About

Type Public
Par 72
Length 7676 yards
Slope 144
Rating 75.5

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 7,676 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.

A Rocky Mountain High

Beautiful track. Friendly, helpful staff. Great food. I’m looking forward to playing here again. The greens had been punched and sanded recently, and well, that is what it is.

I’m hoping to return in a couple months to play this course when it’s in better shape.

Great day

Great day on the course, two people didn’t show up from the other group so my buddy and I played two balls each. Great conditions, thick rough, bunkers a little worse for wear but that’s cause we got a ton of rain the week before. Greens were very quick, made for a challenging and gorgeous day. Great course.

Treated very well and there was a great pace of play!

Colorado National is the course for the University of Colorado Buffalos golf teams. They have their own complex on the site.

The course was in great shape for early Spring. I was in a 3-some, and we played the course in under 3:30. The pace was terrific.

The staff was very professional and helpful as they got me off earlier than my tee time which was helpful to me. I enjoyed the round and will play there again this year. I would love to see the course in Summer conditions.

early season play

I have played CN several times. Today the greens were below average as many of the greens were recouping from the winter along with several areas in the fairways. A plus was the ruff areas- they have not grown up yet, thereby allowing you to find and hit your ball. pace of play was great.

Great course, poor pace and overbooked

The pace of play was absolutely terrible. It took us a little over 5 hours to complete our round. They were short on carts and our battery was on its last legs at the turn. They were having an event, so limited food options at the turn. Course was in good shape, but the pace ruined it. Constantly waiting at every tee box got old, the Marshal tried picking up the pace, but his cart apparently ran out of battery as well.

Great layout

First time playing here and it was great. The course was still coming out of winter, so conditions weren't tip-top, but overall very good. The layout was fantastic. No crazy holes with dumb features to mention. I play all over the west coast monthly, and this was one of my favorite public courses. Plenty of teeing options to best suit your level.

Early play

For mid April, the course was in good shape. The greens were running true and fast. The fairways still had dormant grass that should be grown in.

Great course

All around a great course. The carts have GPS. Sometimes the pace of play can get slow, but they do have marshalls on weekends. A mix of challenging and can be easy if you play. Multiple tee boxes. Overall a great course.

Great greens.

This is a shot selection course. Not every tee box requires a driver. Course is in great condition.
