Disc golf through a ghost town – Ghost Town Disc Golf Course; Russell Gulch, Co

Disc golf is one of the ultimate chill-autumn-sport — it’s relaxing, entertaining, mildly active and done outside. Few courses are as unique as Ghost Town, though. Located in Russell Gulch, just 45 minutes up in the mountains, this course has been built into an old abandoned mining town. It’s creepy, it’s beautiful and pretty novel. It’s by reservation only, though, so call Brian or Beth at 303-582-3083 to get your spot.
