The Ridge at Castle Pines (Colorado)

Pace of play on the back 9 was extremely slow. At least 5-10 minutes between holes. It would have been easily over 5 hour round if we stayed to play. Quit after 16th hole. Over 4 hours when we left. Had dinner reservations to get to.

My experience at The Ridge at Castle Pines was outstanding!! The facility and course were fantastic! Almost all of the staff were courteous and helpful and friendly. I will play here again when I get the opportunity.

Played in May 2026. Great course, great conditions and well maintained. Some of the reviews mentioning bunkers unplayable are very inaccurate. Was luckily only in two, but my father (in his mid-70’s) was in several. Would have thought the bunkers were a course feature had I not read other reviews. Very playable with soft sand. Greens were reasonably fast, especially with some of the slopes. Tee boxes, rough and fairways were all in good condition. Plays through multi-million dollar homes in front nine with mountain views on back nine. Some challenges with not knowing landing spots on blind tee shots, but makes it exciting. Very playable and fair. Few risk reward holes from gold tees which also make the round interesting. Some holes to play aggressive and others to play safe. Cart path only which extended the day a bit, but played in about 4 hours 15 mins. Overall very enjoyable. Would definitely play again.

Enjoyed our Mother’s Day round of golf. Great course, great views.

Golf Now screwed up our reservation. Only made it for 1 golfer, when I selected 2 golfers. We played a different course. Can’t figure out how to get a refund from Gold Now. Will never use their service again

Always love playing out here, but when I called the course to ask if they had aerated the greens, they told me no. When I showed up to the course I learned on the first green that was false, they had aerated the greens. Awful!

Nice course. However, would not pay 250 bucks to play. It's not that nice.

I played here for the first time recently. For the price, this is an amazing course with great views on every hole. The condition of the course was top notch. Lots of wildlife on the course which was fun to see as well. Friendly staff and a nice range area. It won’t disappoint.

The Ridge at Castle Pines is an absolute masterpiece of Colorado golf. From the moment you step onto the dramatic elevated tees overlooking the Front Range, the jaw-dropping views of Pikes Peak and the rocky foothills steal the show. The Tom Doak design is pure genius—strategic, thoughtful, and perfectly woven into the rugged pine-dotted terrain with bold contours and fearless green complexes that reward smart play. Conditions are flawless every single time: firm, fast fairways and greens that run like glass. The routing feels adventurous yet fair, and the finishing stretch along the ridge is one of the most exhilarating closing sequences in the state. If you get the chance to play here, cancel whatever else you had planned—this course is bucket-list worthy and easily earns every one of its five stars.

Wonderful round. Pace of play was brutal from hole 2 on. 5+ hour round. Other than that, course was in great shape and a great round

Great course, scored a time on a deal. Not sure if I’d pay the full 130-210 for a tee time. But course was immaculate, staff was friendly. Challenging and beautiful holes

I asked to have my own cart and was told I had to pay additional $25. I was fine with that but then I was given a gas one with no GPS. I already paid for a cart and then after paying double I received a lower grade.

Upon the turn after 9 holes, the snack bar was not open and we had to go to bar area (2pm on Saturday?). Pace of play was slow and saw ranger one time but never seemed to push the slow 4some ahead of us and guys behind us were hitting into us on 2 holes.

After 18 holes I parked cart by pro shop, gal asked if I would like my clubs cleaned (yes) I went inside to purchase some items. 3 young adults were visiting, workers I assumed, because of name tags. Never asked if I needed help or even acknowledged me.. I put down 3 items I had to purchase and left. When I went to my cart my clubs were still in cart and workers joking around . I carried my clubs to drop zone went and got my car pulled up (still. no help offered) loaded my clubs and left.

So disappointing because the course was enjoyable and the people I golfed with were pleasant but the customer service was definitely lacking. I get better service at my $75 city course back home.

Love this course but the pace of play is ridiculous.

Saw a couple marshalls but they did nothing to help.

Had to quit at hole 16 for an appointment, round was already 4:45 at that point. Paid $143 and couldn’t complete my round.

Bunker redesign looks great. Course was in fantastic condition this September. Lots of wildlife, deer, turkey, etc. The Ridge, Bear Dance,Arrowhead, are among my favorites on the south side of town.

Pace of play can vary on a weekend, recommend teeing off in the early mornings.

Don’t get me wrong, I had a good time playing here, but it feels like this course is cosplaying as a luxury vacation golf resort without the amenities to back it. The course itself was not particularly memorable other than one or two holes, the range was ripped to shreds to the point where I’d rather just hit off mats, and the pace of play was insufferable. 5 hour round, waiting at every tee box and no marshal to enforce the pace of play. There are several blind shots around corners, without much of a system of knowing when it’s OK to hit other than praying that the gps on the carts is up to date (hint, it wasn’t). So our group accidentally hit into the group ahead and we were also hit into several times. Overall, I would gladly play this course for $120-140 but I feel like $200/round is too steep for the experience, especially when there are gems like Murphy’s creek just down the road for $75.

Great course. Beautiful views. Fairways and greens were in great shape.
