Golfer Reviews
Best public course in Colorado
This course is always in great shape and the staff is awesome
Nice Course Horrible Pace of Play
I love this course, but will not be coming back. Almost 6 hours to play 18 is unacceptable. Let the outside service staff know it was playing slow and he laughed and comment "it's that time of the year". It is NEVER that time of the year for almost a 6 hour round. At one point there were 4 groups waiting on the 10th tee. Additionally there are usually 2-3 greens that are in very poor shape. Fix the pace and the green conditions on the back 9 and I'd consider coming back, till then there are much better options for the price.
Mixed
I was very impressed with the off the course amenities. 4-stars.
The front was in great shape, the greens were challenging, but 12-16 greens were in horrible shape. Was like putting on carpet. All of the bunkers were in terrible shape. Was nervous hitting out of the with all of the rocks within the bunkers.
Overall, I was pleased with my experience. Just would like to see a course of this level, have much better sand and maintained bunkers.
Dear dfuller78,
Thank you for providing feedback regarding your recent experience. We appreciate this feedback as it helps us moving forward.
We did have a tough winter on the back nine (greens 12-16) with limited sunshine and limited snow cover. This created some areas that had to be completely reseeded. The process is nearly complete, and should be 100% within the next week or two.
The bunkers are certainly in need of repair. We have a maintenance plan in place this summer to add sand to each bunker, improving the overall playability. The hope is in the future, to do a complete overhaul of the bunkers. Total cost is in the $750k - $1m mark, making it a large capital investment.
We hope to see you again soon, and certainly hope the information above helps explain our plan moving forward. We value our guest experience, and put agronomy at the top of the list when it comes to importance.
Thanks for your time, and let me know if I can help further.

Awful
Conditions were poor. No
Amenities.
Poor value!
Dear u607449214,
Thanks for your comments, and for visiting the Ridge. Sorry to hear that your experience wasn't up to par.
We have had numerous comments that the golf course conditions are the best in the Denver market for this time of year. Certainly would like the opportunity to discuss this further with you as this is concerning to me.
I am additionally concerned with the comments regarding golf course amenities as we do our best to provide the extra service that you would typically find at Troon facilities. We would love to find out where we fell short, so we can improve moving forward.
I appreciate your time and looking forward to hearing from you. I can be reached at 720.360.4352.

Must have been a tough winter - Course conditions
We booked a twosome to play on April 8th. I was not happy with the conditions on the back 9, holes 12,13,14,15 were worse than all the previous years in the last 15 years. No mention of the condition at check in. I know those holes typically have shade and are slow to melt, but the fairway on 13 and the greens on those holes were horrible.
Thanks for your review! We appreciate your comments and feedback.
We apologize that we didn't mention these conditions at checkin. The Ridge is at 6500' and has several holes that don't see sun in the winter months. Typically those holes see the worst of it. We have since reseeded and topdressed to start healthy grass growth on the shaded spots.
We do discount fees due to this in the spring as we know our golf course is not in its summer form. Come play us again in a week or so and things will be on the upswing!
Thanks and have a great day

First time playing but not the last
The course was fair and interesting. Loved the elevation changes and hunkering. The conditions for mid March were better than expected. Fairways were lush to hit from. I wish cart paths only were not in effect but still got thru in 4.5 hours as a foursome. I understand the need to protect the turf in the early season
Well done!!!
Ed
Ed,
Thanks for visiting the Ridge! Happy to hear that your experience went well. Give us a try in a couple of months when we are in prime condition!
Have a great day.

Beautiful Golf Course
Every time I play this golf course it is enjoyable. Amazing views, creative golf holes, and perfect conditions make for an awesome round anytime you play. It's a little pricey but worth it to play at least once. The back nine is the better of the 2 in my opinion. It meanders through a forest and has some great holes with dramatic elevation change. I'd highly recommend playing if you have the chance.
Should be a 4 or 5 star course
Staff over watered (we haven't had rain in weeks) and forced us to take cart path only. Pace of play sucked also because they clearly stacked the tee sheets too full. We waited long periods on every hole for the group in front of us and always felt rushed by the group behind us on every hole also. When will courses realize 10-12 minutes between tee times really isn't a big deal??? With this layout this should be one of the best places to play in the state, but the staff keeps stepping on their own toes by doing stuff that's dumb.
Dear jd6236,
Thanks for your comments and for playing the Ridge! We really appreciate your feedback as it helps us pinpoint areas of concern.
I would like the opportunity to take this conversation offline, and help explain our turf practices in the Winter months. I appologize that your day was not up to par, and we would like the opportunity to make things right. I can be reached at 720.360.4352.
Thanks for the feedback and I appreciate your time.

Tough course
The course was in great shape, great views and scenerie. A must play. Cart path only rule was the only downside.
Dear u397214656,
Thanks for playing the Ridge! Come back and see us again soon.

Outstanding and challenging!
From an avid golfers perspective, this course is a must play annually from here on.
The par 3's are terrific and the course conditions were exceptional! Hole # 18 is a must see!
Dear u000006523844,
Thanks for visiting the Ridge! 18 is a great hole! We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Beautiful course but don't play after 3pm
Course is beautiful. Well set up but there isn't a Marshall after 3pm. I finished front 9 in a hour and 25 minutes, back thru 14 over 2 hours and couldn't finish due to darkness. I went to this course because I heard of how beautiful it was but didn't get to play the nicest hole on the course 18. Very disappointing. I believe if they had a Marshall it would have been fine. Plus, the money you pay to play course. They should have a Marshall!!! No excuse....
Dear u188327637,
Thanks for your review of our facility! I am happy to hear that your enjoyed the golf course, as well as the setup. We are happy to have such a great property!
As far as playing after 3pm, I will agree. We discount tee times or twilight times after 3pm as the chance of finishing 18 holes does go down. We will review our scheduling of a ranger in the later afternoon.
Thanks for your comments and have a great day!

Great layout
Course was in great shape and pace of play was pretty quick for a Saturday afternoon.
Adnrew3307674,
Thank you for your review! Please come see us again soon for your next round!

Unreal course
This course was my favorite to play in the Denver area. The views are unbelievable!!! The course itself is in pristine condition. The greens we're rolling an 11. The rough was thick and will challenge you. The elevation changes make this course a memorable experience. If you are in Denver and want to play a great round, play the Ridge! It was well worth the time and money.
Thank you for the great review! We are excited that you enjoyed your round of golf. Come see us again in the near future.
Safe travels!

Unfortunate the Mgmt doesn't spend money on the course
The Ridge at Castle Pines prides themselves as the best front range golf course in Colorado. Many, many a tournaments held here. All season, this year, the bunkers are the worst ever! To say they have rocks puts it mildly. Some have equal rocks to sand, looks more like road sand. Poor quality! Damages clubs! We were told the bunkers have no drainage and when it rains, often this year, they have to hose suck the water which also removes sand (any good sand left). A friend recently paid $150.00 a round and said the course quality was more like an unmaintained local course. What a shame too, the views are spectacular. Please, please, spend some of your income from overpriced players to maintain the bunkers/course to a quality facility. Also NEVER leave your clubs there while you go for a drink/food. Another friend had a collectable putter disappear.
Dear golfmel24,
Thank you for your concerns regarding your experience at the Ridge. We would love the opportunity to discuss these concerns over a coffee or lunch. I may be reached at 720.360.4352 to discuss further.
Have a great weekend!

Worth a go!
I honestly couldn't believe the standard of this course coming out of ski season... Awesome! The staff are always really polite and professional and although it's a pricey course, especially seeing as Colorado has an average of $40 ish and this place is $100 off peak and considerably more peak but it's worth it! Weekday rounds can be quick and really enjoyable! Long story short, definitely recommended with excellent fairways and fast/greens. Tip: Don't be tempted to always club up or down with the induration as I seemed to have minimal difference either way.
Dear Jeff,
Thanks for your kind words! Please come see us again soon.
