Ironbridge Golf Club

Second time I played it. Stunning vistas, extremely challenging greens, lots of elevation changes from tees to greens, excellent practice facilities, super friendly staff. Lots of nice places to stay and eat in town and the course is only 15 mins away. Can’t say enough good things about it, but don’t expect a great score - it’s a very challenging course.

My wife and I had a great time playing this course. Not easy but worth the price. We loved it

I can’t say enough about my round at Ironbridge. The staff greeted me with such warmth and were very helpful at every turn. Course was truly immaculate, and I loved the layout. As others have said, holes 15-18 make this course a true destination. I can’t wait to get back!

Great layout. Greens were a little slow. Play the right tee box for your handicap or you may struggle to carry some of the hazards. Most of the ravines have a drop zone on the other side. Friendly and helpful staff!

Ironbridge is a semi-private course that caters to the surrounding neighborhood. While there are houses along a number of holes, the houses always are at a distance - no crowding. The course allows one to take in many beautiful mountain views (the last 4 holes, in a separate valley, are magnificent!). The pro shop personnel are exceptionally nice and accommodating without fail. The practice range is one the best in the Roaring Fork valley, with balls provided for free.

Colorado golf in Nov. can be dicey; but the weather that day was low 50's and sunny. Pro shop person was warm and welcoming - the best! Course is fun with the back 9 very different from the front. The final 4 holes in a totally separate canyon are an amazing treat for your eyes - a great reward of scenery to take in! Pace was perfect; as no one was behind us and no one in front of us. Only minor issue were the greens; which were fall fuzzy after some below freezing temps the week before.

Started out gentle but quickly demanded all the skills in the bag. The greens rolled nice and were consistent.

I've played Ironbridge many times in the distant past but not since they changed the order of holes on the back 9. The new layout leaves holes 15-18 (previously 10 - 13), those deepest into the canyon and the most dramatic, as the final holes. Its a better layout and continues to offer absolutely stunning beauty and scenery.

Players who have not experienced the course before will find the front nine fairly flat with views of Mt Sopris and the Crystal River. While players may find this course more difficult that many, it does provide five different tee positions which allows players to select a length to their comfort level.

Course conditions were excellent as they have been every time I've played it and they offer a full compliment of practice facilities. The greens are fast but true and most have a lot of contour. I found them to also be quite firm making it difficult to hold approach shots at times and local knowledge of the slopes & shapes would certainly help as would having position indicators for the pins which, on the day that I played, were not in any consistent sequence nor did the flags have traditional position colors making it difficult to know their position relative to the green as a whole.

All in all, this course is one of the finest in the area. Any golfer who appreciates the challenge and the beauty of a golf course would do well to experience Ironbridge.
