Plum Creek Golf & Country Club
About
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.

Fun time
The course itself is challenging, but fair. They keep it properly mowed so that if you keep the ball in play, you have good terrain to hit off of. If you go into the rough, the native can be pretty challenging. The greens have been punched and sanded and are just now rounding back into good putting surfaces. The weather was a little wet yesterday, so the greens were nice and soft. This course has gone through multiple transfers of ownership, so its hard to point any fingers. The course itself is in pretty good shape, but they still have a few areas with drainage problems or that could use a little TLC. Their biggest (and most expensive) problem is the cement walkways and cart paths. It looks like the original concrete vendor was either incompetent or cheaped out, but all of the cement poured at this location is a wreck. It's been that way for at least the last three or four years, so I'm not sure if it will ever be corrected, but it's still a fun course to play.
Awesome Design
This is a Pete Dye course....and it shows in the quality of the design. From the tips, the course is a challenge. I have played here on multiple occasions, and it's always windy!!!! Just adds to the difficulty when playing on a tipped out Pete Dye course!
An older course with good character.
I had read a few reviews and some had indicated the greens were in great shape. Not so. They had been aerated just like other courses in the area. I played winter rules 2putts pick up and it was ok. I thought for the price I got a great deal and really enjoyed the round.
Dog track
This was a waste of money. From the second i got there and they had no inventory in the pro shop, to the cart they gave me having no breaks or tire tread, to the staff not telling me to tee off 10 and letting me to go to the first hole in error, to the WEAK course conditions. All of this experience was no good.
I did play 18 in 2.5 hours as I was solo and it was empty.
But the course is a total dog track. Tons of bad grass all of the course. Spots with no grass, etc.
Pleasantly Surprised!
Great layout and in pretty good shape. There are a lot of challenging hole and target golf. You can tell at one time this was a premier golf course. Unfortunately, housing and condos push righ up against a few holes and if the up keep was better, this would be a premier course. Still, for the money it is an extremely challenging and great exoerience.
Great course.
This is a beautiful course a must play for anyone that has the opportunity.
Great "true" golf course
Lots of challenging holes but, fair and score-able holes are there.
Nice shape but...
The course was in overall good shape but they had aerated their greens and still charged full rates. To pay $60 for a course and no mention of that is not acceptable. I understand courses need to do this but you should not charge a standard rate.
Well worth driving to play
Challenging and a fun course to play. I will be back.
Check course conditions
Call ahead for course condition updates. I saw that Golfnow allows courses to share whether or not they have recently aerated with a BIG "A" on the offering. Plum Creek prefers not to use this option. I wish Golfnow could require facilities to provide this info before booking. Maybe offer an additional discount at check in if they do not fairly represent their course condition.
Needs work
Course condition was poor. The tee boxes were not easily identifiable and the rental clubs were a mismatched set of very low quality.
Fun course in great condition
We had a lot of fun playing this course. Played on a friday morning and never waited at a single tee box. Course was in perfect condition which was surprising so early in the season.
Only complaint was that two of the maintenance crew, both riding lawnmowers, basically followed us around the course and were anything but invisible. There were times when one of them would drive in between me and my ball as I was walking up to it. The guy on the back (we started on 10 so really the front) was regularly within 10 yards of the person shooting with the engine going. No patience, and we played in less than 4 hours.
Other than The Lawnmower Man it was a great experience!
Over Priced
One of the most expensive courses in 40 mile area and in rough to bad shape. Range balls cost the most i ever paid. Most of the tee boxes were solid sand with no grass. There was weeds on a few greens. The staff was helpful and friendly though. Its no wonder this course went bankrupt. I am glad i got to play there once so i can avoid it forever and warn others too.
Great course for the value
Greens were in great shape.
Challenging pin placements
good course
Sometimes I was play by myself this course. Always I met good player's. And I enjoyed my golf.
Course are not busy ever times, I love it.And good courses good price.
Very disappointed
For a course that used to be TPC, this course has declined into a sad shell of what it used to be. We plaed on a Sunday, and were behind a foursome that had a five-some in front of them. Really? On a weekend? Who is sending these groups out? The clubhouse is in poor condition. The paint is chipping, the concrete is cracked throughout the parking lot and car paths. The golf carts are very old. Everytime we put on the break, the back left wheel locked up and caused the cart to skid. When we turned in the cart and told the guy at the clubhouse he came up with a lame excuse about "their horses being old and ridden hard". Huh? The fairways and greens were dry and brown and in poor condition. I know we played in March, but we've played other coursed like spring Valley, and they were in much better shapr that this course. It is obvious that the owner just doesn't have the money to keep this course in good shape. It is sad. The weather wasn't the best (30 mph winds) and that combined with the slow play and the five-some in front of us, we through in the towel after 12 holes. We asked for a raincheck for the back 9 and were declined. Really? I won't be going back to this course. Don't waste your time. There are other courses that have good deals that are much more fn to play and much better cared for. Sad.....
falling apart
It's for sale the carts are old and wore out starter even said they were 2 years overdue on carts. They all locked up the brakes and mine wasnt the only one that ran out of juice before the last hole
Best value course in Colorado
Awesome course that is under rated. Pete Dye design that is challenging but keeps you coming back for more. The club house and parts of the course are run down but made up for in overall design.
