Dry and fast

Hit this course in early April when the course was dry and the greens were slippery fast. I couldn't keep the ball on the greens. Love the course though. Highly recommend the challenge.

Winter Rust

Course is not in the best shape right now but we are coking off a hard winter. Came out to play Easter Sunday on a 70 degree day so you know it’s busy. No water for patrons on the course. At least have your marshals have jugs on there cart if your not putting water out yet. Overall very displeased with the conditions of the greens. Looked like they had some winter kill on them. Very bumpy and almost unplayable. Hope they can bring the course back to life this spring.

Staff was absolutely horrible!!!!!

I book Saturday's so my wife or one of the kids can get on the course and we can bond over the experience and for them to possibly get the golf bug and want to play themselves! After booking the round and driving 45 minutes to the course I was condescendingly told no riders!!! I even offered to pay for an extra round and again was rudely informed that it wasn't an option. So, no golf, no refund, no apology!! I will not be booking here anytime soon.

Great Course, Unfriendly Staff

I'd like to start off by saying the staff as a whole was very nice with the exception of one older guy in the clubhouse.

I brought my girlfriend with me to ride along as we were on vacation in the area. When we arrived, there was a sign on the clubhouse door saying only 2 carts would be given out per group with no exceptions. This information was not given anywhere on the website or on the phone when I booked. When I asked if she would be able to ride along with me, this guy immediately said no, directing me to the sign as if I didn't know how to read. Fortunately, there was another guy in the clubhouse who said there would be a couple of extra carts that day so she would be able to ride along for a fee which is what I expected.

Aside from the unpleasant first impression, the course itself was amazing, especially for a muni. The fairways and rough were green and lush, the greens were lightning quick and rolled true. There were some really fun and interesting holes and I would love to come back here, but am wary of having to deal with the mess in the clubhouse.

Fast Greens

Our first time playing here. John the starter was very friendly and set us off in great spirits. The course was in good condition, with the greens being very fast with lots of slopes. These greens were as difficult as we have ever played - not complaining, as the warmup putting green was a perfect reflection of the course greens. I can see why the Colorado Open was played here in the past, as it would challenge even the best player. Nice layout.

Great greens

Turn off the fan!

Just kidding, the course was in great shape. The wind blew us all over which made the course play longer than normal but still a lot of fun. Greens and fairways were in great shape.

Nice driving range and practice putting green. 3rd time playing here, I’ve never met an unfriendly employee or customer.

Thanks again we’ll be back. Keep up the great work.

Saddle Rock on 5/28/22

My first time playing Saddle Rock and enjoyed it very much. Course was in excellent condition all around but for some lingering thinSpits in the fairways probably due to normal winter weather damage. This was a minor issue, however. Greens were excellent.—neither too fast nor too slow and very consistent.
