Colorado National Golf Club

I've enjoyed playing this course from all men's tees except the full back since the course opened as Vista Ridge some years ago. The course has been in better condition as, it appears, players are gouging fairways, ripping divots more than an inch deep and not replacing the torn turf and leaving deep ball marks in every green. I repaired at least three ball marks on every green, but could not save the fairways, as most of the "pelts" were dried and yards from the divot patch. One green was closed and under repair and using a temporary green about 30 yards short of the normal green.
Overall, this was a great value and another great day in Colorado!
Food and service in the bar/grill was excellent! I can recommend the Club sandwich, but you my want to ask that the third piece of bread be left off - otherwise the best I've had in years!

The guys working the desk are unfriendly (jerks to be honest). The course is a disaster. Greens are embarrassing. I live right down the street, and will drive out of my way to go somewhere else. Played here 20-30 times over the past 6 years or so, and I have given enough chances. Won't return and can't recommend.

Bummer

Played gold tees and scored ok but will know course better for next round. Tips from GPS are solid and useful.

I cannot believe they are charging more than $20 to play these greens. Nothing is more frustrating to me than having no idea if a good putt is going to roll true. I play a lot, and I like co national's design, but these greens are unforgivable

Had a GREAT day w/my wife yesterday out at CO Nat'l.
Greens were FINALLY in great shape and running true. Totally nice track. Excellent pace of play were we had no one in front and a group getting on tee box as we were walking off the green - couldn't be more perfect!

the reception at the front desk could have been more friendly. greens and fairways are in need of some work/repair. one would think that such a course would be in better shape. also, there was temporary green. no mention of that before we teed off. when i pay for 18 holes, i expect to be putting on 18 greens! i still would recommend playing this course because i've played it when it was in better condition. but before making your reservation, call and ask questions about their conditions.

I played out there on August 30. The greens are in the worst shape I've ever seen. They have one green on the front nine closed, so you have to play to a temporary green, which is the shaved fairway in front of the original green. The kicker is they still charge full price to play the course, when it is in terrible shape.

I found a great deal on golf now and was pleased with the price. This course is challenging and beautiful. Any up keep needs to focused on the greens and green side bunkers. The greens are patchy and inconsistent. The bunkers are not soft, there is a top layer crust that makes it difficult to play.

Our experience started off by being treated terribly in the clubhouse. We paid over $200 for greens fees and club rental. Which, by the way, club rentals are outrageous for the terrible clubs they give you. The pace of play was unbearable. It took us 3 hours to play 8 holes before we just gave up. We even paid for 18 but left after 8. The condition of the course was not great, especially considering the greens fees were so high. I will never go back to this course and play and whoever was working in the clubhouse should be fired for how rude he was to us. Will never go back.

I like CO National in many ways: nice layout, good facilities. But it has consistent problems with course upkeep, and this round was a new low. The greens are uniformly awful, and many of the fairways were swamps. On top of that, my cart ran out of juice after nine holes, so I ended up walking in for a new one. This course is evidence of the hard times muni courses are up against these days, I guess.

The greens were terrible. Maybe get that fixed. But go Buffs.

I just recently moved back to the area and Colorado National has always been a favorite track. The layout is challenging and conditions of course is great... except for the greens! It has been a long time since I've played on greens this bad. Hopefully it is a short term problem but I would not recommend it until the greens return to previous condition.

I have played this course several times this year, and this round was a complete disappointment. The greens were in horrible shape. Not sure what was going on, but several greens had bare dead spots, one green was so bad they had a temporary green. The green conditions made it nearly impossible to make a putt no matter the distance. Ive putted on aerated greens that polled better than these.

the greens look shaggy and as though they need a hair cut. I haven't played on greens in their (poorly kept)shape for many years

About 30% of the green surfaces were soil/pitted/bare. I will not play this course again. No mention of temp green on # 3 that was damaged 4 years ago or greens damage @ check-in. Fairways were in OK shape. Tee boxes were gouged and sand filled with no seed evident. This course was very nice in past but has gone off the rails. I can't believe CU has not pulled out. Certainly not up to a collegiate event. It's got to be embarrassing for staff to endure through this catastrophe. Played with a local that lives on the course and he won"t bring friends...it is that bad!!!

The course has a great mix of long holes and short, only real complaint was that the greens were terrible, hole 3 has a temporary green in the middle of summer.

I have played the course many times. Never experienced such poor maintenance on the greens.

Greens are horrible! The coarse has been very nice in years past. Greens are the worst I've played in the area. Took some clients out and was fairly embarrassing. Lots of options I could have picked from!

Everything about the course and experience was great, except for the greens. Many were in poor condition. Layout outstanding with lots of tee options. Would love to play agai when greens are in better shape.

Course in horrible shape. Greens are worse. Would not recommend playing not worth the money.
