Great time!
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.
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
Course A+ Service D
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.
5+ hour round
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.
A Local Fave
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.
Lackluster
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.
Bobcat family on 14
Beautiful course, excellent staff, the right amount of challenge for me personally, and probably the most fun holes I’ve played all year. Only gripe was some slow play into a multi-group traffic jam on the last two holes that prevented me from finishing 18, but I started at 4:40 and went in not expecting to get a full round in. Mostly bummed because 17/18 looked pretty rad, and it seemed possible right up until that point. Also saw some bobcats on 14.
Over 5 and a half hours to play this course
The pace of play was horrendous. Two groups on virtually every tee box. Not a Marshall to be seen all day. When groups called in to the pro shop they were told “it’s been slow all day”….!?!? The course is a nice course and in decent shape…..but paying nearly $200 for this lousy experience does not even come close to being worth it. I will not try it again.
Five Hour and 10 Minute Round of Golf
The Ridge at Castle Pines is a nice course. Unfortunately whoever is managing the course has gotten a bit greedy and has raised the greens fees to over $200…..hence the value for money rating. The pace of play that is “on track” according to the cart display appears to be over 4 and a half hours….meaning you can play slow as heck and still be “on pace”. In addition we never saw a Marshall. On most tee boxes there would be 2 to 3 groups. It is a pretty area but standing around that much is tedious. I will not play here again.
Gimme a roll(er)
Overall, I have a lot positives to give about this course. The rate was fair. The staff (pro shop, bag attendants, bev cart) all super friendly, and engaging. The layout is super fun, challenging, but not crazy, and (Gold tees) a good mix of short and long. The bunkers were in excellent shape with a nice base of sand (too bad a few golfers forgot that there are rakes out there). The tee pads, fairways, and green fringes were all in very good shape. The greens…fairly quick (11-ish maybe), but here’s why no 5-star rating…the turf conditions on the greens. It was nearly impossible to putt with any consistency. Image putting on tile with deep grout groves, or shag carpet with varying depths, the greens need to be rolled so badly, not to mention (2:10p tee time) most of the holes were “volcanoes” from poor technique when cutting them. I still had a good outing, but it could have been wonderful! I would recommend this course, but PLEASE roll the greens!
Challenging and beautiful golf course
The Ridge at Castle Pines North is really a step above most courses. First of all, It's run by Troon Golf. The course was in good shape (both fairways and greens) except for a few fairways that seemed to perhaps still have some winter kill. As is the case with many courses these days, there's not enough sand in bunkers which causes problems. The pace of play was 4hr 50min which seems about the norm these days on weekends at any course. I would say 13 of the 18 holes were really beautiful and the other 5 were nice as well. Good views to the mountains nearby. Strangely, they have no water dispensers anywhere on the course. You have to refill you water at the turn. There was on instance where a staff member came by with free water bottles and they had 2 water bottles on ice already in the cart. There was a quick spot to get refreshments, brats/hot dogs at the turn. I really enjoyed my round and will be back
