Description

Experience incredible views and cool mountain air while playing at 10,350’ above sea level on a beautiful mountain disc golf course at the summit of Red River Ski Area. The course features the original recreational layout with 18 holes and a tournament layout with 21 holes. With tee pads for both pro and amateur players, this is a course that can be enjoyed by all.

The Sunny Side front nine starts with a scenic tee shot under, or over the Copper Chair down the Kit Carson ski trail. The remaining eight holes on the front nine are shorter, most playing slightly uphill on ski trails. The Sunny Side front nine is a great for beginners or those who only have time for a quick round.

The Cracker Jack back nine plays slightly uphill on a ridge through hole twelve. Beginning at hole thirteen, players enter the large aspen grove on the backside of the mountain. With narrower fairways, longer holes, and considerable elevation, the Cracker Jack back nine challenges even the best players.

Each year Red River Ski Area hosts the Drew Judycki Memorial, a PDGA sanctioned B-Tier event. During the tournament the 21 hole tournament layout is played with two rounds over two days. Whether practicing for the tournament or looking for a longer round of disc golf, the additional three holes are permanent and always available to play.

The course is free to play but access requires either a hike to the summit via a 3.5 mile hiking trail or a Scenic Summer Chairlift ticket. Discounted tickets for the chairlift are available to current PDGA members with proof of membership.

The Tip Restaurant at the summit has scorecard/maps and beginner friendly disc rental sets available.

The Lift House, in town at the bottom of Platinum Chair, has a disc golf pro shop with a wide selection of Dynamic Discs (with the Red River logo!), disc golf bags and other accessories. Scenic Summer Chairlift tickets and scorecard/maps are also available at the Lift House.

Directions

At the summit of Red River Ski Area. If riding the Scenic Summer Chairlift to access the course, park near the Lift House in town, next to the Platinum Chair. If you are hiking to the summit via the 3.5 mile hiking trail, park near the Main Chalet.
