Plum Creek Golf & Country Club

The course suffered mightily from the constant snow and ice this past winter. There is heavy winterkill in the fairways. The greens were recently aereated and look like they will take another month to heal. The course retains its great layout and shot values. Cart-path only seems logical given the condition of the course, but makes for a lot of walking back-and-forth to the golf cart which is far away from the fairway on most holes. When the course conditions improve, of course I'll be back. But it may be in 2024...

The course is in rough shape compared to years past when it was in top condition. I understand it's spring in CO but on almost every fairway there is visible irrigation ditches that were just cut or still visible not having been grown over from last year. The greens are extremely challenging and not in good condition. Aerated fairways. Friendly staff but I think they need to focus on getting the course in better shape.

Reality check... it's VERY dry here in Colorado, especially in our mountains so, given that... EVERY golf course at this time of year is DRY... :)

Okay... as far as challenging golf courses go... WOW! What an absolute blast to play people! Each tee box offers great/scary visuals for placement of your first shot. Then, the real fun begins. If you've conquered the tee shot, hang on tight because this classic PETE DYE design has everything and much more waiting for you around every green! Almost every green features dramatic false fronts, sides and/or backs of the green so if you're not on with your approach shots, and especially when you have a wedge in your hand... well... good luck staying in the mix because if you're playing Skins, you've probably just lost :)!

Sneaky rolling hills everywhere... some water comes into play on some truly scenic holes and of course, Pete's railroad ties are found throughout this classic mountain/links style golf course.

When the season gets into gear and we can get some rain, this course is easily the best deal in town under $100! I'd pay $120 all day to play here!

WALK/RIDE ALERT: I would NOT recommend walking this golf course... the first hole is over 500 yards away just to begin your round and there are a handful of long walks from green to next tee throughout. Also, combined dependency = if "cart path only" is in effect and if you hit away from the cart path, a VERY long day ahead of you, walking across the width of many fairways, then back, then next shot... you get the idea...

Have fun and God Bless!

P.S. - I birdied #16 from the black tee box :)!

My husband and I are so tired of the SNOW in Steamboat that we took the weekend to getaway around Denver and played Plum creek with two amazingly nice men from AZ and CO. Great round for me. Best in years and also one of our new friends had an eagle and we had a blast! Beautiful day and will go back when things are greener come summer.

Decided to play this for the 1st time. As soon as you drive in you can tell how run down it is. They do not take care of anything. Everything is in poor condition, parking lot, driving range, golf carts, course.....everything. The staff was less than friendly. There's no club house, it's a temp trailer that has been there for many years. The course wasnt in good condition either. On one tee box, it was hard pan, you couldnt even stick a golf tee in the ground. We were laughing about that. Good thing i was with friends having fun, because everything else about that day was not. GO someplace else.

Decided to play Plum Creek for the first time this year with a Sunday afternoon tee time. They win the prize for my first 5+ hour round of the year.

Every hole the group ahead of us was still on the tee box when we arrived, it maxed out on #4 when there was a group on the green, one in the fairway and three groups on the tee box. Called the club house, marshal came out and play was better for two holes. Then went right back to the slow play, and never saw the marshal again.

It did not help the group ahead of us was playing the tips, they probably needed to be on the white tees. One member two groups ahead of us was so drunk he crashed his cart into a shrub patch and couldn't get it out, he couldn't even sit in the cart upright, but was never asked to leave the property.

Course conditions could have been better for July, was not impressed. Probably fixed 5 pitch marks per green. Back side recently had some trenches dug, but they are all filled back in and just need grass to grow on it.

Started raining on #7, wish it had continued so it would have given me motivation to quit at the turn. I lost interest by hole #12.

Beverage cart was out, and prices reasonable.

I won't be back to Plum Creek this year, or probably ever. If I'm going to play golf in Castle Rock, I'm going to Red Hawk Ridge, in much better shape and better managed.

Definitely a Pete Dye course. Lots of railroad ties. Lots of humps and bumps. Clubhouse is closed for remodel. Golf shop and food out of a double wide trailer. Layout was fun but the course needs signage. No hole signs with hole number, yardages. Needs signs on cart path telling you where to go. Some bunkers were being repaired so had no sand with French drains exposed. Green speed was worse than St. Andrews is Scotland. So slow looked like they had hadn’t been mowed in days. Greens were hard and were not receptive. A real shame from what a former TPC course should look like and play like. I believe new owners have recently bought it out. Let’s hope they improve everything on the course over the next few years. This course really could be one of the best in the area.

The course was not well maintained. The club house is just trash, as you can tell by other reviews. The staff was very unhelpful and did not see a bev cart come by once. Not worth the amount we paid. There are better courses around.

Said they were open, but after calling all week to verify and no one answering my calls, we showed up to the course closed. I am requesting a full refund.

Nice course, in ok shape but the facilities are really run down. Trash cans overflowing, concrete cracked and broken, no baskets by the range ball machine. Range balls very old, driving range poor condition. The course is nice however but not worth the 79 dollars. Won't be back but hopefully someone will recue this nice course.

This course had no bathrooms open on the course and the bathrooms inside the club house were being worked on. After nine holes we asked that they open the restrooms on back but they didn't. In the cold wind we needed the restrooms and were very upset that they felt that convenience was not a necessity. We asked for a discount based on their problems. The manager said to give us our money back. They said they were going to do that but they did not give us any discount for the terrible condition.

Facilities are in need of some tlc. The menu was limited. The golf course is in great shape. Good greens and fairways. It appears this place is continuing to struggle but the course has the goods. They switched the 9's a couple of years ago. 6,7,8 and 9 are the jewels of the course. Pete Dye at it best flanking water railroad ties and tough. Played with two Air Force pilots and my son. If these guys are protecting us we are in good hands.

I enjoyed my round very much, some holes are very straight forward and easier, some are quite a bit more difficult. Water on several holes and great views. It's a very nice course
