the flow is pretty good, and I can bomb some drives. A few minor things could make this course even better.

Keeping all the cons, if there were just a few more technical holes, I'd very likely have rated it a 3.5.

If you are live in or are visiting the Colorado Springs area and have never played here, you need to. It's a pretty nice course, and it's not busy.
