About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 7044 yards
Slope 147
Rating 73.7

Legendary golf architects Pete Dye and Perry Dye designed the 18-hole, private course at Plum Creek Golf and Country Club, located in Castle Rock. Opened in 1984, the golf course features 7,044 yards of golf from its championship tees, playing to a par of 72. Dye included various different challenges in this golf course, causing some locals to say that it possesses some of the most difficult holes in the state. The hilly terrain of the well-bunkered course causes many uneven lies. Water hazards also come into play on some holes. Plum Creek Golf and Country Club boasts beautiful views of Castle Rock and the Rockies.

Our round took 5 hours and 20 minutes to play. We had dinner plans and fortunately we finished just in time. The twosome we played with had to leave early because of a time conflict. Part of the problem was that several holes were cart path only due to all the recent rain. I played last year on Father's Day and enjoyed the round. I'd try to play the course again in the future but will expect a 4 1/2 hour round max.

Great course!

Nice course. Challenging. Sopping wet, but nobody can control that. Cart path only, which was to be expected. Very friendly staff. Will play again.

FYI

For the price, I wish I would’ve knows that certain holes were cart path only, which isn’t a big deal since we’ve had a lot of rain and it’s sloppy and muddy at certain points on the course, but hole 7, the par 3 is totally under renovation for the tee box and what was challenging is a 70 yd par 3, wish I would’ve know that. Also know they book tee times 9 min apart, so when they say they expect pace of golf to go fast is unreasonable, just plan on being backed up all day and the round was 5 hours long. Just FYI

Good course

This is a Pete Due course that is typical of his design style. Tough but fair. He makes courses with intimidating looking tee shots but there’s usually a place to miss, but you usually can’t see it from the tee. Like all of his courses, you need to play it a few times to learn where you can miss, both tee shots and approach shots. It’s a very good layout. Course is in very good condition. I’ll play it again for sure.

A Colorado Beauty

Plum Creek is a beautifully manicured gem of a golf course. Fantastic first time playing Plum Creek. It will be my go-to course every time I visit my brother’s family in Colorado.

Overhyped

Advertised as one of the top courses in the area but at least right that is not the case. The course is currently under renovation. This should be presented to the customer before booking. Also, pace of play is horrific, worst I've experienced thus far this year.

Another windy day

Range was closed for reconstruction. Lots of remodeling. All signs of a great place down the line. Was cart path only. Tough for a 66 year old disabled senior. And its one of the toughest walks on the front range. However, I desperately needed the workout. Im not sure cart path only was necessary and slows the pace significantly. But I will quit my crying .

One of the great layouts you will find on the front range. And when most of the sand traps have steps in them, you’ll realize that its going to be a tough day. Having the option of a blue/white tee really is a nice touch..

Practice your hillside shots. This is a true links course. And although the greens a large the undulation will challenge the best.

Great views and numerous hawk watching along with a great staff makes for a memorable day.
