Pros: Cross Creek is a truly unique mountain course. Even though it is extremely secluded in a beautiful high alpine setting, it shares many elements you might expect to find in a traditional city park course.
Extensive manicuring and reshaping of the land has created a one-of-a-kind aesthetic that sets it apart from other Rocky Mountain courses.
The diverse layout will challenge any player and features everything from tight, tree-lined fairways, wide open bombers, huge elevation changes and water carries. It is always a battle to score well, regardless of skill level, with the course's obstacles rewarding great shots and punishing less than ideal ones.
Cross Creek is in its fourth year now and, because its reputation has continued to grow, the owners are committing more and more resources to improving and expanding it.
There is now a massive, 20+ person volunteer team in place that are responsible for continued maintenance of the course including regular mowing, removal of deadfall and debris, upkeep of tees and paths and helping with the addition of more amenities.
These amenities include multiple pin positions, vastly improved tee pads (including the use of Discmania/DiscGolfPark turf tee pads) and the addition of more holes on the property with the goal of at least 27 total in the not so distant future.
They are also in the process of adding comprehensive tee signs to each hole as well as a course map at the kiosk for easier navigation.
The owners are also some of the kindest people on the planet and, for having zero knowledge of disc golf prior to agreeing to a course on their ranch, have now adopted it as a major part of their lives.
It really is inspiring to see this place grow from a pipe dream to truly being one of the finest destination courses in Colorado. If you have the opportunity to visit, make sure you can spend at least a full day here and play multiple rounds.
Cons: The dirt tee pads are sometimes rocky and uneven. Large scale improvements are in the pipeline
Signage is very basic at the moment but is also going to be improved upon soon
Some of the holes are a little close together which doesn't affect play much during casual rounds but can occasionally during tournament play
There is no cell service at Cross Creek. Not necessarily a con but something to be aware of if you visit
It is very secluded, at least 20 to 25 minutes from the nearest services. Again, not a con per-se but take note if you need to bring food, water or anything else you might require while on course
Other Thoughts: Full disclosure: I am a co-designer of the course, maintenance team lead and marketer for Cross Creek DGC.
I truly believe that this course is exceptional in its current state and on track to be one of the finest private courses anywhere in the country.
