Directions:
Hwy 243 toward Lyons/Longmont, left on CO-66. Follow signs for 36 West (through Longmont and Lyons) to a left on Elkhorn Ave., left on Moraine Ave., right at stop sign (Big Slide and Doughnut House), straight through Marys Lake Rd. intersection - stay in left lane. 36 becomes CO-66. Estes Park Center entrance on right at 2515 Tunnel Rd. Maps at Sweet Memorial Bldg. 1st tee just up the road.
Rocky ground. Not a lot of variety on the front nine. It's fun to watch the prairie dogs duck, though.
Terrific course in a very scenic surrounding. Great mix of moderate to long fairways. Excellent mix of up and down hill shots. Course plays better then '2' rating. With small amount of improvement to tee pads and fairway management this course could easily be rated 4-5. Had it not been for a 900 pound elk on tee pad 2, who seemed very at home, we could have thrown the whole course!
PROs: Average course in a beautiful setting.
Lots of potential for wildlife watching.(deer, elk, birds...)
CONs: Can be difficult to navigate without a map.
Course layout is linear not a loop. If you parked at Tee #1, you have a 15 min walk back from hole 18.
I actually didn't play the course because there's a $15 per person fee to participate in the YMCA of the Rockies activities, which includes disc golf.
From their website: Please note that if you are not staying on-grounds or are not a member of the Y, you must purchase a $15 day pass to participate in activities. The day pass can be purchased at the Sweet Memorial Program Building or the Administration Building.
