Lakewood Dry Gulch

(Updated 11/02/2018). This course is definitely not for beginners. There are 3 pin locations on every hole. If all the pins are in the long locations on all holes, it can be a seriously challenging course. Mostly all long RHBH holes on this course, it would have been nice to see a bit more variety in that sense, but the layout is solid overall. It's quite a long course, with some walking between, although this is better now that all of the baskets are back in. The course has cement tee pads ...

(Updated 11/02/2018). This course is definitely not for beginners. There are 3 pin locations on every hole. If all the pins are in the long locations on all holes, it can be a seriously challenging course. Mostly all long RHBH holes on this course, it would have been nice to see a bit more variety in that sense, but the layout is solid overall. It's quite a long course, with some walking between, although this is better now that all of the baskets are back in. The course has cement tee pads on every hole, however, most signage is now missing. It can be a little difficult to follow without a map if you've never played there, be sure and have one (need to cross over the light-rail from 2 -> 3 via a bridge, and 14 -> 15 over the light-rail tracks). The light-rail does come into play on a few holes, but it's pretty out of the way, so only a super errant throw (with the exception of 9 and 10) would land you on the tracks. A fun course for anyone who loves to let them rip. Definitely one of the more fun and challenging "urban" courses I've played. (PS. All of the homeless people I've ever met there have always been very friendly, never had any issues despite other's reviews.)

DOWNLOAD the UDISC app. You'll need it. Same course as Paco Sanchez. The first 9 holes are in the Paco Sanchez park and area easy to follow with nice mowed turf grass. The back 12 holes follow the Lakewood Dry Gulch and are much more challenging, hard to follow, and not very well maintained. The creek is in play for most of the holes and the light rail offers some serious OB. My biggest complaint about the course is the pedestrian paths make it hard to play due to so much bicycle and foot traffi ...

The creek is in play for most of the holes and the light rail offers some serious OB. My biggest complaint about the course is the pedestrian paths make it hard to play due to so much bicycle and foot traffic as the fairway is essentially the pedestrian path on quite a few of them. We got yelled at by one bum (mental illness) and also by some people on the pedestrian path (most people don't know what disc golf is presumably) but most of the bums were very nice. One helped me locate my disc in the creek. This is not a course I would play regularly, but it does offer some fun holes and a few were 500+ feet which you don't see often. Whoever designed it did an awesome job with what they were given. Long course, bring water. I'd rate the course design as an A, but due to lack of signage, missing holes, and the clientele in the area it gets a C+ from me.
