Review from Shane R.

Though this is a park, with many facets of enjoyment, many (including all reviewers so far) come to this fine campus for disc or frisbee golfing.
I have been playing for about 7 years now and have a niche for this game.
Johnny Roberts Memorial Park Disc Golf Course is definitely a staple. Though the course is rather short ( in distances from tee pads to holes, not in overall length or number of holes) it offers great enjoyment and skill building for the beginner through professional. The winding creek and numerous trees and other obstacles offer prime challenge to the player. Accuracy, consistency and pure invention are all tested on numerous attempts for the clanging of the disc catching chains.
The traffic is often very high as far as disc courses goes, but time spent here can be swift due to the relatively short drives from tees to holes.
Enjoy!Listed in: Disc Golfing

This disc golf course is AWESOME... both for flingers (my husband) and casual observers (myself). I've now walked-- not played-- two of the Metro Area's Disc Golf courses, and there's a huge disparity between them. Here's how Johnny Roberts stacks up against Paco Sanchez:
Where Paco Sanchez-- my husband's usual course-- is ghetto (see my review), Johnny Roberts is gorgeous.
Where Paco Sanchez is a 3+ hour commitment and a 5 mile walk, Johnny Roberts can be played in under 2 hours and won't leave your tired feet aching.
Where Paco Sanchez is a place where dogs get hurt and dead bodies get dumped, Johnny Roberts boasts a safe, paved, well-trafficked and city-maintained space.
Where Paco Sanchez makes you empty your bladder behind a friendly bush, Johnny Roberts has Port-o-Potties.
Where Paco Sanchez will nearly rip your rotator cuff out of its socket because EVERY throw is a "driver" (yeah, that means long), Johnny Roberts has you weaving between old-growth trees and across babbling brooks to hone your short game and technical skills.
Where Paco Sanchez isn't well-suited for wheelchairs and strollers, Johnny Roberts makes things easy with wide, smooth, paved walkways (for most of the course, anyhow) and manicured lawns.
Where Paco Sanchez is home to gang-bangers and drug-dealers, Johnny Roberts has little kiddies testing out their training wheels, mamas pushing strollers, Baby Boomers on bikes, teens on skateboards (there's a cool skate park right on the premises too), and other such non-threatening locals.
So, yeah. Johnny Roberts is way better. -

This is an awesome disc golf course. The only con is that you really have to watch out for pedestrians before you throw, because it is in a public park and there are a lot of people walking their dogs/ running/ biking. There is a creek next to the majority of the holes, so if you're not an expert at the game, bring shoes you can get wet! I have gone fishin' for my disc more times than i would like to admit.
Also, I've heard from friends that there is a guy who roams around looking for lost discs to sell to players, so keep a close eye on where your disc falls.
Happy playing! -

If I could give this park 6 stars I would. Beautiful creek, large grass area for throwing the pigskin around, a full fleged frisbee golf course, and 2 half pipes in the skate park area. I had no idea the parks in Denver could be this awesome.

I think this is probably my favorite frolf course in all of Denver. Solid baskets and concrete tee boxes. The course is laid out very nicely across the park. There a few longish holes and quite a few short ones. There is a creek that snakes through the park so there is potential for some disc fishing. Overall the course is great for all types of players. It can often be very busy here.

this is a great frisbee golf course.. if you have really good aim! i'm still a beginner, so i'm pretty timid around all their water hazards, but it's a great, challenging course for frolfers of any level. it's best to try getting there during the day on weekdays because the after-work and weekend crowd can make the course a little packed, but you still have to look out for the regular park-goers since the course is built into a city park.
