Interesting course with a variety of terrain to deal with depending on what hole you're playing. This course starts with dark green sprinkler fed grass on wide open fairways, then transitions to mountain prairie / high desert vegetation & soil, then back to plush grass. All but one of the baskets are visible from the tee pads, thus they tempt you into "going for it" maybe even when you shouldn't. The view to the west of the Rocky Mountains, and the city below, adds to the atmosphere.

It is easy to traverse from point to point for the first 12 fairways, then again on 17 & 18. However, fairways #13 thru #16 need to have much better paths through the fairways full of cactus & brush so people can traverse (without drawing blood).

None of the fairways are extremely long, no vertical vegetation challenges above 7' tall (other than on #4), no on-site course map making it nearly impossible to navigate without bringing your own map. The red & blue post for tee pad markers work well, but fairway maps are still needed.

Baskets/fairways 1 thru 4, plus 17 & 18 seem to be in direct conflict with campus sidewalks, streets & buildings. Presumably that makes 6 of the holes unplayable while classes are in session. However, during the summer months while school is out of session it is (presumably) playable every day.
