The Ridge at Castle Pines North

While on the expensive side this course is excellent and always in great shape. It is by no means easy it will challenge even the best players. Still very playable for your mid-handicapper. The bunkers are really horrible but that is the only drawback to this course.

For 150.00 a round you would hope they put sand in the bunkers, the course for the most part is in great shape but every bunker they have has huge rocks in them and NO sand so make sure you take some cheap wedges to play those shots! For as much as they charge to play there you would think it would be better, I play courses all over Colorado every week and this by far has the worst sand traps I have encountered, better courses for a lot less money, just my two cents

Booking directly with the course is much less expensive than golf now. They offer various rates based on age, etc.

The course conditions are always great. The layout is a lot of fun. It's a course that is more fun the second or third time as course knowledge is a huge advantage.

The price is over priced due to the fact that they don't offer a GPS or yardage book with the carts. There are a lot of times i'd love to know how it it is to a certain bunker, etc. I have a range finder, but a yardage book or cart GPS would be expected for a $145 / round course.

Pace of play sucks. Many high handicappers and groups on vacation play this course so you WILL get stuck behind a lot of slow players when playing Fri-Sun.

Beautiful course lots of changes in elavation very nice clubhouse and restaurant

I played The Ridge twice in one week and will definitely play it again.The staff was friendly, the range was in good shape (balls are a little old), the course conditions were overall excellent. The issue that people have been commenting about is the greens on 12-15. Frankly, big deal, they'll get better and we were forewarned that there was a problem from winter recovery here. I really liked the course. Wouldn't call it a walker's course, but it's not far off (a few holes had long green-to-next-tee distances). There are no throw away holes and the layout was interesting and required thinking. We played early and quickly. Pace of play was excellent. That's just good planning on our part...

We had lunch on one of the two days and it was good. The restaurant seemed to be designed by someone who dislikes light. Great patio and view of 18th green. First day starter/marshal was super friendly and informative. 2nd day, not so much, but we shook him off quickly. If you are thinking of playing this course, you should.

This course is always in great shape and the staff is awesome

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.

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.

Conditions were poor. No

Amenities.

Poor value!

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

I spend my birthday every year hopefully playing a comfortable and rewarding round of golf, this year was exceptional.

The course was in great shape, great views and scenerie. A must play. Cart path only rule was the only downside.

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!
