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.

First Time Playing

Greens all rolled true. Not too quick.

Greens in excellent shape. Fairways well maintained Off the fairway anything from thick rough to hardpan. That's what you get for missing. 16-18 reminded me of TPC Woodlands. No room for error. A good mental test for mid - high handicappers.

This course and the facilities are suffering

The course is challenging and has some good points to it. It is very obvious there is little to no money coming in as the facilities are in very bad shape. Though the fairways are maintained, the rough and the outlining areas are suffering.

Value but could be better

At $35 with a cart it is hard to beat the value. The course is fun but challenging. The carts and clubhouse are showing their age. The pace of place was super slow today and the pro shop didn't seem to care. It was the slowest I had experienced here to be fair. Overall a good course and value but a few improvements could make it great.

Buyer beware

Course is OK. Play a few rounds there over the last year. One of Plum creeks representatives offered a round of golf for 4 for $100.00. There was a time limit but I was told if you do not get your round in before the expiration date you would have to pay $20.00 more because the rates will go up in this summer. We get there and was told it is $20.00 per person now. I know Plum creek is hurting but this is not a good way of doing business.

Pleasant Surprise

The course was actually in much better shape than i expected. The greens were in good shape and the ball roll true. The fairways were in good shape given the heat lately, and it was good to see they were not wasting water on the rough. Pace of play was very good, definitely a great course for a Sunday afternoon.

A decent value for the money.

Some apparent sprinkler/irrigation leaks that require attention. Abundant Fairway divots could use attention and like most courses we repaired many ball marks on the Greens. Greens in good shape though. Course with character and various shots required for a good score. Plays fairly long from the back tees.
Overall worth the $45 GolfNow green fee w/ cart.

Great Course, Poor Maintenance

I have been playing Plum Creek for 5 years. For the first 2 years it had great ambience, a nice bar dining area with good food, good drinks and good specials. It was a bit run down, but it was still sort of shabby chic. As management changes were made over time, the food went away, the neighbors who congregated there left, the clubhouse and the course fell into greater and greater disrepair.

This is the first time I've played Plum Creek in 2013 and the course was in much poorer condition that I have ever seen it. Brown crusty patches spatter the once pristine fairways. The grass and hillsides surrounding the fairways are dry, dusty and brown. When we were members we used to play the course for $25 on weekdays. That was a smokin deal. I got a Golf Now tee time for $25 to play this week, and honestly, with the course in its current condition, it isn't worth more than that. What a terrible way to treat a marvelously designed Pete Dye course. I can only hope that someone who is a creative financial and marketing wizard with golf courses will get hold of this place before it is too late.

Challenging but great greens and nice fairways.

I liked it a lot. Plays moderate from the fairways but the greens add a challenge. If you miss the fairway the challenge level goes up due to the type of side hill lie you might get. The par 3s definitely reflect Pete Dye's touch. A good bargain. I've played there again and enjoyed it as much although the wind was up that day and so was my score. the tee times are 10 minutes apart providing good separation of groups.

Course is OK. Range is pathetic. Clubhouse is very dated.

The course layout is good but cartpaths and infrastructure is deteriorating. The range is horrible as are the practice balls.
The clubhouse, roads and walkways are badly in need of repair.

Getting better every week Summer 2013

This is my home course. I play it once or twice a week. It is a Pete Dye Design with all the classic elements included. The track is challenging but rewards good shots. Play from the short grass in order to score. It is hard to get up and down. The course is really playing nicely in mid-July. Greens are as good as I have seen them. The staff is very nice. The club house is aging but seems comfortable enough. The guy on the patio working the grill is pretty good. Brats and burgers are always nicely done.

If you can play it for cheap, it's the right course.

The course continues to need some up keep from the harsh summer. There are a few dry spots throughout. The greens were in good shape though. If you can find a value on golfnow.com for the course, it's a great deal. I played 18 holes at twilight for $25 w/ cart. Would have loved it if the drink girl actually came around at some point during the round (it was 90+), but we never saw one.

I probably wouldn't pay more than $45 to play here. Anything less than that is a great deal.

Course needs some money and then some TLC

Course design is pretty good, but the club is hurting for money and I'm not sure I've ever said that about a course. Unfortunately, almost everything is run down. The driveway, parking lot and cart path is crumbling - sad. The clubhouse is peeling paint everywhere and the range balls are pretty old. I feel bad giving a bad review, but unfortunately, the course is not worth more than $40 with cart.

Staff was nice and pace was pretty good.

Great layout and challenging

I've been golfing at Plum Creek for over 20 years and it is sad to see the amenities and the course deteriorating year by year. It is way to great of a course to let it continually slip away. I will golf here until they close it down.
