Lakota Links Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Situated just below the Flat Tops Wilderness Area in the lower foothills of the Rockies, Lakota Links Golf Club has a scenic, secluded location that is surprisingly accessible to and from all of the ski areas of Copper Mountain, Keystone, Breckenridge, Vail, and Aspen. The location is also equipped with spectacular views from all around the course. Jim Engh designed the golf course, incorporating all of his trademarks including bowled fairways, cavernous bunkers, and receptive but tricky greens. Water hazards also come into play on a few holes. Lakota Links Golf Club's final hole is one of the most demanding. This par-5 has a seemingly split fairway, a ravine, and a large area of rough.

Fantastic And very Fun Course
The staff was fantastic All around.
The course was challenging and tricky at times.
Maintenance was superb, especially with the current watering restrictions in Colorado.
Thank You everyone for making a fantastic golf day possible!
An absolute Favorite
I had buddies visiting and I was nervous to drive an hour for this course, especially during drought...we were so glad we did. Awesome track, and incredible conditions (the best on the western slope perhaps). I will be returning that's for sure.
What a day to shoot par
What an amazing GC! Super fun! I love taking the back of the green yardage and ripping it back to the pin. The scenery is majestic and the staff are super friendly. I want to play it again tomorrow but alas… farm chores. Cheers to the local brewery on tap (Down Valley Brewing). The IPA was outstanding and the lager was so smooth. Only thing to complain about was the ball dispenser was confusing because I paid at the pro shop and the machine wants a CC. Directions were confusing and difficult to read in the bright sun. Just be a big course and include the range balls. Otherwise, five stars across the board and a shout out to the Swedish lady behind the par.
Temp was 99, but a fun day!
Lakota had never crossed my radar, but glad we found it...an ok price for a very nice course
Always Challenging
If you like elevated tee boxes, this is your course. Fun to watch the ball soar down the fairway. Was a 98 degree day, so climbing down to the recessed greens and back up was tough. Cart lady came by frequently so hydration was available. Fairways had some dry spots but overall good in the face of the drought the area is in. Greens were great. One of my favorite courses, even if it beats me up.
Stunning course!
Great layout, especially the front nine and closing couple of holes. Tricky greens. Great condition. Lots of fun to play.
Awesome Experience
Had a great round. This track is gorgeous, challenging and very entertaining. Highly recommend!
Lakota Links
Great course and views. Coming out of winter and was in good shape for the time of year. I will be back.
Beautiful Course - Pace of Play Problem
Pace of Play was a problem as pro shop allowed a six-some on a Saturday, which included two children aged 6 and 12. Delayed 45 minutes on back 9. Twosome in front of our foursome quit playing around #11.
Great Course, But Kind of Hard
The course is very nice, but there are a fair number of brown spots. The greens have a lot of undulations. May be too hard for high handicappers.
Not Fun At All
The course is situated in several canyons on the front nine, and steep hills on the back. Every tee shot has carry and most have big elevation changes. It is very difficult to play both mentally and physically. Its in very good shape. Tons of blind shots, greens that make a potato chip look flat, and severe slopes on the cart paths. The carts says to be careful as Lakota is a dangerous course. I would agree. Don't bother with this one.
