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.

Play Plum Creek

I like this course. Challenging in that you must keep your ball in play and several tough lies. One think I would recommend to the course is have a clock by the driving range and clubhouse.

Har tee boxes and greens

The tee boxes are so hard you can barely get a tee into the ground. And event then you needed to search for a soft enough location to place a tee. The greens are firm and every hole had ball marks all over them. I always fix may ball marks and others that I see but there are like 10-15 on each green.

I wold recommend this course when the spend some time caring for it.

Too long of a round

5 hour 20 minute round for a course that really isn't that challenging. We were double stacked by the 2nd hole. Saw the marshall a few times and all he said was "Hurry up and wait, huh" with a chuckle. I gues the only good thing was getting to know the groups in front and behind us since we saw them on every hole.

Really Nice Layout

The course was busy but it still played less than 5 hours. I see that the requested play time is 4 hours 20 minutes. We didn’t comply but could only go as fast as the group ahead of us, which we waited for on every tee. Thankfully, the marshal didn’t give us any problem and was super nice! We really enjoyed the course! The refreshment cart attendant was great and came by often on a hot day to make sure we were properly hydrated. We will be back!!

Major improvement over last year

All the major course improvement begun last year are now completed (e.g. sand traps, drainage, turf, greens, etc.). My round was 4-1/2 hours. Staff very friendly and helpful. Some of par 4s were quite long, uphill and difficult to get a par on. Nice to see mule deer healthy and on the course. A treat.

On the right track!

The course is in pretty good shape. Can’t wait to see what this course will look like in another year or two once the renovations grow in
