Meadow Golf Course at Pole Creek Golf Club

Pole Creek Golf Course is a must if you find yourself in the area. The greens are perfection and all 27 holes include some incredible views of snow covered peaks. Very helpful staff and the food from the Bistro is affordable and delicious. This course is worth every penny and shines in an area full of great mountain courses.

The course was in phenomenal condition (especially the greens) and the scenery is beautiful. A good mix of easy to moderately challenging holes. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

We played the Meadows and Ridge nines, and cannot wait to return to check the Ranch nine holes. The course was in great shape and well manicured for springtime.

The entire staff was super friendly and hospitable, and the meal afterward in Bistro 28 was fabulous!

We will be back!

2:45, using a cart, was truly nice. Intermittent rain did not inhibit play at all. It can be brutal to play from the woods, requiring concentration to stay in play. Greens were slow, but consistent and birdieable. Meadow hole 7 continues to beat up me; I’ll be back often to try again.

We were pleasantly surprised to see Pole Creek offered as a hot deal, it was too hard to pass up. We found out that the course had just opened ~a week ago. The folks were super friendly. They did tell us that given the rate, the 9s were set - Meadows & Ranch. Still, all 3 are good. The fairways were in excellent condition. The greens didn't suffer from the winter ice. Nice! They were still healing a bit from aeration. There is one hole - #6 on Ranch where Garmin GPS indicates there is more room before the water...check it carefully before teeing off. The day turned out to be stellar. We enjoyed ourselves. We enjoyed a dinner at the restaurant afterwards. Thanks!

We stumbled upon this Golfnow offering. It was their first week since opening. The fairways were in great condition. The rough wasn't penal. The scenery was not obviously affected by the fire. The greens escaped winter kill nicely, though the aeration effect was still evident, and the green speed was on the slower side. It was a fine day out. Thanks! The season looks to be a great one.

A couple notes: the hot deal time apparently locks you into whatever 9s they assign you, in our case the original 9s. Looking at the course tee sheet could tell you which to expect.

There were no cart path restrictions.

Hole #6 tee shot on Ranch plays 10-15y shorter than Garmin GPS indicates.

The restaurant is open with no mask requirements.

We arrived early and warmed up. No one told us that the greens were freshly aerated. The greens were horrible, but the course was in decent shape. We got to the first tee and the group ahead of us had 4 carts. The starter told us that only 3 were playing, but there ended up being 5 with 2 young children. They moved fairly well for how many were in the group. We got to the 4th hole and things got slow and stayed that way. We waited several minutes on the 9th tee talking to the group behind us. Once we were able to tee off we hit some errand drives, but played the hole fairly quickly. The ranger showed up and told my wife that we were holding up 4 groups. If he had been doing his job we would not have tightened up waited so long on the previous 4 holes. The pro shop staff was not very friendly, but the cart person and pro were pleasant. I really like this course, so was disappointed that my kids were introduced to it in this way.

It's almost two hours EACH WAY for me but it's a very interesting drive - up into the Rockies.

The greens remind me of Poppy Hills in Monterey. If you can see the line and hit it, your putt has a good chance of falling. No gimmicks or tricky breaks.

Fairways are nice and wide. Rough is not punitive but narrow - after that yer in the woods. It's not that tough but a couple of holes on each side can get you if you are not careful.

All the employees are always helpful and friendly. I have played over 200 different courses (I keep a running list) and I would recommend this course to anyone.

Great course, great staff, just great! We’ll be back!

What a treat for golfers. 3 different 9-hole courses: Meadow, Ridge,and Ranch.
We played Ridge and Ranch. The Ridge course offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, lots of elevation changes across the holes. Ranch was more open with equally spectacular views. At one point on the Ranch course, we were treated to the sound of nearby coyotes calling to each other across the valley. Very cool.

We hit the right time for fall colors as well.

The course was in great shape (Sept, 2020). Greens were beautiful, but fast. Lots of contour to play with.

Very accessible to visitors - not too expensive. Free range balls with green fees. Very friendly staff.

The restaurant itself offers beautiful views. Food, I would say, is average, maybe even less so for dinner. Staff is very friendly.

If you are a golfer, do yourself a favor and play Pole Creek.

Love Pole Creek and it is a fun course with a ton of variety to it. It was a nice day and even with the fires nearby, we could not sense the smoke but, there was a bit of a haze to things. We got a great deal on Labor Day so, even better but I would cap out the value for 18 here at about 60-70 max and after that, it becomes too much, even for a good Mt course.

I had high hopes for Pole Creek and it didn’t meet them. The course has amazing views and some interesting holes, but it was not a good value. I understand you pay more in the mountains, but for $109 (Saturday morning) the course should’ve been in better shape. The greens, in particular, were shaggy and slow. There was no water on the course or pencils in the cart (maybe COVID-related).

Overall, I felt it should’ve been nicer and more intriguing for the price. Keystone Ranch is a similar price and offers a much better experience in my opinion.

We always enjoy playing here. The greens are slow and a bit spongy, but there is grass and they are fine. Other courses in Grand county have much worse greens.....except for Grand lake and that course has best greens. Pole Creek is a great experience. Go for it.
