About

Holes 9
Type Public
Par 36
Length 3564 yards
Slope 131
Rating 35.7

Pole Creek Golf Club is a public 27-hole golf facility in Tabernash, the only one of its kind in Grand County. The holes are divided into three par-36, nine-hole courses, which can be played in different 18-hole combinations. You'll get a different set of challenges on each course but they each provide a classic round of Colorado mountain golf. On no other nine is this more apparent than the dramatic Ridge Course. As its name would imply, the layout features several dramatic ups and downs. Accuracy is key and having a good strategy is equally important. Golfers will also have to contend with tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers along the greens, not to mention the occasional water hazard. The other two nines, the Meadow and the Ranch, are more mellow and approachable.

Pretty good for the price/May be slow depending on the courses

I was scheduled to play the Ranch and Ridge however when we got to the Ridge side there were two groups waiting on the tee box and our round would have exceeded 5 hours putting us into darkness. My partner and I elected to play the Meadows 9 and we were able to finish the round in just over four hours. Overall the courses were in great condition. For a long ball hitter you really have to plan out your shots and spending the money on a course guide would probably be helpful unless you are playing with a local player. There are a lot of doglegs and various carries to navigate around as well as some holes that are fairly narrow if you spray the ball off the tee . You do hit the ball slightly longer up there so take that into consideration if you hit the ball a long ways. My experience was fun and I would play the courses again on a good deal.

Great Course - Prepare for a long round

Just a beautiful course with spectacular views! Conditions were great!
Downside - expect a long round when you go; It's just a lot of golf course for some, and that slows the pace. They do a great job of trying to keep the pace, so no problems there.

Even after extensive rain added to seasonal snowmelt, the greenskeeper provided a great mountain golf experience. We had a wonderful time playing the Ranch Meadow loop.

This is a typical beautiful mountain course. Somewhat long and narrow, It's difficult to have a flat lie.

Bad rain, great course

Springtime in the mountains is rainy, so the only course open was The Ridge. Even though most of the lower courses were flooded, the ridge wasn't too bad. I have to give Pole Creek a pass because the rain was unrelenting prior to booking my round, so I was lucky they were even open. The course is in great shape and the views on the ridge are stunning. Great food and beverages, excellent staff- I will be back when it's a little dryer... But had a great 9 on the ridge.

Champioinship Mountain Golf

It would be fun to see this course host a PGA event -- though handling crowds in the mountains would provide a unique challenge. The fairways and greens are immaculate, the staff expert and friendly. Nice clubhouse, bar & restaurant. Three nines, each with its own challenges, and absolutely spectacular mountain views. Recommended for intermediate to advanced golfers.

Fantastic deal on a Fantastic course.

This course was not the toughest I have ever played, but the condition of it, particularly the greens was very impressive, I could putt on them all day !.

The views are quite spectacular, even the splash of rain I had in my round did not dampen my spirits.

If I am fortunate enough to return to Colorado I will indefinitely go back to Pole Creek

One of my favorites

I felt like I was stealing to play this course for $48/ride on a hot deal. This course is so under-rated. I live in NJ and have traveled to Denver area a few times, and I continue to be astounded that this is not ever listed in the top courses in the state. Views, restaurant, staff are all 10's. Greens, layout, conditions are about 9.9. If you're in the mountains and don't play here, big mistake! :)

One of the best values in Colorado

A great mountain golf course that is challenging without being too severe like many others in the high country. Great greens, great turf right round the greens, a little sparse in some other areas but totally acceptable given the location --- the course does a wonderful job of keeping the most important areas in playable condition. We got a great rate on golf now and the overall value was one of the best I have ever experienced.

Beautiful course with beautiful views of the mountains.

I played this course at the very end of the season. The greens had just been airated making putting more of a challenge. But overall the course was in great shape. The help was very friendly. Beautiful clubhouse. Great views of the mountain.

Best Grand County golf course

We played the course on October 15th which is a miracle in itslef. The course is well maintained, challenging , fun and wonderfully scenic. It has 27 holes and we played all 27 in 4.5 hours. Not many people on the course. We had white capped mountains in the background and holes that were unique and memorable.
