Disc Golf Courses in the Denver Area
KC Ranch House Disc Golf Course
Ken Caryl, CO
We love this course for beginners and kiddos! It is a short 9-hole course with no distance beyond 200 feet. It is a fun place to practice your short game and improve your skills. There is a lot of shade here as well which makes it nice on a hot day. There is a restroom and park on the other side of the main building if the kids want to go to the playground after a round or two. Dogs are also allowed. This course moves fast, and we often play a few rounds.
Mom Tip: You could bring a stroller if needed, just be mindful it is a lot of grass not all concrete paths.
Johnny Roberts Disc Golf Course
Arvada, CO
This 18-hole course is so much fun! You will cross a creek and have some water hazards as well to keep it interesting. No hole is further than 250 feet which makes this a good course for any level of disc golfer. It was fun for our kids to explore all the trees surrounding the course and they loved crossing the stones in the creek. Strollers would be OK here, you would just need to take an alternative route on hole 2. Dogs are allowed. It can get crowded, but it is a fun area with a playground nearby and lots of restaurants close for post disc golf refreshments.
Mom Tip: Check out the after-dark glow competitions throughout the summer.
Bird’s Nest Disc Golf Course
Arvada, CO
Twenty-seven holes span this dog friendly disc golf course with awesome views! Plan for some grass and dirt as this course is having improvements made and has few sidewalks. It was a fun place to play with some longer and more challenging shots due to terrain.
