Ute Creek Golf Course

Fun open layout. Easy to recover from bad shots without too much penalty.

Issues...

the sprinkler head yardage markers need replacing (not everyone use range finders)

The sand needs improvement. Much of it is so hard just an inch or so down it is hard to get under the ball with any consistency. Very much luck of where in a bunker or which bunker you land in. The answer of course is don't go i the bunkers but...

Friendly course. Holes play with a chnce to recover.

Greems are firm. Lefr few pitch marks so be prepared to roll on approach.

Great value for money. Played 18 with cart for $40

Being older we played from the forward tees (5500 yds.) and had a great time. There are 5 sets of tees that make the course adjustable to your game, from old and short (like me) to long and brutal.

No matter what tees you choose the fairways were generous in width and there was nothing really tricky about the course. There are some greens that are on the smaller side but generally, they are well proportioned to the length of the hole.

All in all the course made golf fun like it's supposed to be and I had fun in spades!

We had a wonderful day of golf at Ute Creek. We were paired with a very nice couple. The gentleman was an excellent golfer. Pace of play was perfect. Course was in great shape. Some of the holes had been redesigned. It was a pleasant surprise. Overall, with great weather, playing good golf, meeting new friends, couldn’t get any better.

The course wasn’t overly busy yet we had to wait on every shot. The Marshall said there was a ladies league that played 9 holes earlier and they were holding up play. Afterwards they were gone and the group in front of us had 1 speed, slow. They need to take up bowling. They left clubs on some holes and didn’t replace or fill divots. They could have let us through but they were obviously going about their round like they owned the course. 5hrs is too long for 18 holes. And the bunkers were wet, and they have a lot of them, so they don’t need to water them, they won’t grow anymore. And I think the last time I was there a few months ago, they had just sanded the greens, so I don’t know why they needed to do it again so soon.

Overall, I was playing golf so it was better than working.

Being older golfers, we played the forward tees and found the course wonderfully playable! The fairways were wide and had grass that allowed wedges as well as woods good lies. Even the generous bunkering was well maintained. If you’re a bomber you’ll also find the course playable and fun! Highly recommend it!

The last time I plaid this course it didn't have any houses on it. It has just opened up. The course has matured a lot, houses are all around it. Weather was excellent, started pouring right after we finished.

Greens and fairways are in great shape, some ball marks on the greens and it seems people aren't repairing them.

Greens rolled well, probably 10-11, first couple of greens were faster then the rest were a little slower.

Enjoyed the course, played with a couple of singles that were very enjoyable to play with.

Fun fair course. Not too punishing for slightly wayward shots. Good length.

Colorado has been hot, greens had been aerated, mowed and rolled. Net result was unreasonable green speeds, despite green fairways and lush rough. I've enjoyed this course in the past, but not today.

Nice course, but they have recently punched the greens so it was still not ideal. They also started us on 10 which also made it tougher than it should be.

This is overall a very nice and challenging golf course. I usually play it several times over the course of the season. Every time I do, I remember what I dislike like about it. It has the worst excuse for sand that I have ever played out of. It actually is more like road base. They have precious little of it in the bottoms of the bunkers. If you try to play a normal sand shot your club just bounces off the hard pan just under the surface. I have been told they use this because of the wind in the winter time blowing the sand away.

So let me get this straight, this is a summer game, but you are more concerned about what is happening in your traps in the winter when few are playing, than giving all your customers in the summer a fair and satisfying experience.....Things that make you go Hmmmmm????? Seems like their ought to be room in the budget somewhere for real sand. If so, I would certainly play this course more.

The overall value of this course makes the hour and fifteen-minute drive well worth it. It was in excellent condition and we finished in four hours.
