Currie Reservoir DGC

"Take out 3 holes "

"Sadly, WAY too many artificial OB, hazards, and mando's; "island" carries well beyond the level of the tee skill levels; throwing at/next to/across pathways on many holes; unbalanced throw styles; hole lengths inconsistent with PDGA par guidelines; and unsafe lines with a dense layout. I appreciate the desire for something more challenging in the city, but hard does not equal good. This is why courses should be designed by professionals and not players, the course does not match the space. "

"Fun course! "

"Hard as hell"

"The adjusted par for the green tees are different on UDisc compared to at the course. The Course is great otherwise, and is very challenging. "

"tight fairways and lots of wind. "

"Great course "

"Love it! "

"A bit of snow"

"Lots of boundaries and some high baskets"

"Fun course and good taste of a more forested course. Some of the OB lines can be punishing so you need to be accurate but it's generally a super enjoyable layout. Fixing the weeds would make this a 4 out of 5 for me. Can feel crowded on weekends with discs mixing across holes quite a bit. "

"Surprisingly fun and technical from the gold tees. Wished they would’ve planted more trees rather than OB stakes "

"Had a bathroom. "

"Well designed course, lots of ob"

"A lot of OB and hazard areas…. Not sure if a lot of holes are supposed to be played as islands…. A really good course 4.5"

"Good for winter / snow conditions."

"It's a challenging course, but the artificial OB and hazards bring the rating down. Even the signage for the hazards and OB can be confusing the first time around. "

"4.2 from me! Fun course. Lots of hazard. Signature hole 17. "

"Neat course! 4 stars only because it’s a tight course with somewhat bizarre OBs that are challenging to hit. "

"Layout is strong but fairways are tight to fit 21 holes. "

"This course has a cool layout with some challenging boundaries for shorter holes. The fairways are a bit rough but it was enjoyable to play. "

"Fantastic, challenging course. The layouts are super creative and offer a lot of unique problems. You won't get your best score here, but you'll learn a lot. I'd recommend starting with the green tees."

"Grass is very overgrown right now - easy to lose track of discs. And bring bug spray!! It would be a decent course if it was maintained. However, some of the baskets are much higher than usual. "

"Agreed with the below. I launched a service request to the city. Please help badger the city to maintain it as well as they do in baker park or thorncliffe. So much potential. "

"Mosquitos are insane. Needs to be mowed badly"

"There are a couple of dandelions on the fairways but a fun course"

"Tight course with a lot of OB, but the lines are nice and the course is well-kept."

"Needs upkeep. But the worst part is this course just tries to do too much. Too many artificial hazards and OB. A couple would be fun, but every hole?? It feels like this course should be fun, but it’s just frustrating and not in a good way. Also too compact and dangerous when busy"

"The course is a fun challenge. A 21 hole layout in a small park makes this course play slower and discs are flying everywhere. The tee placements are often too close to greens making this course play slow. I think this course has too many novelty features, fences guarding island greens, nets on wooden structures and hazard and OB. I think the design would be much better with 18 hole layout and maybe extend some holes for a par 4 instead of squishing the layout with extra holes."

"Fantastic course, very technically challenging. "

"Love this course. Great challenge with a lot of distance."

"Okay course. Can be dangerous if busy. Lots of artifical OB and tight fairways next to each other. Cart/stroller friendly."

"Loved it so much "

"More raised baskets than I have seen on any other course. More suitable for advanced players but the green tees are playable for less powerful arms. Too much artificial OB."

"Grass is dry in most places. Tricky course but good fun. "

"Would be 5 stars with some tee pads. Very enjoyable course. I enjoy the back 12 holes more than the front 9. "

"Great course layout. Good conditions. A must when in Calgary. "

"Under 7 found some holes a bit long… I thought it was great, even in March. "

"Very challenging course with lots of hazards. Forces you to work on your accuracy and safe shots. On busy days be careful and keep your head up as there is a chance of being hit or hitting someone on every inch of the property. No place is safe, not even the tee boxes. "

"Interesting course! Forces you to use all types of angles. Would be 5 stars if they took out three holes so it wasn’t dangerous with OB on every hole. A shame that most of the course is dead grass and weeds. "

"Great layout, very well kept"

"So big. Really challenging coarse. "

"Great course, so much fun! Exactly what Calgary was needing. Just a bit crowded on the throwing lines."

"Very tough course, especially in the wind. It is very fun - but keep in mind it is challenging and you need to keep an eye out for discs from other holes"

"Very nice course. Well labeled with signs. Love the gold and green tee off on every hole. It was a bit crowded with cross overs. Would be better spaced out with 18 or 19 holes instead. Overall a nicely thought out and enjoyable course. "

"Gorgeous course that is wonderfully thematic! Loved the signage, hole number markers, baskets, benches ect, truly beautiful. I also thought the course design was extremely well done and used the space very nicely (awesome use of hazzard rules!) The wooden obstacles were a lot of fun, the maintenence of this course is very impressive. I will be back to this course many times over!"

"21 holes is too many for this course. There are not enough natural dividers, especially in the western half of the property, to justify everything being so claustrophobic. Every single group I watched play today had shots cross into other holes - including one particularly bad shot that crossed TWO fairways. People playing with a normal amount of human error should not affect the pace of play THIS MUCH. Also, don’t advertise bathrooms that are unlabelled AND NOT OPEN. It was very inconvenient."

"Amazing course. "

"Super fun course to play. If you go when it’s not busy you’ll love it. I’d probably rather see a 18 hole layout with a bit more space. Having the shorter tee pads is great for beginners. "

"An amazing course, so glad there has been so much effort and energy put into this course. A true gem for the Calgary Region. "

"Wow great course"

"Not sure why there are 21 holes with many of the holes throwing across eachother... Should have focused on 18 and a good layout. Extremely disappointed with the unrealized potential of this space."

"A fair bit of hole-crossover which can be dangerous, but super fun/challenging with hazards/OB."

"Tight, unforgiving and busy. This demands well placed shots."

"Great setup . Good technical shots. Pay attention to hole layouts before playing a hole as some holes may demand a well thrown shot to stay out of hazards. Teepads would be great. Course teepads will be played out and damaged easily without"

"Needs some hole refinement. Doesn’t need to be 21 holes. Sort of felt like the designers went with a mindset of “how many holes can we put in this space.” that being said, the holes and lines are actually quite fun"

"Good use of space. Tight course though. Needs throwing pads. Challenging mandos and hazards."

"Amazing addition to Calgary. Not recommended for beginners as the fairways are right and technical. Every shot demands accuracy and thoughtful placement."

"Fun course and in great condition!"

"Tight ob/ hazard lines "

"Such huge potential not realized. While the fairways don’t cross, they might as well. Fairways facing each other with shared hazard lines is constantly unsafe. Forcing 21 holes into such a small space could certainly have been avoided. There is excessive use of non natural hazard, and mandos. The green t- boxes combines with 290+ foot island greens makes the course a chore with a lower arm speed. Take out 3-5 holes. Remove some unnatural hazard - make a few holes into par 4/5. "

"Front 9 is way to condensed. Anything but a direct straight shot is going to result you playing in hazard.(which is someone else's Fairway. Constantly hearing fore. Played 2 rounds and got hit once and almost twice. They need to take aways 21 holes and bring to 18 holes. And open the front alot more. But the last 12 holes was nice. But waste of money in my opinion to spend all that money on fence posts to make a hole slightly difficult. When it could of been used to improve the courses we have."

"Nice to have another course in Calgary, and nice way to use an old golf course. It should have been 18 holes, and not having tee pads make those really long throws difficult. And way too many times it feels like you're throwing directly towards on coming people from other fairways."

"I really want to love Currie Res but I see two problems. First off why isn't it just 18 baskets? If it was it would open things up just that much more to make it more enjoyable. Second, Currie need proper tee pads. I don't love playing in the mud. If these two things were upgraded Currie would be my favorite course in the city, and definitely be 5 stars!"

"Hard up to recommend this in its current state. The way the front of this course is laid out is very dangerous. The fairways are too tight and near each other. Some teepads are also in throwing lines, and hole 9 the best line from yellows is to throw beside a building over a parking spot. It's very challenging which is great, but it's made challenging by artificial hazards. As a personal opinion these arbitrary hazards just aren't fun to play. Course needs to be made safer first and foremost"

"Best course in Calgary."

"Lost a yellow Eagle here on Nov 1st. Got my first ace with that disc so if anyone finds it, it would be hugely appreciated if you could return it. Thank you!"

"Nice layouts but it’s very tight which makes it a bit suffocating. "

"Course design has some potential, but lots is left to be desired. Artificial OB everywhere doesn’t make a course any more interesting. Combine holes to make it 18 with a variation in par and you’ve got a great course! "

"🔪🍆👀💣🍄🧐"

"I'm happy for the challenge. Seems unnecessarily difficult at some points, and I can throw 450'. My typical round at Baker is under -3. 1st round here was +20, 2nd round +9. I'm excited to practice the elevated baskets more, not sure if having the elevated baskets surrounded by hazards or hills should be as common, do you want to see layups on 80% of the holes? Great job building the course, it's a completely unique experience in Calgary. Lovely baskets. The hazards do make it great too. "

"So busy."

"Great challenge. Motivates me to get better at my game"

"Updated: Good par 3 course to get your throwing accuracy in check - genuinely the most challenging course in the area if you acknowledge the hazards… average/below average difficulty if you don’t. Therein lies the problem… Per other reviews, this course is indeed dangerous. There is alot of mayhem on those westernmost fairways… The location on the city land are rightfully accessible to all players and it comes with risk. To reduce the layout to 18 holes would help to mitigate some of this. "

"Very difficult, very fun, great work by the volunteers!"

"I really enjoy playing this course. You definitely need to make accurate shots for your scorecard and the safety of others !"

"Good layouts with multiple hazards to account for and OB. Wintery at the moment."

"Amazing!! "

"Fun course, quite challenging with out of bounds. "
