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.

Great time played in 3.5 hours

What a great place tough layout, but scoreable if you pick the right times to step on it!! Staff is awesome and even in the “winter time” it’s it AWESOME condition. The wind added an extra complexity that I have only seen playing the ocean course. 10/10 would recommend.

Mountain Golf Near the City

The Ridge at Castle Pines is a great course to take out of towners. Still close to the city, but offers a nice taste of mountain golf. The facility at The Ridge is very nice with a great staff, good restaurant, and a nice practice facility where range balls are included.

The Ridge is a great test and there is no lack of variety. From the first tee you get a nice taste of upcoming elevation changes throughout the round with a tee shot straight down the hill to a generous fairway. The rest of the course works its way up and down the hills of Castle Pines with very few holes being flat. Carts are a must on this course. (Included in green fees)

There are plenty of picturesque holes on The Ridge. The long par 3 7th over a ravine gives a nice view of the Denver area and the 5th hole from above. The 9th offers great views of the valley and foothills to the west. The tee shot on the 9th is a fun one with a blind landing area straight down the hill, hit it good and you will have a short pitch to the green below.

My favorite hole is the par 5 13th through the forest. A good tee shot will give you a shot at getting home in two, but you must keep it straight. Hit it left and you’ll be blocked out by trees, a creek runs down the right side of the fairway and can easily capture your ball. When the pin is set on the left side of the green your second shot can be totally blind, have fun!

If you are not playing the tips, make sure you step up to the back tee on hole 18. It is quite a spectacular view of 17 and the 18th fairway ahead of you, just be careful, it sits right on a cliff and there is not much room back there!

Conditions wise, The Ridge is usually in pretty good shape and the greens can get quite fast at times. It is one of the better tracks in the area. Prime pricing can get a little steep, but it is always worth playing if you can get a good deal!

Full price

I played 10 rounds at the Ridge this year and I can only think of a couple of them when the course was in good condition. They charged full price all year but never had traps raked, the greens and fairways were bad most of the year. I usually love this course but this year was very difficult to appreciate it and justify $120 rounds.

Save your money and hopefully they’ll be better next year.

Great course and views

Golfed with my wife . Great course , well maintained , interesting array of challenging holes . Only downer was the surly starter Glen who was rude and condescending when we circled back for a dropped head over ( nobody behind us ) “ not my job to clean up after you “ .

Attentive pro shop staff and bar staff
