Four Mile Ranch Golf Club sprawls across a stunning landscape of gently rolling hills. The layout closely follows the natural contours of the terrain and doesn't use any formal bunkers, in their place are white shale ridges called hogbacks. They can range anywhere in height from 3 to 30 feet and they're not even the golf course's only distinctive feature. The layout winds through natural rock outcropping and a number of mini canyons. It's as challenging as it is scenic, though, with several blind shots and intimidating greens, none of which are more daunting than that on the memorable par-5 sixth. This tough green is obscured by huge rocks, testing not only your skills but also your ability to strategize. Four Mile Ranch G.C. offers a golf experience like none other in the area.

Fun course anytime.

It was my birthday treat. 4 Mile Ranch is my favorite course in southern Colorado. It is typical Jim Engh design, so it is beautiful and unique. I like that it forces you to plan your shots and rewards good shots. The course was in good shape for February but the howling wind made some holes brutal (even on the green). But we had fun and can't wait to play it again.

Fun Course - great for winter golf in Colorado!

I play this course a few times a year, usually in the winter. The temps are generally in 45+ degrees during the winter months and with the low humidity - it's very playable. No sand bunkers on the course, they have hogbacks which add a level of interest to it. The greens...well, they're something to behold. Many of the greens are bowled, all of them are slanted or mounded, which makes for a great challenge. I think if you played this course every week, it'd drive you crazy due to the quirky greens, but it's a definite MUST PLAY course. Come out and try it, you'll be glad. Only dig on the course is there is no clubhouse, only a trailer and there's never been a cart person while I've been on the course. Not sure they even have one. So, bring your own food - they are good enough to give you a bottle of water to begin your round. Good thing, there's no water jugs on the course. Despite this - you really need to play this course, it's challenging and a lot of fun!!

This course is different.

This is a great course in many respects. It is really different from most in that there are no sand traps on the entire course. All the greens are very large and some have some real elevation difference from one end to the other. It's like playing a video game course. I like it but some purists may not.

I have played here twice before and just love this course. I am from the north Denver area and it is worth the drive down I've never been disappointed. every time I come the course is always in great shape. I played saturday nov 2 and decided it was worth staying over night in the area to play again on sunday.

Great course In Excellant condition

Course is a good challange. Difficult greens and narrow fairways. Great views from back nine. Played slow the last time played but usually played in under 3 hours. Course has been in great shape since late spring. Play this course if you can. It's one of the best in the area.

A Zen Experience

I have been driving from north of Colo Spgs to play 4 Mile Ranch for the past 4 years as often as possible. It is my FAVORITE course of any that I play in CO, MD, VA or AZ. 4 Mile Ranch is almost always beautifully maintained. It is a FUN course with challenging hole designs and many elevation changes. I love that it requires accuracy and thinking rather than just big hitting to play this course well. One of the other features of 4 Mile Ranch that I cherish is how PEACEFUL it is to play - no traffic noise, no exhaust fumes, no streets running through it. Just the sounds of the birds and the bugs and the beautiful wildflowers in season. This course is a MUST PLAY for anyone who appreciates beauty in the golfing experience.

Gorgeous desert course with great views

Nice course with great layout and contrasts between rough (scrub and local native bush) and green fairways and greens. Challenging tiered greens, a good challenge for all players

Typical Jim Engh design - love it AND hate it!

I always expect a challenge in a Jim Engh design (Fossile Trace, Red Hawk Ridge, etc) but this was almost too much. The "hidden" greens on several holes, including a couple of par 3's, are not for the nervous knocker. My personal GPS plus the course book they provided (no charge) helped a lot but I still lost two balls on shots I thought were about perfect. Then the dinosaur carcasses he put under most greens made for a thrill ride putting. But the course condition, layout and views plus a great GolfNow rate made for one of my most memorable outings of the year. I'll go again; with plenty of ammunition!

best course in the valley

the greens are always in good shape. sometimes they are inconsistent from hole to hole. fairways are in great shape, minus some dry spots where the water runs off. tee boxes are in fair condition, but par 3 boxes are pristine. love the layout. it is a risk/reward course all the way through. bring a club you can beat up, cause if you get out of the grass you could be hitting out of some rough stuff.

Very challenging greens, but lots of fun.

Great and challenging. Only complaint would be the carts. Check them out before you start. We had to change 3 time because of various problems. Even then the cart we chose had no water in the ball washer. When we put water in it we discovered there was no plug so it wouldn't hold any water. Still a great value.

Fun course to play but don't expect any extras

Heard the course was fun and challenging with a lot of blind shots and interesting dog legs. Definitely true! Made the round fun and left me with the desire to come back since I now have an idea of how the course plays.
Now the no frills part... Two bottles of water came with the cart - thank goodness for that! It was 96 degrees and we drank what was provided in addition to the water we brought. There was no water on the course for us to refill and there wasn't a beverage cart making rounds. In my opinion, there should have been someone offering water as the temperature approached 100 degrees.
As mentioned by other reviews, there's no clubhouse and the operation seems to be run on a shoestring budget - which is fine if they're trying to get established and grow (just know that going into it). We were told to check in with the starter, but there wasn't one to be found. He finally caught up w/ us on the 5th hole, I believe.
While there's room for improvement from an operations standpoint (which I'd like to believe they're working on), the course is fun to play and was worth the drive from Colorado Springs. Bring plenty of water!!

Hidden gem

Four Mile Ranch was a very fun and challenging course. We had the second tee time and played in about 3 hours. The course was in great shape and the green were awesome. It is a very fun course that requires you to hit a variety of different shots. The staff was friendly they just don't have a big clubhouse. They did have a cooler to buy drinks at good rates. I definitely recommend this course for anybody that wants a fun round on a very nice course.
