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.

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.

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.....

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.

It's a shame

The course was once a TPC, nice club house, has been let go and is no longer well kept. New owner is not making necessary improvements. I'm concerned that it won't last much longer.

Course in great shape

I've played this course twice in the last week due to Golfnow's great pricing. I had read previous reviews, making me hesitant about driving the 45 minutes, but was pleasantly surprised on the condition. Fairways were filled in nicely and greens rolled very true. I agree with many of the reviews saying the cart paths and roads are in bad shape, but if its a choice of course maintenance vs. road upkeep I'm glad they chose putting the money into the course.

I really enjoyed the course. It's a challenge with some tough tight holes, but very fair at the same time. Some very good Pete Dye holes on this course.

Great layout, challenging course, greens hard but fast and true

Very challenging Pete D\ye course with very good greens, although hard to hold in fall conditions. Greens true and fast.
The cart paths, and tee boxes etc are not being kept in great condition, but for the most part that does not affect play.

Pretty course, but needs alot of maintenance.

Tight course designed by Pete Dye. Target golf on many holes. The driving range was a joke, but the course was in good shape, especially the greens. We enjoyed the course which was challenging. The facilities are in poor shape - signage at holes, buildings, cart paths, practice areas. The views of Castle Rock and mountain ranges were nice.

A no frills course.

Not for the high handicapper as there are blind spots that make finding wayward balls a challenge, for a capper at 90 or under then it is an ok to average course. The holes that have water in play are a challenge that pays for the confident player and one of the aspects to this course that makes it enjoyable.

My warm up and practice was intruded on by workman having to do maintenance on the putting green while i was using it and i still had 15 minutes left before i was due to start play.

The driving range does not have clear range distances so for any player trying to get a feel for lengths with their clubs may find that unhelpful.

Nice challenging course with great views

First time playing this course. I liked it because it has some challenging holes and greens. The course itself is still in pretty decent condition, despite some of the bad reviews. It would help if everyone did their part to repair their divots on the greens and fairways. The cart paths got bad reviews---just drive around the bad parts---pretty simple. The only knocks about the course are no water stations or ball washers. Take your own water and a wet towel and you're good to go.

had a great time at plum creek

We had a great time at plum creek and got a great deal on golfnow.com. played on a Thursday afternoon.

tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in pretty good shape overall. Probably not in as good as shape as it was in its prime but still a good tract.

I read other reviews before I booked that complained about clumpy rough, old carts, poor cart paths, tired clubhouse, and poor range balls. Here's my experience:

* cart was old but it got me around just fine.
* cart paths aren't pristine but who cares and they're not as bad as some people indicated. Those whiners should play some of the courses I used to play in Houston.
*club house is old school and could use updating but the beer was cold, the bartender was friendly, and they had a fine looking BBQ going outside
* clumpy rough. It's rough, it's not supposed to be fairway and there is supposed to be a penalty for being there. fairway and 1st cut were fine
*poor range balls. I didn't hit any and what I saw looked pretty tired but when I do hit them I'm just trying to loosen up. I'm not trying to dial in distances with range balls.

My advice is go and enjoy yourself. It's a fun, challenging course that can usually be played for less money than it's worth..

Good bang for your buck

The course was in great shape. I had read negative reviews, but I paid $60 and it was worth it. Aside from aerated greens, the tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. They had an outdoor grill, and the brat I had was delicious. My buddy and I agreed the layout was fair, not gimmicky (Fossil Trace), and challenging. We played the back tees, and enjoyed our round. I would play there every weekend if the cost were around $50.
