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.

Demands accuracy and exceptional putting skills

Course has a lot of up and down play. Several greens have "BLIND" approaches. You literally can not see them until you walk up/down to them. It is almost impossible to find your balls if they leave course of play. The course demands accuracy from t-box to green. Greens have LOTS of undulations creating plateau/valley effects. The course is in great shape! Just stay on the course! A fun time to be had by all that play it!

Very challenging

Course fairways,tee boxes, greens in great shape! Very rolling terrain, unforgiving off fairways, greens very rolling and difficult. Some holes have greens you can not even see as they are hidden behind small rolling hills covered in rock and juniper trees! A very fun course that absolutely requires accuracy from the tee box to the green!

A head scratcher…

I appreciate Jim Engh’s golf course design style, but I think he went a little off the rails with some of the holes on this course. You ever played a par 3 where you can’t see any part of the green or the flag stick? You just hit it and hope you’re close? You will here. Some of the greens are huge with massive slopes and you’re praying to make 8 footers for your two putts. The design is very unique and on a lot of holes very fun and imaginative, but it’s get unfair and silly at times. It’s not fun to hit good golf shots into greens and have mini golfing greens determining your scoring. We were surprised to find that on a holiday weekend the driving range was closed, there were no food options, and no clubhouse. I wouldn’t come back.

Hidden Gem

This was an awesome course. Views were great, staff were friendly, and course was nice and very challenging, which is hard to find sometimes on the front range with blind holes. Downside was no driving range, but sounds like they are trying to get that part sorted!

A diamond in the rough

Was in town from the KC area and was staying in Colorado Springs. Love playing golf courses that are near to where I’m staying. Folks you have to play this course. The course is unique and depending on which tee box your playing from can become difficult really quickly. The greens are large but the undulations is extreme. You better know how to read greens and better have good knowledge of your ball speed.Course is very scenic, valued wonderful, excellent condition, and staff was excellent. The only downside to this course was the size of the clubhouse and no water stations on the course.

In closing I would have to say this course was a 10/10 and I would play it again in a heartbeat.

Challenging greens

Course is in good shape, very well maintained. Poor weather on this outing but was able to stay dryish.

Can't wait to see the improvements over the next 5 years.

Beautiful and well kept course. It has beautiful views all around the course of the mountain range. It seems some tee boxes are new and were not properly leveled before grass was planted. Club house is small and has essentials, golf balls, tees, water, and some snacks. Fantastic experience.

Fun place to play

The views were amazing and greens were fast enough and very true. Lots of unique and scenic holes and some very tricky ones. You need to play this place more than once to know what you’re supposed to do. We really enjoyed this course and would definitely play here again. Staff was really nice. No services really to speak of. You’re definitely there for the golf. And that’s fine with me.

Getting better

In general, the entire course is growing up nicely. There has been some substantial winter kill to a number of the tea boxes a few spots in the fairway and three or four of the greens. It appears that the course is attempting to revive a number of the tee boxes. In the meantime, they have some of the boxes either moved up or moved back. Be aware of that as it might change your distances on your holes. The tee boxes that were open needed mowing. Some of them had grass that was 3 to 4 inches long on them. Also, there were a number of areas of the rough that look like they haven’t been mowed all this entire year. In general, it seems that they’re not getting the mowers out very often. As the greens are fuzzy as they have been for the past four or five years. I’m hoping that this year they get back to mowing the greens a little tighter so that the course plays the way it did when it first opened. It’s far more fun to play when the greens are mowed tightly and the balls come off the contours of the greens. That being said, the course appears to be moving in the right direction. Hoping this is the year that they get it in great shape.
