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
Rude Staff
Hanna refused refund for the back 9 that we didnt get to play because the front nine took us over 3 hours because of them letting a family with 2 small kids play. They refused refund and they treat guests like trash. Poor excuse for a golf "club"
Challenging track on a great piece of land.
We teed off at 6:30 a.m.
The views were awesome & the conditions were great. There are a lot of elevation changes here and it gets you thinking strategy on every tee box. The Greens were fast but they rolled true. This golf course is a great value.
Always Nice!
I love CNGC. It is always in good to great shape. Fun and challenging holes but fair for all levels. Plays long from the tips! Play the right tees for your ability.
Great track
This is a great track. Greens are a bit firm, but that seems to be the case at a lot of courses this year. The main complaint that I have is that it took 5 hours to play. That tells me that they overbooked a bit or they do not do a good job keeping on slow groups and their pace of play.
Nice Course
I've played this course a few times and had a blast, but this last time, the pace of play was brutal. Due to the terrain, the is not a course I would recommend to walk, but nonetheless, there were walkers slowing everyone down. The staff needs to strategically place walkers so that they will not hinder others. Slow play kills your game!
Links Course North of Denver
Course was challenging - especially the 580 yard Par 5. There was ample opportunity to get into trouble in the rough on this course. Pace of play was a bit slow following 2 groups who were 30 minutes behind the pace of play.
Tough pin placements on a Saturday
We played on 6/1/2013 and the course was in good shape overall. A few fairways had small patches of area under maintenance which appeared to be healing nicely. The greens were hard, firm and generally receptive to a good mid-iron shot. The pin placements were challenging for us. Many pins were tucked into the corners with little green to work with, or the pin was just on top of the second tier. I hadn't played here in a few years and now that I have returned to the course I want to play here several times a year.
Not worth the money
I can't believe that CU plays on this course. It was one of the worst maintained courses I've been on this year. The tee boxes and greens need lots of work. The lay out of this course is great and that’s all I can say that’s positive.
A fun, challenging course for all abilities. Slow pace of play.
This course is in great shape and it offers a real challenge for golfers of all abilities with five sets of tees. The staff is friendly and attentive. The one issue is slow play...five hour round due to slow players ahead of us and no marshall in sight on the back nine to hurry them along.
This course has great practice facility.
I like this course because the other holes don't run side by side. You are on your own hole the entire round. Nice to not have to worry about other balls coming at you from other holes.
Tough course with fun holes!
I always enjoy the home of the BUffs. Love the drivable par 4 on the back 9. Never make it over the water but a really fun hole. Staff is always fun. Might be the best looking female staff ever.
Great Layout! Cool theme and fun course.
I play this a couple times each year. Love it! Course is always in good shape and I love bent grass. Great views and a great patio to drink your bogeys away after.
Needs work on greens and mowing
Greens had some problem areas, due to frost death, and seems pin positions were still Sunday difficulty. Rough was already long and thick. Need work on the mower skills, lots of poor mowing of the greens. Still patchy in parts of the fairway, and many holes did not allow cart access, and the course is very unfriendly for cart path golf. Only saw drink cart once for round. But cant beat the price, very good value for the money paid.
Great course but don't go early
We had the first tee time of the day at 6:00 am. Obviously this was an early time but the maintenance crew for the course was not finished with their job by the time we teed off. The course should not offer tee times that early if they can't be finished with the prep for the day. We were teeing off on the first 5 holes with mowers blazing and the greens were so shaggy that they made putting very difficult. In addition the GPS did not accurately measure the distance to the pin. Half the time the GPS would say the pin was up front when it was actually in the back. In addition there were flags left out of the hole by the maintenance crew. This obviously makes your approach a complete guess when the GPS is inaccurate. Other than these mishaps the course was generally in great shape. There was one green with some major grass work being done on it but overall the course is a great place to play. I would stay away from early tee times and watch out for the accuracy of the GPS.
like the way its layed out
fun course but greens need work. great views of front range and lots of elevated tee boxes. not a walkers course
Course was in decent condition for the time of year
This course is in ok condition for the time of year. cart paths need some attention. great views of the mountains and a good value for the money when I purchase on Golf Now.
