Colorado National Golf Club

Honestly, I love the layout of Colorado National. Great track lots of different tees usually in very good condition. Pro shop staff was friendly.

However, I went a couple of years not playing here because of pace of play issues.

We waited all day on the front nine yesterday to the point where we even called the pro shop when we had three groups on the first par 3. We were told that they knew what the problem was and that they would fix it by moving the slow group up as needed.

We turned in two hours and 20 minutes. Went to the tenth which was actually the first tee because of reverse order and there were three groups on it. One had just teed off and two of us were there waiting on the tee. If we had waited to tee off instead of leaving it would have been 2:40 easy.

The starter told us there was nothing he could do as the group in the fairway actually included one of the marshals from the club. One of the dumbest answers I’ve ever heard in my life frankly. We don’t care who’s in the group just do the job.

Five 1/2 hour rounds on Thursday afternoon are unacceptable and if we had stayed, it would’ve been at least that. Might not be going back here for while this is how it’s going to be again.

On a difficult golf course like this, there should be a Marshall every day making sure pace keeps moving. Flatly unacceptable.

This stuff drives good players away, maybe that’s the goal.

The course was in pretty good shape. A few areas were under repair, but overall the course was looking good. The greens were fast and true and there were some great risk reward holes. The drink cart only made one appearance though. We were all wanting some drinks, but it only came around at the very beginning.

Course is always fun to play. Bathrooms are in poor shape and the code readers are not functioning. The range ball machine was not working properly as well.

Still a good course, just needs a little TLC

Terrific day. Course was in good shape. Bunkers were well maintained. Putting surfaces a little slow, but fair.

Course was in great shape, greens fairways and overall championship conditions. Cart paths were recently replaced and high end condition. This is a really nice course with multiple tees for all levels. Plenty of sand traps that were great conditions that one would expect at a luxury golf club. Highly recommended and looking forward to playing again. Nice pro shop with friendly staff and a full restaurant with quality finishes.

Colorado National is the home to the Colorado Buffaloes. Nice course. Nice homes surrounding the course. Could play VERY long if stretched out to full length. Pace is every 9 minute tee time slots. Told exactly 4.5 to get around. Not blistering, but expected for a busy Sunday evening. Course was in fantastic shape. Bunkers, greens, fairways, rough all good. Could tell tees get a lot of play, but that’s expected. Average width off the tee. Odd par 5s all have split fairways with difficult to reach 2nd fairway unless 285+ carry. Didn’t like the 600yd par 5s with that feature. Ran through 1st fairway a few times. So should I lay up on a 600+ par 5 off the tee? Odd. Par 3s were all good with some length. Variety of holes was very varied. Views were excellent. Amenities, club house, all top notch. GPS carts. All good. Catch a deal and go play. One of the nicer ones around Denver!

Great course, great conditions for April! They’re doing work all over the course but it doesn’t affect play in any way. I’m very excited to see the end results of all the construction and grounds work.

Course was great, for being a week before Christmas in Colorado.

Course was great. We played on Tuesday and had the place practically to ourselves. Challenging holes; if you can’t keep it in the fairway, you are in for a long day!

It is a pretty good course, but not for the cost.

Staff was a bit standoffish, also the bar staff was a bit ho-hum about service. just an overall disappointing experience for the cost.

Tried talking and even joking with the clubhouse guys but they seemed to not want to give me the time of day, they seemed VERY stuck up. I’ve been playing golf for 25 years (90% of my life) and know what I’m doing. The rangers and cart girl were really nice and very respectful.

The second group in front of us hit at least 3 tee shots on the first tee and the starter said nothing to them. It only got slower from that point on. The marshal said he talked to the group but the pace didn’t pick up. Ended up quitting on the 15th.

Great course in good condition. Range and facilities are very nice. Stay is friendly. Must play
