Edora Park

I played this course when I was at CSU, probably back around 1999 or so. Let's just say it is completely different! The course as it sits today is kinda weird. First the I like the idea of different distances similar to a regular golf course (Ladies tee, men's tee, pro tee) except it seems like they use the same tee pad but different baskets all over the frickin place. It also seems like some holes like #1 have 5 different "routes" but others only have 3, very inconsistent. I feel like I ha ...

I played this course when I was at CSU, probably back around 1999 or so. Let's just say it is completely different! The course as it sits today is kinda weird. First the I like the idea of different distances similar to a regular golf course (Ladies tee, men's tee, pro tee) except it seems like they use the same tee pad but different baskets all over the frickin place. It also seems like some holes like #1 have 5 different "routes" but others only have 3, very inconsistent. I feel like I have some good distance on my drives, and I was struggling on some of the holes...so I'd say it's a lengthy course. The only holes I saw with water as a factor were starting at 14ish through 18ish. For the life of me I can't find the #10 pin, I found a stick in the pin holder in the ground. I don't know, for all the hype I hear about this course I came away feeling it was so-so. Too many baskets all over the place, confusing layouts, missing pin, crowded. I dunno, maybe it's not for me.

I agree with Chris T, every redesign takes away from the course. It used to a great balanced, fair, and safe course. The city keeps kicking us off the nice grass area to the railroad tracks. So it used to be very well manicured, more trees, and great for a beginner or pro. Now it has more open holes, if it rains or snows half of it is swampy, lost a lot of the risk and reward holes, you play along a busy bike path, you play a long a major busy street for 2 holes, and around an electrical substat ...

The city said they wanted use to move for safety reasons, but then added more issues than what it resolved... Not to mention it now caters to the 10% of the players that play the course. They didn't think about the 90% (casual golfers) that plays it... FYI it is Spring Creek you play along, not the Colorado River...

This is a fantastic course that runs through a public park with a solid variety of shots and hole lengths. The majority of the tee-pads are extremely long, concrete pads, some of the longest I've seen. All holes are marked well with signs that show all pin locations and their distances. A great mix of long and short holes. There aren't very many "tight" shots where you need to hit a line on, but a few well guarded holes. The river comes into play on a few holes at the end of the course addi ...

A great mix of long and short holes. There aren't very many "tight" shots where you need to hit a line on, but a few well guarded holes. The river comes into play on a few holes at the end of the course adding some risk/reward type of shot selections. The course can be a bit difficult to follow at times, so a map is a must if you've never played there before. Beginners may find the course a bit difficult, but any advanced player should find that this course will offer up a good challenge, with solid opportunities to bring the score down.

I pulled up to Edora Park and noticed right away that this multi function activity area is obviously one of Fort Collins' favorite places to go and walk a dog, go for a nice bike ride, go jogging, play horseshoes, and a gaggle of other activities that get the blood moving through ones veins. My round started off nice and easy with an up shot that slid along the finely kept grass that blankets the entire course.My first shot on hole 2 landed right next to the mid sized stream that parralels the ...

I pulled up to Edora Park and noticed right away that this multi function activity area is obviously one of Fort Collins' favorite places to go and walk a dog, go for a nice bike ride, go jogging, play horseshoes, and a gaggle of other activities that get the blood moving through ones veins. My round started off nice and easy with an up shot that slid along the finely kept grass that blankets the entire course.My first shot on hole 2 landed right next to the mid sized stream that parralels the course and is an issue for inaccurate throws on 5 or 6 holes. As I made my way through the round, it became appearent that most of the disc golfers in Fort Collins love this course. As a new commer to this course, I have to agree with the local disc golfers... this course rocks! Colorado players are very helpful and it was easy to hook up with a group to make it easier to navigate the course my first time through. Half the fun of this course was seeing hundreds of people enjoy the multi use park in which this course is laid out.
