Course Description:
Open area with mild terrain changes allowing for long throws. Tricky mandos marked with poles and flags. Some larger trees, but not a lot of shade. Some water hazards (especially after rain). Mosquitoes and brush around baskets unpleasant.

Directions:
West on I-40 to Unser north. Right on Ladera Dr NW, curve around to a left on Ouray Rd NW. Course is on the left across from ball golf course.
PROS: I think Ladera is decent for what it is- the park location itself is just OK, but there are definitely some good shots with elevation changes, interesting mandos, and good use of the few trees and obstacles/features that are available.
A lot of the signs were missing when I played, so it takes a minute to figure out a couple of the holes but it's not too complicated. Considering the terrain I think this course has a good design layout- fun shots, good play flow, and a mix of short-mid-long shots.
CONS: Several of the baskets are pretty crunched/bent up. This course would benefit from a course clean-up day, seems like a good amount of litter flows and blows into the area, kind of detracts from the course experience.
I give this course 2-2.5 LINKS.

4 LINKS: GREAT. These are the courses you want to live near- great quality park, layout, tees, baskets, etc.
5 LINKS: EPIC. This rating is reserved for only the best courses in the world. A MUST PLAY course.
