Greens were in good condition

Other than the putting surface being in good condition, the next best part was the bunkers. The fairways had lots of dead grass, some not mowed, and much of the fringe and grass around the greens looked dead. Maybe it's just because it's early in the season, but the fairways could use some work.

Pretty Decent Course

This course was pretty decent, when we arrived and went to hit a bucket of balls, there was not a lot of mats available at the driving range, and the ones that were had no tees, so I was was forced to hit warm up balls off the mat, which isn't that terrible, but there could have been more mats in my opinion. The pace of play was a bit slow, we had to wait at nearly every hole for the group in front of us, there were even holes that we arrived at and the group in front of us was waiting to tee off, but I'll chalk that up to it being one of the first beautiful weather days of the spring. The thing I didn't like about the course is that it seemed that on almost every hole, there are houses on both sides of you, some of which were extremely close to the course, so if you tend to hook or slice your tee shots, get ready to start shouting "Sorry about your house". The course is fairly challenging, but I think most of that was in the fact that it was lined with houses. If you can play this course at a discount, then go for it, just make sure you do on a day you know it won't be busy.

Good course, few small issues with fairways

Biggest complaint that I had about the course was they just finished aerating the fairways and left the soil junks all over the fairway, which affected ball rolls and caused trouble hitting in the fairway. Other than that, greens were in good shape.

Fourth time through Golf Now

I've played here four times through golfnow, and all have been very pleasant. This is a very difficult course for a beginner, so bring extra balls if you're still a rookie like me. I really like the 3rd hole with the water that comes right up to the back of the green -- be careful there!

Great course, but wait to play until summer

Coming off a cold and snowy winter had made certain parts of the course very unplayable, though they did not mark the areas (some fairways had dead spots/dirt on certain parts). It was drizzling and cooler that day, but the course was set up fair and was very playable. One thing they need to do is get someone out there to fix divots and ball marks, as there were a substantial amount that I repaired for them. I really liked how they kept the sand traps, as they were raked nicely and the sand was fluffy like it should be. Rough had some dead spots, but was very nice to hit out of. Overall, the course was in great condition for the beginning of spring, but I expect it to get better as it gets into summer as it usually does.
*Note: I played by myself and with no one on the course, and the time played does not reflect how fast it is to usually play here (usually between 4 1/2 hrs. to 5 hrs.)

January Golf in Colorado!

Can I complain? NO! The driving range has the best quality mats you can buy. The course was clear of snow and the greens were not frozen! Pace of play was quick, and the front desk guy was friendly! Very easy and for the price it was by far the best deal north of Denver for this time of year.

Decent course if you can get a good deal.

The course was in fairly good shape. The greens were rolling well at a good pace. The only problems were in the fairways. A couple spots were in need of attention.
