Colorado National Golf Club
About
The golf course at the Colorado National Golf Club is an 18-hole, public course that is situated just 20 minutes north of Denver. Jay Morrish designed the formerly known as Vista Ridge golf course with a traditional links-style layout. The course covers 7,579 yards of golf from its longest tees and plays to a par of 72. Rolling fairways lined with native grasses and large, undulating greens make the golf course interesting, while beautiful views of snow-topped mountains provide pleasant scenery. The course has many bunkers as well as water hazards. Colorado National Golf Club also features five sets of tee boxes for golfers to work on a number of different handicaps.

Golfer Reviews
Great variety and challenging from the Gold Tees
The course layout is excellent. It's getting late in the season (November); but the course is still very playable and in good condition. Greens putted well. Play was fast and good prices are available on Golf-Now,
it was ok
ok course. our twosome got there 45 minutes early but the starter let some walkons start before us. Course allowed a 5-some of ladies for an entire 18 holes of play.
Nice vistas but course needs help!
Nice staff, bar and restaurant. Scenic location, great views of the front range. Course in ragged shape, too much sand on tee boxes, fairways ok. Greens were either really slow or dried out and very fast. No consistency on green speed.
The ranger left early for a busy weekend golf course. 4 groups on the par 5 on the back, when we asked the cart girl ( friendly!) where the ranger was, we were told he went home!!
We paid for 18 but only played 9 because it was TOO SLOW! A round killer.
Course is great, pace of play slow
Course is well kept and fun to play. Pace of play was extremely slow, no rangers in site to keep pace going.
It's not what they think it is.
Poorly managed coarse, the pro shop, the driving range and the coarse itself. I will place it on my top 10 worse coarses I've played in Colorado.
In great shape
Course was in great condition, pretty difficult pin placement, fast greens
Decent course needs work
This is one of the few courses north of Denver that can challenge your game to the max. The greens still need improvement here but the rest of the maintenance was very good. The staff was decent but the clientele could use some humbling...
nice course I like it
Colorado National is a nice golf course well maintained the only problem that I had was the pace of play over 5 hours to play 16 holes
very challenging greens
The greens were very short and sandy most likely due to the time of year played. very fast...
Muddy bunkers and staff spoil a nice course
When my group arrived we were told "you'll have to play the front nine twice since the back nine is closed because they didn't get finished aerated yesterday". The range was closed because they were still mowing it (at 9 AM!). The sand bunkers were muddy and in a few cases unplayable. The fairways were in good shape and the layout is still terrific (although the back nine is the better half). Lunch was disappointing at what used to be one of the better golf course restaurants in the area. I am concerned one of my favorite courses needs to wake up.
Poor condition. Featureless course.
Most expensive course played this year and easily one of the worst. Play was painfully slow. Everything from buckled concrete cart paths to beat up greens shows the quality or lack there of. Half the practice areas are blocked off for members only. No chipping green for non-members!? Really? Plenty of other courses to play in the area. Don't waste your time here.
A nice open course with great greens
This course has become one of my favorites. It has long fairways with challenging but not punishing features.
The Greens are also interesting with out being impossible to read
Great views, Greens fast but true
Would like to see free range balls, maybe towels on the cart and faster cart personnel. Not happy when two hole are closed to carts in mid August?
A little dissapointed...
I really love the layout but the fairways are a little baked and there are some really worn spots. The greens were bumpy and sandy. I have no idea why they would aerate greens in August in Colorado but I'm no greens keeper or horticulturist. Overall a little disappointed with the condition of the course. Good value for $20 for Twighlight though.
Great course, overbooked though
I'd play this course often because it's so close to my apartment. The only problem is, it's ALWAYS overbooked and pace of play is something that is an afterthought to the people that run the show here. It's a beautiful course with beautiful views and decently maintained. Someone forgot to tell the players to fix their ball marks in the greens though. Its like a minefield playing these greens. No ranger to be found anywhere. When there's three groups waiting per hole, something's not right....
Great view of the Rockies
This is a great course. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The view of the Rockies was incredible
Best Course in Colorado
They don't call it the Colorado National Golf Club for nothing, this course is beautiful and great for any skill level. One of the longest courses I've ever played, you feel like you're really getting your money's worth when it takes a good 4+ hours to finish all 18, and that's with a cart. The carts are well maintained, the GPS is a welcomed feature, the course is very well groomed, and the facilities are emaculate. Book a tee time during the off hours on Golf Now and you could pay around $20 like I did...don't pay full price at the club house!
Course in great shape, recommend early tee time, and watch out for mosquitos!
Played first tee time available (6am) in August '13 so we didn't have to worry about pace of play, and course was in great shape. Fairways and greens were well maintained (except for a few ballmarks, which just shows greens get a lot of rounds played on them). Rough was wet and thick in the morning and was a pretty big penalty if you miss the fairway. Only complaint was that I read dozens of reviews before playing here and nobody mentioned the mosquitos. I am traditionally a favorite target for the little blood-suckers, and was eaten alive. But had a great round, done in 3 hours, and if I had bug spray, would've been perfect!
