Ranch Golf Course at Pole Creek Golf Club

About
Pole Creek Golf Club boasts 27 holes of championship golf, divided into three nines called the Ranch, the Meadow, and the Ridge. Though there are three different 18-hole combinations available, no matter which one you pick, you're guaranteed a round of classic Colorado mountain golf in a beautiful setting. The Ranch nine is more open than the others and the gently rolling meadows are less intimidating than the Ridge's dramatic hills. You'll face several tough carries over daunting hazards that include lakes, ponds, and strategically placed bunkers. Colorful native wildflowers accent the lush green meadows, making the golf course as scenic as it is challenging. The Ranch nine, along with the Meadow, are the more player friendly of Pole Creek's golf courses while the Ridge nine is formidable for even the best golfers.

Pro shop
I’ve played this course several times, the weather turned inclement to heavy winds and rain. We went to pro shop to ask if they would offer a rain check since we only played 5 holes. We were told they don’t make any profit from golf now and we could either wait it out or leave and contact golf now. For a course of this magnitude I was a bit taken back and disappointed by the gentlemen’s answer. Not sure if I would spend my money again there.
Amazing
Amazing views. Great value for the course. Pace of play was one of the best I’ve had this year. Highly recommend this course.
No words
This is my favorite mountain course! Words can’t describe how special it is to me. As soon as I finish a round here I am working on a plan to return again! Love Pole Creek!
Great Course
Have debated for weeks for pull the trigger on this course as I ski in the area in the winter. So glad I did. Played Ranch/Ridge. Ridge is in the hills for sure, lots of elevation changes. Course is in great shape and greens are even better. I do wish the greens were a bit smoother and rolled a bit faster. Idk if this is a preference of the regulars but kinda bumpy and fuzzy.
Note: I give staff friendliness a 1 star because we saw the beer cart once and when I went in to the bar to get my card after, they self tipped themselves on one beer! I can understand a large group of 12 or something, but one beer! I don’t agree.
Great Moutain Golf Experience
Amazing views, beautiful course in excellant shape. Friendly staff. Top notch all the way around.
Fantastic Course
One of the BEST courses we have ever played. The only better venue was Kings Barns and we have played The Old Course, Ballybunion, Pine Hurst #2, Sea Island, Whistling Straits, Spanish Bay, Torrey Pines South, and a number of other great courses.
The views were incredible, the bunkers had good sand, the fairways were excellent, the greens rolled true! We played the Ranch 9/Ridge 9 - OUTSTANDING in every way!
Enjoyable day
First time to play Pole Creek but definitely not the last. Loved the course. Beautiful scenery and fairly wide fairways for the mountains. It will definitely be at the top of our list for courses to play in the Breckinridge area.
Mountain View’s for days!!
My favorite mountain course. Three 9’s to choose from. Can’t go wrong!!
Easier The Second Time Around
If playing Pole Creek, you should try to play the Ranch/Ridge nines. Ridge is the best, followed by the Ranch.
Since we were familiar with the course, holes 1 & 3 were much easier to play. The Ranch is a nice course, flat except for holes 1 & 8.
I do not like the small GPS screen on the left pole of the cart. Hard to see with the glare and the small screen. Not sure the yardages were correct either.
If in the Fraser/Granby area - this is the place to play your golf.
Nice Course, The 2nd Best Nine at Pole Creek
Ranch ninie is the second best nine of the three. Relatively flat, except for holes 1 & 8. It is pretty course with the mountains in the background. Love the bunkering of all the Pole Creek courses, nicely edged. The par 3, 2nd hole is a great par 3.
Playing the course for the first time, holes 1 & 3 are difficult. Especially, since the GPS system was not working. Hole 1 is an uphill par 5, double dogleg to the right. Not sure where to hit your 2nd shot.
Hole 3 is a 90-degree dogleg left, that is uphill. You cannot see the fairway going up towards the green, They tell you to aim at the restroom. Visually, a tough hole.
Decent Course. Ranch & Ridge Are Better Nines
Pole Creek has 3 nines. The Ridge is the best, followed by the Ranch, then the Meadows.
Pole Creek has a nice a clubhouse and views are beautiful. The Meadows is a decent nine holes and a little tigher than the other two nines.
It had two gimmicky holes. Hole 5 woth a split fairway with a creek in-between, with high bushes. Not a visually pleasant hole. Hole 7 is a double dogleg left. When you stand on the 6th tee, the 7th green is at 4 o'clock. When you stand on the 7th tee, you're not sure where to hit the ball.
The GPS system is mounted on the left pole of the cart. Hard to see with the glare and a very small screen. I thought the yardages were not always correct and when you pointed to a spot to get the yardage, the remining yardage would not even point to the green.
We payed $111 to play the Meadows/Ranch on a Friday. On the holiday, we played Ranch/Ridge for $97. The prcing seemed strange.
Some of the Most Scenic Holes You Will Play
If you are in the Fraser/Granby area, this is the course to play. Pole Creek has 3 nines. Ridge is the best, followed by the Ranch and then the Meadows.
This nine has some of the most scenic holes you will ever play. You do have two uphill holes to get you to the higher elevations. 1 and 3. Hole 8 is a blind shot but you are at the highest point of the course - 8,812 feet above see level.
This nine is a must play.
Just beautiful.
Wonderful course. People were awesome and the course in great shape. Only problem is that no breakfast served. Staffing.
Annoyed
Pro shop seemed a little annoyed that we booked through golfnow
Beautiful views for days!
Probably the most beautiful golf course I’ve ever played!
Beautiful Course
The course was in phenomenal condition (especially the greens) and the scenery is beautiful. A good mix of easy to moderately challenging holes. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
