About
Murphy Creek Golf Course is a public, 18-hole course with a links-style layout that was designed by Ken Kavanaugh. The course is prairie-like with a gently rolling terrain. It stretches over 7,548 yards from its longest tees, playing to a par of 72. The layout is quite challenging with several lengthy holes and well-bunkered greens. Due to the openness of the golf course, wind also becomes a difficult factor of the game. The natural landscape includes small lakes and creeks that create water hazards as well as a few trees sprinkled throughout. Murphy Creek Golf Course is also known for being immaculately maintained.

Golfer Reviews
This Course Screams HELP!!
Guess I’ll start from the beginning. Pulled up to the starter at 2:25 for a 2:30 Tee Time, he checked our receipts and said good to go. As we’re walking up to the first tee box, he then begins to start yelling telling us to wait for the 2:20 tee time that was now 7 minutes late because they were having drinks in the club house. Tee Boxes and fairways are in Horrible conditions, most of the time if you put it in the middle of the fairway your hitting from mud or dead grass for your second. Also no water jugs on the front, but at least the cart girl was coming through a bit. Charging $80 for a weekday is absolute robbery for the condition and his course is in. $30 maybe or fix your course if you’re gonna charge that much. Also get a Starter that knows how to do his job or tell the current one to lose the attitude when he makes mistakes.
A crime to charge full price
Course is in awful condition, but they have no problem charging $92. Starter was rude and forced me to switch carts to share with 4th that joined at the last minute. Hole 4 the marshal angrily tells us we need to speed up, even though we had been waiting on the group in front almost every shot. Fairways are entirely mud, no sand in bunkers, and greens aren’t much better. Could have had a better experience anywhere else for the price.
Poor conditions due to drought
I don’t blame the course, but it’s in really rough shape due to drought conditions and water restrictions. Greens are excellent. Would wait to come back and play once the drought is over and the course can be properly watered.
Fairways are mostly dead
This course is in horrible condition. Fairways on back are mostly dead. Greens have some dead spots also. Haven’t been watering due to water restrictions even though they have unlimited supply of non-potable water. For those that don’t know what non-potable water is it toilet water that can’t be used to drink. Evidently the idiot mayor of Aurora mandated to the greens superintendents of Aurora that the golf courses can’t look greener than people’s yards. It’s going to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair. On the bright side lots of tee times available because most everybody has stopped playing this course and Saddle Rock because the courses are mostly dead. I have a feeling they are going to use the excuse of the cost to bring the course back to good conditions is too expensive. So they will just close them. Wouldn’t surprise me at all. Vote the idiot mayor of Aurora out of office.
Drought damage severe
We are in drought conditions, However, this course is in terrible shape. Greens are ok. Fairways are about 50% dead. In the last month, I have played 6 different courses in the Denver area. This coarse is in the worse shape by far.
Great track!
Friendly and accommodating staff, great pace of play and challenging bunkers await your tee shot! Loved the course and will return.
Course is in Terrible Shape - Do not waste your $&
Can’t believe they have completely loat the course and ita only June. Dirt patches and weeds everywhere. Dormant and dead grass all around. Tre boxes and bumkers are shaggy and rock hard. Goose poop everywhere. Love the garbage smell of landfill next door. What a shame fot a course with a solid design and layout. Super should be embarrassed by the course conditions. Nearly unplayable. Add some wind and you are guaranteed a miserable round. 👎👎
Dirt and Weed Track!
Terrible conditions. They have loat the coirse already by June. Dirt patches and weeds everywhere. Course is bone dry and shaggy. Terrible conditions. Inconsistent roll everywhere. Superintendent should be embarrassed! What a shame. Course design and layout has potential. Just needs water and proper maintenance. 👎👎
Golf courses
Everything thing was great. Hot Dog very expensive 8.32 for a hot dog. Give me a break you crooks.
Great Course
Was in town visiting my brother during an unusual warm March week. They are doing a great job at this course especially considering the drought conditions the area is seeing. Got to hit every club in the bag. Fast greens! Bring your putting A game. A true gem of a course. Will play every time I visit CO.
Great course, terrible pace
Because of the dry, warm winter, the course was walking only. I prefer to walk, so I didn’t mind. Clearly, not everyone playing has experience walking while keeping a reasonable pace. It was over 3 hours to play the first nine, although the back did pick up a bit.
The course was great, and was in great shape. I would love to play it again, but waiting up to 20 minutes at each tee box and another 10 to hit many approach shots made the round far less enjoyable than it should have been.
There were staff members out, but they seemed unwilling or unable to get people moving. It’s a shame because other than pace, the round would have been perfect.
