The Courses: Exploring the Centennial State
Colorado Journey features two separate 18-hole miniature golf courses: the Conestoga Trail and another unnamed course. Several visitors wish the staff had informed them of this choice, emphasizing the appeal of returning to explore both. Each course cleverly incorporates Colorado’s history and scenery into its design, from majestic mountains to perhaps a few prehistoric residents!
Many reviewers particularly enjoyed the water features on the course, though some expressed disappointment that a number were out of order during their visit. While the water adds enjoyment, it's worth noting reports of stagnant water attracting mosquitoes, especially around dusk.
“I loved getting a “tour” of the greatest landmarks in CO. It’s the perfect spot to watch the sunset while you play mini golf too!!” - A recent visitor.
Areas for Improvement: A Little Wear and Tear
Despite the generally positive reviews, there's recurring feedback regarding maintenance. The T-Rex themed hole seems to be a common subject of complaint, with multiple visitors mentioning the dinosaur being “missing its arms” or in need of repair.
Beyond the dinosaur, some decorations throughout the courses exhibit wear and tear. One reviewer mentioned the putters being unhygienic – “dirty and sticky,” leaving residue on hands. Others have stated that many decorations are broken.
Here's a summary of recurring concerns:
- Broken Decorations: Repeated mentions of damaged themes and characters.
- Water Feature Issues: Several features were not functioning, with some exhibiting stagnation.
- Putter Cleanliness: Complaints about dirty and sticky putters.
- Crowding: While less crowded on weekday evenings, some experienced significant waits due to slow play and multiple groups.
