Omni Interlocken Resort Golf Club - Eldorado/Sunshine
About
The Interlocken Golf Club offers three nine-hole courses that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The Eldorado/Sunshine Course at the facility differs from the other two with its rolling terrain and fairways. The course is challenging with rough, deep ravines, and water hazards coming into play. The greens are also undulating and very difficult to read. Besides the formidable game the course offers, there is also an abundance of wildlife and beautiful scenery. Foxes, coyotes, and deer are often spotted on the course. The courses at the Interlocken Golf Club have received local acclaim as well as praise from national golf publications including TravelGolf.com and Golf Magazine.

Great green quality
This course is challenging but fair. It's what you want as a low handicap golfer.
Bad start just got worse..,
I arrived at the starter's podium to find my playing partner. He'd been waiting 15 mins for a cart. I asked the starter to please hold a cart so we could warm up at the range.
After 20 mins on the range...still no cart. I walked down to the cart return area to fetch one as we were teeing off in about 3 mins.
We then had to return to the starter, who had all the charisma of a 3-iron, to find out which of the three, 9-hole courses we'd be starting from. Info you'd think would be important enough to share at check-in.
As we teed off and made our way up the first hill, it was clear there was an issue with the cart. We asked the beverage girl if she knew any tricks and she said she'd call it in for us. After #2 I called to request it. After #3 it was totally dead and we were holding up play. Finally they arrived with another cart.
The course itself was irritating as well. The conditions are more conducive to target-golf style of play. Several decent shots resulted in lost balls due to rediculously long rough. Even the markers were annoying not mentioning the yardage or layout of the hole.
For $100 I think I can find a course more deserving than this for my time and money.
Good second 9
The course has three separate 9 hole courses. We played Eldorado and vista. Vista is definitely the better nine of the two. Eldorado looks like it gets the most play and is pretty beat in spots. Saw some parts of sunshine and it appeared to be nicer as well. Got a good deal on golfnow so it was worth the money, not sure If I would play if had to pay the full greens and cart fees. Course would also be very difficult to walk.
Great course, great staff
Played eldorado and vista. Had the entire back 9 to ourselves. The three 9 hole course is great. Solid fairway grass and some deep rough. Greens are kept well but very tough at times.
Would you like to be wowed!
Great golf course. Fairways and greens are in excellent condition. Service is second to none for a public course. Even on a Saturday, there were folks everywhere wanting to assist you. Yes, really, they actually want to help! In the days of, most courses barely have a drink cart service, Omni Interlocken is a breath of fresh air. I can't wait to take my wife to this one!
Surprisingly interesting course!
We were visiting from Minnesota and really wanted to get a round in. We thoroughly enjoyed the day. For a Sunday afternoon, the pace of play was excellent. We enjoyed the course layout and we will be back.
Great way to spend an afternoon.
The staff is top notch as are the facilities. Not cheap but everything is included. Cart, range balls, chub pickup at your car. Found the course challenging yet still fun for an average golfer. Looking forward to my next visit.
overpriced and overrated
I am using golfnow when its possible. At this time we had "Green saving book" and deal was that get one -one free. They are using completely different math then us: one player is $85 on weekend but they has special for "Green Saver" for a $120 for me and my son- go figure...(should be still $85 in my book)
Besides that, weeds all around the greens, and greens are SOOO SLOW!! Sorry, I am usually not a complainer.
Long Course
The course was challenging. There are many uphill holes which makes the course play longer than the score card. Played all 27 holes. Eldorado was in the best condition. The fairways had way too un-repaired divots and bald spots. The sand bottles on the cart were empty and there no re-fill boxes on the course. The rough is extremely difficult and thick. Playing as a single, I had sometime to look for others lost balls. I found an average of 2/hole in both the rough and native grasses.
Challenging but fun!
Lots of opportunities to get into trouble if you get off the fairway or overshoot the greens. Beautiful views and interesting terrain make for a nice change of pace from the flatter courses in town.
Spring time golf
The course was late on doing its aeration and the greens where really slow and the fairways weren't the best either. It will be in great shape I think once all the conditioning is done.
Fast
We played our round in under 4 hours. The course was in great shape for time of year.
Nice features
The three courses are very well maintained. Resort had some nice features. They have friendly valet to help with bags. Carts have GPS and come with towel for both riders and are stocked with tee's. Driving, putting, chipping ranges are all very nice and located close to one another. The views are also amazing. Played this course three times in a week and enjoyed each round. Looking forward to playing it more next spring.
Not my best day
Hard to write a review when I played so horribly I couldn't concentrate on much else. If I were paying attention, I would say this course is definitely worth checking out.
Very well ran course staff was very friendly .
Course was very challenging fun and in great shape for fall conditions.
Beautiful course!
Course was very nice-challenging enough but not too hard. With the discounted rate we received, we were able to try this course where at normal prices we would not have had the opportunity. Gal came out with a cart to greet us and was very friendly, courteous and helpful. Great experience!
Very interesting course, but they need some work
We were delayed 10 minutes on our tee off time. When we arrived at the first tee, they were two other foursomes on the tee. We opted to play a different 9, since they have 3 9-hole courses, just so we could tee off without waiting a half hour. The turf was excellent due to a lot of rain recently in Colorado. However, there were grass clippings everywhere, except on the greens. I love the course layout, but was a little disappointed in the way the course was managed this time around.
Great Value and a great course in Denver!
Everything from the tee boxes to the greens were very nice. The value of the course was very good. My only complaint is that the maintenance staff could work on their "golf etiquette" since they would be talking while we were playing our shots.
