About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 7044 yards
Slope 147
Rating 73.7

Legendary golf architects Pete Dye and Perry Dye designed the 18-hole, private course at Plum Creek Golf and Country Club, located in Castle Rock. Opened in 1984, the golf course features 7,044 yards of golf from its championship tees, playing to a par of 72. Dye included various different challenges in this golf course, causing some locals to say that it possesses some of the most difficult holes in the state. The hilly terrain of the well-bunkered course causes many uneven lies. Water hazards also come into play on some holes. Plum Creek Golf and Country Club boasts beautiful views of Castle Rock and the Rockies.

Tough conditions

With the continued dry weather, the hard fairways and firm greens make the course very unforgiving. But the staff has done a great job in keeping the tees and greens in excellent condition. I do not recommend the course for high handicaps or beginners.

Not a super great experience

Made my booking for 5:03pm for the first twilight time. Got pushed back to 5:12pm. Didn’t get to tee off until around 5:18pm. Then had a very slow group of 4 in front of us. Pace of play was extremely slow. Didn’t get to finish the round. Wouldn’t recommend.

Didn’t feel like a Club course

Drought conditions may have changed the feel

If this course, but didn’t seem well kept. Essentially dirt driving range. Member/Guest day no doubt slowed play, but 5 hours was tough. Expensive for what felt like a municipal course.

Good Course; Extremely Slow Play

A group of 6 was allowed and it was very slow. Our round took 5 hours, primarily due to the group of six.

Excellent Round on a Fantastic Course

Plum Creek is a gem. Pete Dye design modernized and brought back to top condition. Challenging but very fair. Great setting. On course staff were awesome and friendly. Clubhouse has a great indoor/outdoor bar/restaurant. Like a fun sports bar with tons of TVs. Had lunch and watched the FIFA World Cup for a bit.

Overall a great round played with some friendly members. Love this course and plan to play again soon.

Great Course Conditions

Beautiful day — beautiful course! The layout is nice and challenging, and it’s in great condition with soft bunkers ;) Pace of play on a Saturday can be tough anywhere, but to finish about 20 minutes over is pretty good here! Had a great time with the people we were paired up with — and all but one staff were great!

(Still shaking my head over an unfriendly and grumpy bartender—not a good way to start the day—that encounter doesn’t fit the overall vibe and good experience that we ended up having.)

Plum Creek is always solid

From the staff to the practice areas, to the course conditions every part is great. The only things I’d change are the price and the staff inside the bar. They never seem friendly but the rest of the staff is great

Fine golf course

Played here about 5 years ago and was not impressed. Course conditions were awful. Pleased to report course is in great condition, greens were fabulous and staff was very friendly. New ownership made a world of difference!

Little steep green fee but great course!

Beautiful course and challenging. Staff were nice. Greens were a little rough in spots but overall good. Hard to give 5 stars when breaking the bank at $160 a round but that’s my only negative feedback.

Great course. But pricey

Super cool Pete Dye design course. I honestly had no idea. It was a Pete Dye course until I showed up and it did not disappoint. The layout like any of his forces you to think and use your brain a lot as to where you want to hit the ball

Small landing areas and small greens and water when you’re at your most tired on 16 17 and 18. I see pricey as I thought for the cost you could provide at least a bucket green balls.
