Ute Creek Golf Course
About
Formerly a cornfield, Robert Trent Jones Jr. utilized the natural area and the import of over 600,000 cubic yards of dirt to create the challenging Ute Creek Golf Course. The championship course has a traditional links-style layout that is said to challenge even the most avid of golfers. The public, 18-hole golf course offers 7,167 yards from its longest tees, playing to a par of 72. It features several water hazards, especially on the back nine holes, with five lakes situated on the course and two streams that wind through it. Ute Creek Golf Course's well-bunkered greens and undulating, multi-level fairways provide more interesting elements to the game.

Great course!
Great condition, technical, never boring, been playing the course for 20 years!
Go-To Course!
I love Ute Ck, not just because it's relatively close, but it's easy to get on, an excellent design, and no silly "Cart Path Only" in the off-season, unless it's really soggy. The staff are great!
A gem in north Boulder County!
Hi "kencoltrane" Thank you for the great review! We appreciate the feedback and are glad you were able to come out and see us. Thanks you for the great feedback!
HI "wkgriesinger" Thank you for the 4-star review. We appreciate great feedback!
Hi "bryanbrooks" Thank you for the 4-Star review. Thank you for coming out!
Good course
Very challenging. Bunkers on every hole. Great view of the Rocky mountains.
Thank you for the great review and we are so glad you enjoyed the scenery while playing Ute Creek. Please come back and see us again this weekend.
For late October course in beautiful shape, probably better than summer. Greens were in excellent condition, smooth and fast. Course was very busy because of nice weather conditions but pace of play was good.
Thank you for the review, and we appreciate you coming out to see us. We are so glad the weather cooperated for you this late in the season. Please come see us a few more times before its over.
nice course , very slow on senior day , wednesday
Nice course , don't suggest you play on Wednesdays
senior rate, very slow play 5 hour round, and marshals
are shy about asking golfers to speed up.
Thank you for the honest review. We appreciate the feedback and we will take a closer look into any slow play on Wednesdays. Thanks for coming out and we hope to see you again this weekend.
Bunkers
Bunkers, Bunkers, Bunkers...... everywhere. This is one of my favorite courses along the front range!! All the bunkers are a signature of Robert Trent Jones Jr. and he doesn't disappoint here. With that said, I wish they would re-work the bunkers. They are getting pretty compressed and packed down. I makes them difficult to hit out of. Other than that, this course is ALWAYS in great shape and a real joy to play.
Thank you for the great review. We appreciate the feedback and we will look at putting some effort into our 2018 budget for next year once the golfing season reopens. We appreciate you coming out to see us and hope to see you again soon.
Except one thing....
I love this course. It has become a new favorite especially when using GolfNow discounts and another discount booklet I have. I find this course challenging but fair. It is not a "gimmick" course and by changing the tees you hit from you can really alter what you sign up for as far as difficulty.
The one issue I have is the sand. Not the amount of traps, again challenging but fair, but it's the condition of the sand. Simply put the sand consistently does not seem well maintained at all. It is crusty or like hitting off pavement. i've probably played 7 rounds here this year,
Other than the sand this truly is my second favorite course in Northern Colorado second to Mariana Butte, which has it's own issues with being too pricey and RARELY having any real deals.
Hi "danimal007" Thank you for the great review. We appreciate the great feedback and enjoy having you out at the course. We appreciate being one of your top courses in the area, such a great compliment! Thanks for coming out and we hope to see you again before the end of the golfing season.
Great course- great value
Greens excellent overall course conditions also excellent!
On line specials offer great value!
Thanks for booking your round with us online! We appreciate the great compliments and are so glad you received such a great deal online. Please book your next round with us soon.
Excellent Course
Ute Creek is a great course, it was in great condition and with the 4 tee boxes, the length can be as challenging as you want. I will play this course whenever I can get out.
Thanks for the awesome review. We appreciate you coming out and are so glad you enjoy all of our tee box options. Thanks for coming out and we hope to see you again this weekend.
Inconsiderate Maintenance, Arrogant Staff
Mowers (both fairway and greens) ignored players, we had to wait for them to get out of the way for shots, from tee to green! Unacceptable!!! Clubhouse staff personnel are arrogant, act like it's a privilege to play 'their' course!!! NO discounts for being a Longmont resident!!! Course refreshment cart presence is sporadic, at best. An alternate course selection, at best, even though I live 8 minutes away - I'm more than happy to give my business to courses in neighboring cities!!!
Thanks for sharing your feedback. We'd love to hear more about your specific experience to see where we could continue to improve our offerings; would you consider reaching out to our head golf pro at (303) 774-4342 to share your thoughts? ~ Golf Longmont Team
Beautiful views
Beautiful layout with great conditions. Set in a development, but only felt claustrophobic on a few holes. On those you can lay back with an iron or hybrid and still have a decent shot at the green. Pace of play was very good until the back nine, where we had to wait on the tees some, but not excessively. The views of the massive red rock outcroppings were a good distraction for my poor play that day. The price is about what I would expect for this level course, in a vacation destination Staff was friendly and professional. They got us loaded right away, gave us good information, got us out earlier than expected, when an opening was available, and were there cleaning our clubs as we walked off the last green. They should be a model for other courses on customer service. Excellent job staff!
Hi "blewbyou" Thank you for the great review. We are so glad you enjoyed the course layout. We appreciate you coming, please come back and see us again soon.
Fun Course!
The course is always in great shape, my only complaint is that the greens don't recover well from ball marks. The layout is interesting and the views fantastic!
2 Different Great Challenges
The front nine is excellent, and can be moderately forgiving. I usually shoot 2-3 strokes better on the front than the back. The greens are fast, but not breaking the stimp-meter. Good long driving holes.
The back is another story, as it is more a links style. Every missed shot can cost multiple strokes. The fairways are tight, bordered by tall grasses and ditches, or water. Easy to lose a ball. Lot's of risk/reward decisions to be made.
This is what you would expect from a Robert Trent Jones course.
Hi "tmchugh99" Thank you for the review, we appreciate the great feedback and hope to see you again soon!
Hidden Gem
Ute Creek is still a hidden gem, mainly because it is a distance from most population centers in the area. Everyone I've taken there has gone, or wants to go, back.
It is just a great course, good layout, and friendly place to play for any player.
Hi "u000007743851" Thank you for the great review, Thanks for coming out and we hope to see you many more times in the future. Thanks for the review!
big boy course, no trees
I really like this course . It can play way too long for me yet has tees that any one would enjoy. Well bunkered and good water placement make this a super links style course. The tees and fairways are in great shape and the greens are excellent. The 5 par 5's and 5 par 3's are unique. Fun to play.
Hi "johnsond1472" Thank you for the great review! We appreciate you coming out to see us and are glad you enjoyed the course layout. Please come back and see us again soon!
Pace of play
Course is a pretty good layout, but the pace of play was terrible. We waited on 6 straight hold for 7-10 min on each tee. When the Marshall finally showed up on 16 he told us it was too late to do anything and that it was not his fault and drove on. The let a foursome dictate the pace all afternoon. It got so bad that we did not play 17 and 18 we just left. When we told the gentleman in the clubhouse he tried to justify why it was not their issue. I sent an email to the pro, no response.
HI "u000005187539" Thank you so much for correcting your review. We apologize for the delay as the email address we had on file was incorrect. We appreciate you coming out and hope that you will change your overall star rating on your next visit.
Being fair, I need to amend my review as I was tracked down bye the pro and he apologized for the issue. The email that he had for me was incorrect (my fault). He apologized for the issues and offered me another opportunity to come out to the course. I will go out another time and give it another go!!
Great through the years ...
Ute Creek. I've had the good fortune of playing many, many rounds at this course through the years. I really love it here. Great value for a great course with a great designer behind the layout. Plop this course down anywhere on the east coast and your easily paying out $100-$150 for the round. No where close to that here in Colorado, just a great value. Enough said.
Hi "jbarry333" Thank you for the great review, we appreciate the kind words regarding the course condition and love having you back each time. Thank you for coming out and we hope to see you again soon. Thanks for the great photo!
Great course for all skill levels
My favorite course in this part of Northern Colorado
