The Ridge at Castle Pines North

5 hour round -- Felt like at least 6.

That said, course layout was interesting and challenging -- I would give the course itself 4 stars but it gets 1 star because of slow play and the following:

I only saw a beverage cart once, 2nd hole on the front 9. -- It was probably 95 out there today I was super dehydrated by 12 or 13 despite drinking 2 bottles of water and a gatorade I got at the turn.

Slow group ahead -- Had to wait on almost every tee box on the back 9.

Disappointed with the condition of the fairway bunkers -- Caked hard pan with large pieces of gravel. After managing to pick my ball out of one, I decided to just lift, rake, and replace.

For the price, I expected more. Do better Troon Golf.

We play this course 3-4 times a month and never on the weekend. It’s a very nice course and we would play more often but the pace of play is always 4.5 hrs or more per round during the week. It’s especially frustrating because we never see a ranger trying to keep golfers moving. We played today and had to wait for 5-10 minutes at most of the tee boxes to tee off. It was brutal as we played in the afternoon and temps were in the 80s. Let’s hope that the pace will improve as Fall approaches and the kids are back in school.

The people, pro shop, practice facility, course, restaurant/bar, and overall experience are the best. Course was in rough shape earlier this year. Looks absolutely spectacular now. What a great day!

Awesome course just overpriced in my opinion…..there are plenty other courses for $60-$80 that are in much better shape. Staff was fantastic!!

If you have time to wait on every shot and be at the course well over 5 1/2 hours you’ll love this place. Staff could care less about slow play. I’d be ashamed if I owned this place. Great views, horrible golf experience.

Amazing course layout. Few holes were less than green, but all in all I would definitely play this corse again. Need to allow carts in the parking lot for pick up and drop off.

We hadn't played the Ridge in a number of years so we decided to try it again. It was a very pleasant experience.

Troon golf manages this course and they do a very good job. All of the staff are friendly and efficient. The course is in excellent condition and there is a very good mix of short and long holes. This course is quite hilly so be prepared to hit uphill, downhill and sidehill shots. Pace of play was slow for the first few holes but the ranger sped up a slow group and we ended up playing in a little over 4 hours. We will be back.

Course was in great condition. The fairways were like greens and the greens were running true. Pace of play was perfect. Not slow and not rushed. I played in 4 hours and shot +3 for a 75. I will go back soon.
