Four Mile Ranch Golf Club

This was the finishing round for a birthday trip from Florida out to Colorado. From the moment we entered the clubhouse to check-in to the completion of the round this was the perfect cap to a wonderful golf trip. When weather interrupted our round the staff member insisted that we go ahead and get a bite to eat and come on back - he'll send us back out. We did just that. Talk about taking care of customers. This gentleman set the bar by which other courses will be measured.

Pros:

Staff members. All friendly, professional, welcoming, knowledgeable and even funny. They truly enjoy their jobs and don't mind kidding around with customers. Really made us feel completely welcome and appreciated.

Course layout and views. Just amazing.

Course condition - wonderful! Like nearly perfect from tee to green.

Elevations were amazing also. Just a blast to drive the ball with a little wind helping and down into a valley knowing you are going to get a little extra distance. Just pure fun!

Level of fun was off the charts.

Cons:

A couple of areas got a little confusing regarding where to go next.

Not a lot of water jugs on the course. Need to add a couple of more of them.

Summary:

This was the perfect course to finish a wonderful week of golf at. The staff really made my birthday visit a memorable and special one. Clearly they take pride in their course and want visitors to get the most bang for their buck. It is conveniently located near Royal Gorge and is really easy to find.

This course earns my highest marks and rest assured - I WILL DEFINITELY be back!!!

This course is treacherous if you can’t hit straight or have no experience of the greens. Every green has bowls or massive ridges orchestrating the approach shot. Overall great course. Fairways were fair and clearly designated. Rough areas weren’t too punishing. Highly recommend.

Have played this great layout many times. Fairways are as lush right now than anytime I can remember. Only negative would be that the greens, while in excellent condition, need to be cut and rolled more often to ensure a smoother, firmer putting surface. If this course was anywhere near the Denver area or along the I-70 mountain corridor, it would be at least double or triple the green fee.

I took my father-in-law here for the first time. He was blown away by the course layout and the views. I enjoyed trying to tell him where the holes where located and seeing his jaw drop in disbelief.

My only issue was the green speeds. This is my second time playing here and again they were very slow. Needs to be cut and rolled.

The course is rather quirky with some unusual greens and blind shots, but it’s fun to play. The greens and fairways are in fantastic shape and the maintenance staff does an outstanding job. The range and “clubhouse” are rough, but the staff is awesome. The price is reasonable and overall it’s an enjoyable course.

Been going to 4 Mile for many years. As the course has become a little more popular these days. Getting an affordable tee time has become a little more challenging. It’s always worth it no matter what you pay. The layout greens and fairways were definitely on point this day. It’s always beneficial when you are able to hit the fairways and greens. Makes the experience much more enjoyable, otherwise you are playing out of the crud. This day the staff were amazing from checkin to starter to the Marshall. Everyone was upbeat and willing to help out in any way. Overall the experience was great. The way I’ve known 4Mile to always be.

Considering the hot dry climate, I'm amazed at how nice and green they keep this course. Greens run a little slow, but they're soft and hold. There are a hand full of blind shots where the layout of hole is a 90 degree dogleg behind a berm or the green is hiding behind a berm. Overall I would recommend this course. I enjoy it and keep going back.

Had a great time with my oldest son on Fathers's Day at 4-Mile Ranch. Excellent course conditions and very cordial playing partners. A Great Time!

This course will challenge the best golfers. Though, one of the most fun courses I’ve ever played. The architect that built this course is a genius. Great job Jim!

Play to your personal distance into blind greens. Amazingly beautiful and difficult.

I wanted to create a package including this establishment for my wonderful travelers to enjoy. I called and introduced myself to Cindy and asked for a manager or owner to speak to about prices, where the lovely cindy proceeded to tell me there was no owner or manager. I asked, so one does not exist? she stated no and hung up on me. I called back 3 times trying to give them a chance and no one answered. so no folkes I would not recommend this course to you.

Played a really good round(by my standards) with a couple of women who have been traversing the country, and a young guy from the west of Denver who was "pounding" the ball from the tips. Really nice weather, very friendly playing partners and great course conditions that helped excel my game beyond my actual skill level in the Covid Era. Life is Good~

Another course designed by Jim Engh and it has his style written all over it. From 90 degree turns on the fairways, to blind tee shots and big, sloping greens, this course brings all the risk/reward opportunities into play. Course staff was very friendly: Jim in the pro shop gave us an overview of the course as it was our first time there. Mike the starter filled in the details, and off we went. We were playing with others who had played there before, which really helped us plan and navigate the holes. Course was in immaculate condition! We loved it. As mentioned in other reviews, the amenities are a bit spartan, but the course is great. Highly recommend if you like to plan your shots, rather than grip and rip.

Make the drive, this course is well worth it.

tee box , Fairways, and Greens were perfect shape.

Rough is thick, 5 different tee's to choose from

If you can't hit the fairways or rough, just take a drop

Best Day

This is a beautiful and challenging course that is well maintained through the year. However, they offer nothing for amenities, all they can give you is golf. No club house, driving range, or a single bathroom. A course like this deserves something other than a single-wide trailer, dirt parking lot, and port-a-potties.
