Guide to Denver, Colorado Frisbee Disc Golf Courses in Lakewood
By Jason Cangialosi of Associated Content
Working our way up from deep south of Denver in Castle Rock to the outer limits of Golden, these are the greater Denver area's Disc Golf Courses. Below is a review of Red Rocks Community College Disc Golf Course in Lakewood, Colorado. Red Rocks Community College Disc Golf Course:
If going west on W. 6th Ave Fwy., get off the Union Blvd/Simms St. Exit, go south towards Union Blvd., then make your first right on 4th Ave. going west, turning right on Van Gordan St., follow it as it turns into 6th Ave. (Frontage Road), then turn left onto Arbutus Dr.. If your going east on 6th Ave., get off on the Indiana Exit, going south, make first left onto 6th Ave. (Frontage Road, to a right on Arbutus Dr.. Turn right into the first parking lot you see, and the first tee-box is just next to the building along the paved path. You can easily follow the course from there, but you may need to scope out some slightly hidden baskets on certain holes. There is supposedly course maps available in the Red Rocks Student Center. This is a diverse little 9 Hole course, that entices a definite two rounds of play. There are some long, green distance shots, tricky tosses into the trees, a small valley with a wicked updraft, and some insane drive on the 9th hole, that goes alongside a ditch and under a huge walkway bridge sitting just feet above the ground. The course is well kept, due to it being on a college campus, with gravel tee-boxes, wooden posts marking each tee, and of course the standard DisCatcher baskets. There are a few additional holes on the southeast side of the campus, up past Arbutus Dr., on the Campus Loop, but they are not part of the 9 hole course. For those not savvy to the ways of disc golf, here it is in a nutshell: Disc Golf is basically played just as traditional Golf, but instead uses specialized Frisbee Discs and metal baskets as targets instead of balls, clubs, carts, and holes. A Disc Golf course also utilizes the natural landscape of parks and open areas instead of the manicured courses of traditional golf. A course usually has 18 baskets (holes) which are laid out around an open area, utilizing trees, hills and water as natural obstacles to players. Along with the 18 strategically placed baskets, there are coinciding platforms (tee-boxes) placed between 200 and 600 ft. from the baskets from where players toss their discs.
