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.

Sad Day

Well this was my second round of the week. Waited both times for

Baskets to hit range balls. Both times I waited more than ten minutes for a cart. Second time I was given a dirty cart and the display screen was dead. Charged $25 extra for the wife to just ride with me. Then of course the battery went dead. What a joke this place has become. The greens have been jammed with play! Totally putting too many people on the course at one time for the staff.

Pace of play and green conditions or two good reasons to skip this course

I’ve played this course three times, and the pace of play for a semi private course is ridiculous. The first round was five hours and 40 minutes and the second round we gave up after nine because we were already into it for three hours 10 minutes.

Many of the greens look like they’ve been hit by landmines, again, surprisingly poor conditions for what is supposed to be a semi private course.

Was also disappointed that we did not receive prior notice that our day of play was cartpath only

Improving but not there yet!

Plum Creek is certainly in better shape than the last time I played it a few years ago. I have always enjoyed the layout since I was a member back in the 90's. However, I am spoiled with sub 4 hour rounds at my home club and yesterday took 5 hours to play. We waited numerous times on the tee - sometimes as long as 10 -12 minutes. I would suggest playing the course when it is not full if that is ever possible.

5 hour and 40 min round of golf

4 some in front of us were incredibly slow, adding to the fact the course was cart path only because of rain prior day. Asked to play through and was denied. Talked to ranger, he committed to increasing pace of play with no results.

With the work being done on the course right now Plum Creek will be one of Colorados top courses next year.

Keep up the good work!

Beautiful Course, Excellent Staff

The course is in great shape, and is very challenging. A lot of big, multi-tiered greens. The service was great, staff and amenities are top notch. The food was only OK at the turn, but the bar had a very modern vibe. Pace was slow, but it was a Saturday afternoon.

Not worth it currently

Way too much construction going on to pay $100. Holes cut down like a 50 yard par 3 and a 308 yard par 5. Bunkers being rebuilt on the front which will be great later on. Again, just too much money for playing a course with that much construction going on.
