Antler Creek Golf Course

This is quite possibly the worst golf course in the history of golf courses. I can't explain how bad the conditions were. $55 green fees for at best, playing pasture golf. I paid for 18 and quit after 9. I quit putting after 4 because you couldn't hit a putt without massive bumps. It is terrible.

I have worked Nationwide in construction for 30 years and had the opportunity to play many courses. This course has to be the worst course in the history of golf. The fairways were terrible, there were spots dead center of the fairway that was like hitting out of a pasture. The greens, honestly, had bumps and gaps that were so bad you couldn't hit a straight putt. $55 dollars!!!! I can't explain how bad this was.

Course did winter well at all. Fairways and greens very spotty. Course is not for high handicap players. Most spend way to much time looking for their ball resulting in at least a five hour round.

Use hot deal for cheaper prices. The course was in bad shape but that was most likely due to Colorado weather lately. Overall the military courses I have played recently are in way better condition.

It appears that the course has not done any watering yet. Fairways and greens were 80% dormant. Any putt over 8 ft was a rollercoaster.

Total rip off- payed 55 dollars

for a course that is worth maybe

2 dollars - course conditions terrible,

smelly and not manicured at all.

Took an hour exactly to play 4 holes. Although not common it’s ridiculous there is no Marshall on weekends in sight. But the true fact was the absolute horrible conditions. I played 3 local courses in the previous week and they are 100% better, this is the worst track I have seen in years. It’s way behind. I took some phots of the fairway, the fairway! Also the bunkers have gravel, not sand and are not racked or dragged. It’s a sloppy unkept mess

Have played the course a few times this year and the grounds crew has done a good job improving the course. Tees, fairways and greens were much better than last time I played. Will play it again if the weather holds. Good job.

We played on a weekday and the course was in good shape considering the harsh winter. One person remarked that there had been great improvement over the past month because they lost some of the course to winter kill.

We stopped by the 19th for lunch and the food is great. I'd have lunch here any day I play. Friendly staff in the clubhouse and at the 19th.

I thought the conditions were good and the course was well maintained and seems to be on the mend. The greens were rolling fairly consistent, true, and reasonably fast.

I only gave 3 stars - course is recovering but not 100% yet. If it were pristine, this would be a top pick for me - keep up the good work.

My complaint is the pin positions for the day - stupid. Really stupid. I can understand 1, maybe two pin placements on a slope, but there were at least 8 pins located in ridiculous positions on the side of a slope in the green. If I'm 4' above the hole and just get the ball moving, I shouldn't be faced with a 10' putt coming back up hill that rolls back to my feet when I miss it. This is a hinderance to pace of play and frustrating to good putters.

The USGA has guidelines for pin placement, I suggest the super review that with whoever is cutting holes:

An area two to three feet in radius around the hole should be as nearly level as possible and of uniform grade. In no case should holes be located in tricky places, or on sharp slopes where a ball can gather speed. A player above the hole should be able to stop the ball at the hole.

Your greens have great places for pins and you should use them.

The course is beautiful right now. Well maintained greens and picturesque views of the front range make this course a must play.

Not easy, But if you play good straight.

No problem.

As of this weekend, this is absolutely my favorite Colorado course. Played here twice this year so far and it is in beautiful shape. If you haven't got the chance to play Antler Creek please do so. Greens are in great shape and the staff was friendly and helpful.

I look forward to playing Antler Creek again but with my friends this time around. I will be beat them too!

Ok so. I wanted so badly to love this course... But that was not the case

Staff: I was not greeted by any pro shop staff. Once I get not their attention all I got was "tee time?" And "last name?" And then "here's your cart key". Had to figure out where the carts were by myself and was given no direction to the 1st tee. Was never offered range balls.

Course: the pictures on the website might be the most misleading pictures of all time. I have played many golf courses throughout the U.S and this was by far the worst conditions I have ever played. They can blame it on the bad winter, or the dry summer, but I have played 10+ courses in the area and none of which were even close to the devistation this course had on display. Fairways: unplayable. Tee boxes: horrible. Greens: Inconsistent and spotty.

So why 2 stars and not 1 you ask? 2 reasons; 1: it is a "bucket list course" being 6th longest in the world and 3rd in the U.S. 2: The food/Bev service was solid and the food tasted good.

Overall Colorado has some AWESOME golf (Colorado National has been a great deal this summer) and there are many many other options out there. Take your money elsewhere (maybe spend an extra $15-20) and play a course that actually has grass in the fairways.

Interestingly, I played this 7/13/18 & 7/20/18. In that interim, the course has changed a bit. On 7/13/18, the fairways were green, #1 was even wet! By 7/20/18, the hot weather appears to be taking a toll as some spots are getting almost Scottish burned out in a few places, and the turf is cracking a bit. If you can ignore that, the course is still very fun and overall green. There was a tournament preceding us and a 5 some just before us. Fortunately, the 5 some was kind enough to let us pass. The greens turned out to be a tad different than the practice green (slower and a bit wobby), but pick straighter lines with more vigorous energy in your putts, know that you'll stick more greens, and you'll be fine. This was the first time riding the course, it's far less effort. The nice temperatures made for a relief from the Denver heat. The 19th hole made for a good dinner on the patio, although the happy hour special of $0.01/final score made you wish you finished before 6p. This was a fun day!

I love this course because it challenges you at every hole. The fairways are a little rough in some areas but it is Colorado and it can get really dry. The greens are in amazing shape and can be a little quick. Overall, for the price, this is a great course for a beginner to your seasoned pro.

This place is beautiful with a capital B. Greens are well maintained as well as the fairways and boxes.

Conditions MUCH IMPROVED over the last two months. Fairways were in very good shape and considerable work has been done on the bunkers. Greens rolled nicely but were very SLOW....too slow in my opinion. I played the course back in April and the condition was very poor. It's obvious that the staff has put in a great amount of energy and effort to get it back in shape. If you had a bad experience in the spring, I say give it another shot!
