Murphy Creek Golf Course
About
Murphy Creek Golf Course is a public, 18-hole course with a links-style layout that was designed by Ken Kavanaugh. The course is prairie-like with a gently rolling terrain. It stretches over 7,548 yards from its longest tees, playing to a par of 72. The layout is quite challenging with several lengthy holes and well-bunkered greens. Due to the openness of the golf course, wind also becomes a difficult factor of the game. The natural landscape includes small lakes and creeks that create water hazards as well as a few trees sprinkled throughout. Murphy Creek Golf Course is also known for being immaculately maintained.

Great track!
Friendly and accommodating staff, great pace of play and challenging bunkers await your tee shot! Loved the course and will return.
Course is in Terrible Shape - Do not waste your $&
Can’t believe they have completely loat the course and ita only June. Dirt patches and weeds everywhere. Dormant and dead grass all around. Tre boxes and bumkers are shaggy and rock hard. Goose poop everywhere. Love the garbage smell of landfill next door. What a shame fot a course with a solid design and layout. Super should be embarrassed by the course conditions. Nearly unplayable. Add some wind and you are guaranteed a miserable round. 👎👎
Dirt and Weed Track!
Terrible conditions. They have loat the coirse already by June. Dirt patches and weeds everywhere. Course is bone dry and shaggy. Terrible conditions. Inconsistent roll everywhere. Superintendent should be embarrassed! What a shame. Course design and layout has potential. Just needs water and proper maintenance. 👎👎
Golf courses
Everything thing was great. Hot Dog very expensive 8.32 for a hot dog. Give me a break you crooks.
Great Course
Was in town visiting my brother during an unusual warm March week. They are doing a great job at this course especially considering the drought conditions the area is seeing. Got to hit every club in the bag. Fast greens! Bring your putting A game. A true gem of a course. Will play every time I visit CO.
Great course, terrible pace
Because of the dry, warm winter, the course was walking only. I prefer to walk, so I didn’t mind. Clearly, not everyone playing has experience walking while keeping a reasonable pace. It was over 3 hours to play the first nine, although the back did pick up a bit.
The course was great, and was in great shape. I would love to play it again, but waiting up to 20 minutes at each tee box and another 10 to hit many approach shots made the round far less enjoyable than it should have been.
There were staff members out, but they seemed unwilling or unable to get people moving. It’s a shame because other than pace, the round would have been perfect.
What a hidden gem
Amazing course, and for it to be in the shape it is for December is impressive. Challenging, deep bunkers. Long Linx course. Loved it! 7HCP
Great walk
Such a fun, walkable course, great value, great condition.
STUPID GOOD COURSE
Better make sure you play from the correct tees due to difficulty. This bear of a course will show it's teeth immediately. I was regretting my blue tee section, but had a great time playing with some strapping younger gents. Large, deep fairway bunkers come into play on almost every hole. The pro shop staff was fantastic as was the on-course staff. In addition to the great course, the bar/restaurant was a great time. Met many new friends. Being from Tampa, the weather was perfect. Will definitely play here again next time we are in town.
