Fun course well maintained

This course has a great mountain course layout without having to go to the mountains. The conditions are on par for the greens fee. If it were a bit less expensive I would play more often. And they rarely have deals, even on golf now. Other minor issues are the lack of water stations and they only have beverage cart service on Fri to sun. Their on cart gps also did not work for us but with phone apps and yardage finders everyone has this is not that big of an issue other than its probably priced into their greens fees. I would recommend this course for occasional play but the price point is a bit high to play on a regular basis

Challenging with great views

Played on a Sunday afternoon, course was in good condition for this time of year and pace of play was fine. Only negative was cart path only rule which we did not know ahead of time, seems to be a frequent issue at this course. Given the significant elevation changes this maybe too much for some. There are great views from various holes, would play again.

Accuracy test

I’ve always loved this course. The challenging layout amongst scrub oak valleys. We were within 50’ of deer several times. Be aware, if you don’t like sand traps, this course is lousy with deep ones and the green s have lots of undulations. Bottom line, this course is challenging in every aspect of the game and not for beginners.

Nice views

The layout is good, beautiful views. Course is in ok shape for the time of year but needs some water. Not worth the normal rate but twilight rate was doable.

Overall great course

Beautiful layout with plenty of obstacles. Played with members who were friendly and helpful. Bunkers need help, rocks and some hard pan. Otherwise staff was friendly and would definitely play again.

One of the best courses I’ve ever played

8 handicap here. Shot a 89 yesterday and had the time of my golfing life. Walked 18 and it was the hardest walking round of my playing career. The course was in amazing shape, greens were a little sandy, but overall in good condition for this time of year. I don’t agree with other reviews about the back 9 being spectacular and the front 9 being mediocre with houses lining the fairways. My humble opinion is that the front 9 is just as spectacular as the back 9. The houses are actually not that thick, and they’re beautiful homes to have to look at. I could but only admire. The course design and awesome topography shifts more than make up for any perceived flaws from houses vs. woods front and back nonsense. The holes are breathtaking in their own unique mountain beauty and each can play in a way that makes you want to play each one in a thousand different ways. Bring your A-game, the course is challenging in the funnest of ways. Staff was very friendly!

Five hour rounds are no fun!

Five hour plus rounds are a constant issue at this course. In addition, they cram public play in between tournaments. Not worth the money they charge. Also, today was "cart path only" which they did not tell us at the time of booking. And yet the group behind us was driving all over the fairway on each hole! Where is a marshal to enforce the rules? Won't ever be back here. And I used to be a "Ridge Pass" member for several years.

Too many other good golf courses to play in the Denver metro area that treat their guests better than this course!

$85j for cart path only, bathrooms are not available on the course, no beverage cart, ....

Greens were in good condition as were the fairways. Bunkers are FULL of gravel, so be careful since you will probably damage your club hitting out of the rocks (not really sand)

Beautiful Course Views

I would go back for the views and hopefully get a less windy day. No big deal and nobody can control the weather. Pace of play was slow especially on back 9.

I was underwhelmed by the selection of pro shop merchandise and while the staff was friendly at the counter I found the rest of the staff to be unwelcoming. No food at the restaurant which was a let down. The course is convenient off I 25 and fun to play. I would go back but pack my own lunch.

Not sure why price is so high

No course ranger so pace of play was so. Dirt traps instead of sand which is crazy. Bathrooms closed. Cart path only. No beverage cart. Charging full price for an experience that lacks

A wet golfing adventure

I had been looking forward to playing this course for some time. Was able to get a late afternoon tee time and due to that, pace of play was a little slow. Of course it is a challenging course and the weather that day was cold, wet and windy so that slows everyone down. The layout was unique and fun and the conditions were 4 stars. I would say this falls short of "bucket list" golf, but definitely a great option.
