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.

Lakota for the Dub
What a course!! I have wanted to play this course for a long time and finally did. This place was worth the wait!! It was the funnest course I’ve played in Colorado, and I’ve played some good ones. I love courses where you can’t play driver off of every tee box and have to play the course. The layout was amazing!
The views were spectacular! The staff was awesome! The GPS on the carts was very accurate and it even flagged you at the 8th hole if you wanted to order food for the turn.
Bring cash with you to tip the guys at the front. They load your bag and clean your clubs after the round. I rarely carry cash and wish I would have known this. There’s no ATM at the course.
If I had to list a negative, it would be the bunkers. Try to avoid them at all costs. They are hard and they seemed to be more dirt than sand thankfully I was only in 1 but they are noticeable.
Other than that, it is a fantastic course and one everyone in Colorado should play. It is worth the drive and you will no be disappointed.
Very slow at this time of the year
I had to leave after 9 holes-way too slow. It was 4 groups at #7and #8 at one time. Then 2 groups ( besides me) on #10
Greens are too dry and on slower side. Bunkers has no sand but a lots of dirt. I was a big fan of the course but done coming for now.
Great Layout
Really dramatic holes and layout. Definitely a course to play. Beautiful layout - virtually every hole is interesting and challenging. Would be 5 star rating for sure if the service at popshop would have been a little better and the course a little greener.
Tough Test of Skills
Lakota Links is a golf course designed by Jim Engh. If you know his courses, he brings a lot of challenges to golfers. Lakota is in great shape from tee to greens, with lush grass everywhere. The greens are moderately fast with lots of undulations to test green reading skills. This adds to the importance of approach shots for proper positioning. Lots of elevated tee boxes to watch your drives soar to the fairways. Staff is always friendly and pricing is fair.
Always a treat
Always fun to play there. Pace of play for a single player is great- others always considered to let you play ahead. Go play!
We’re rushed off the course by an angry men's league
The course allowed us to book an 18 hole tee time during men’s league when only the front 9 were open. We were aggressively passed and had our balls tossed off course and then were not compensated appropriately for the mistake of management. We only played 6/18 holes and were given a rain check for only 9 holes instead of being invited back to play to play a proper 18.
Overall bad experience for a first time at the course.
This course is a must play
This course is amazing, if you ever have the chance to play it, Do It.. you will not regret it.
Spectacular course design and views
Classic Jim Engh course. Signature funneling fairways and greens
Great course! Beautiful
Challenging course with lots of topography and perfect greens and fairways
Must do - so much fun
One of our favorites, play it every time we head up to Glenwood. Not a better bang for your buck out there. A championship course? One that you’ll be talking about for days, weeks, months in the future? Definitely
