Pine Creek Golf Course is part of the La Plata Communities in Colorado Springs. The course winds through the Pine Creek Valley, providing a lush and varied landscape. The course sprawls across high plains grasslands with abundant trees and lakes coming into play throughout. The seemingly gentle terrain has tricky undulations that total over 375 feet of elevation changes. The front is a canyon-style nine while the back is more of an American links design. There are creek beds coming into play on nearly every hole as well as strategically placed bunkers. In addition to the challenging round, the golf course offers stunning views of Pikes Peak, the Front Range, and the entire Colorado Springs skyline. At Pine Creek there is also a unique elevated, target-oriented grass driving range, a practice green, and a short game area.

• 9-hole play is welcomed on a walk-in basis. 9-hole reservations available starting 1pm Mon-Thur & 3pm Fri-Sun.

• Junior rates are available by walk-in only and cannot be reserved in advance.

• While playing alone inquiries are always welcomed, groups may be asked to pair up when appropriate.

• Rain checks are valid 30 days. Thank you for rescheduling.

Interesting course

Pine Creek is an enjoyable course that provides a variety of holes and some of the most scenic views you can find. The blend of terrain and added water and protected areas offers a challenge. Greens and fairways are in good condition.

I don't understand

Many golf courses, including Pine Creek, have constructed several sets of tees for each hole so that golfers can choose the distance that best suits them and their game.Then they take that choice away from the golfer by having the tee markers frequently placed on the wrong box and not having markers at all on some of the boxes. Pine Creek is a major violator as there seems to be little care given to where tee markers are placed. I've played here hundreds of times and love the course, but this misplacement (or lack of proper placement) of tee markers irritates me every time I play here. Springs Ranch Golf Club, for example, always has the markers on the proper box--very much appreciated.

Hello, we have 4 sets of tee markers here ranging from 4800 – 7200 yards. However, we do have auxiliary tee boxes on a lot of the holes that will not have tee markers on them. These additional tee boxes not only help to ensure maximum turf quality, but also provide flexibility to utilize all of the course layout’s natural features.

Not an Expert

I am still a beginner. As a beginner I thought it was fun and challenging. The Greens were still being prep for the season, but were not horrible. The golf shop was being remodel and I just seen it yesterday 6/26/17 and its amazing. Food lounge is a little dated but great environment and people. I will be playing this course more often and possibly getting my golf lessons from there. I am not the greatest golfer but as a beginner I don't think the greens would be as difficult if I could hit the ball straight, lol. I still enjoyed my time...ResPect

Beautiful but just too tough.

It's been a few years since I've played Pine Creek and it's going to be a few more before I play it again. It's in great shape save a few bunkers that need some attention, and is quite beautiful but it's just too punitive for any but really low handicappers. On several holes, a missed fairway is a lost ball or at best a stroke just to get it back in play. And in some cases, same for a missed green - like #12. About 10 feet separate green and very dense rough on the right. With enough course knowledge, much of the trouble can be avoided but any mistakes and mishits can extract severe penalties. And even some safe lines can land you in trouble with even a slight miss. Its toughness can be appealing to the single digit guys but if you're a high teens player it can be a frustrating time.

Stunning views and excellent course

Pine Creek is the perfect course for the intermediate to advanced golfer seeking incredible mountain views, elevated tee boxes and challenging shots. Every hole is unique and you will use every club in the bag. The groundskeeping crew has done a remarkable job making the conditions the best they can be in the unpredictable Colorado weather. Highly recommended for tourists and out of town friends and family. They will remember this course!

Very Good Golf Experience

Course was in excellent shape. Fairways and greens were well maintained and freshly mowed and manicured. Pace of play was poor due to two foursomes that took forever looking for lost balls, causing some players to skip some holes. Except for the pace of play, the golf experience was very nice.

Great Day at Nice Course

Course is in great shape for May in Colorado Springs. The greens are almost summer ready, they putted nice for being punched not too long ago. The 19th hole did not have food available, nice area and they said it will be fully manned soon. Overall, great golf, fun holes and a good time.

Lots of Fun Golf Holes

A well designed golf course is one that makes you question your club selection often and gives you fun, interesting shots throughout the round. This course has a lot of fun holes, that will reward you for playing smart.

I might be slightly biased to this course because I had one of my personal best rounds here recently, but I usually play better golf when the tee boxes are flat and the grass is well maintained. Lots of respect for the maintenance team for everything they do.

Pine Creek Review

This course is poorly managed relative to allocating traffic and providing assertive pace of play. As a consequence, it will often cluster foursomes and have multi-hole gaps in between. They need to put more thought and effort into managing the traffic to assure an acceptable pace of play.

March 17th in Colorado Springs?

Great round a of golf. It is unbelievable that the course is in this condition so early. The warmest March on record (easily predicting this midway through the month).. Perfect greens and great running carts. The clubhouse bar and restaurant is an absolute embarrassment. i would personally like to offer my services to this course to run the bar and restaurant. I would make this place the happening place on this side of town. Guaranteed!

Good winter conditions

Even though it's mid March the course was in pretty good shape. There was one fairway that was a little swampy and the greens still had a little sand on them, but I'm not complaining for this time of year. My only complaint is the pin placement is constantly being changed by the group in front of us cause the course leaves 3 holes open on each green. So you really can't be sure of pin placement until you are on top of the green.
