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.

View from Ute Creek Clubhouse Photo submitted by judehoney on 10/23/2012
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.
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
Hi "BillMHill" Thank you for the great compliment, enjoyed having you at the course today!
Nice Course for the Money
Nice layout and really fast pace of play most of the time. Not a really hard course but there are lots of challenging shots. If you are on your game you can shoot a great round! Highly recommend!
Hi "biggarlick" Thank you for the great review! We appreciate the great feedback and enjoyed having you out today. Please come back and see us again soon.
Great course bad shape
Overall it was a good day, bunkers hard and not Sandy. Greens pocked, repaired more ball marks than made by 10 fold. Brighton courses in better shape for same price. Took over 5 hours to play 18. Enough said, sorry prob won't be back
Hi "brent1635413" Thank you for the honest review. We appreciate the feedback and are currently trying to improve our pace of play. Thank you for making us aware of the situation and we hope to see you again.
Majestic course
Ute creek and HighlandMeadows are the two class courses of northern Colorado.
Hi "pghsmw44" Thank you for the great review. We are glad to be considered one of your favorite courses in northern Colorado. Please come back and see us again!
Hi "pabs31" Thank you for the 5-Star review!
Worth the trip!
Having driven from Hilton Head to visit family I found this course an unexpected delight from start to finish, well worth the drive. Course condition was excellent with kudos going to the "super" and his staff for it's fine maintenance. Fairways, rough, traps, greens and tee boxes were superior, didn't roll a ball all day. Courteous staff was encountered throughout round and the food was not only good but fairly priced. Great day at a great course, looking forward to my next visit.
Hi "Tkrae" Thank you for the great review! We appreciate you coming out to Ute Creek and giving us a try. We appreciate the great compliments regarding the course conditions and our great staff. Can't wait to have you back with us!
A Fair Trent Jones course
Not a big fan of Trent Jones designs, but this course was fair for the avg player. From the back tees it still entertains you with awkward sight lines and Bunkers that mess with your depth of field.
Great Value and great course. I would definitely play there again, no question.
Hi "Chipshot12002" Thank you for the great review. We appreciate you coming out and are so glad you enjoyed the course design. Please come back and see us again this weekend!

You'll Like This Course
Ute Creek is a wonderful course to test yourself, and enjoy beautiful scenery on the course as well as the nearby Rockies. Pick from three tees to match your game, 7200 from the tips, 6700 for a mid-range, and 6200 for us mortals. That said, the fairways are generous and you have no excuses there, unless the wind is up on this wide open layout. However the greens are well bunkered and depending on pin placements will be more challenging to get close. The greens are typically fast and smooth, and while they were lightly sanded when I played it had no effect on putting. You'll enjoy the layout, offering the traditional two 3-pars and two 5's on the front, before switching it up across the back with three of each.
Hi "MrBig" Thank you for the review. We are glad you enjoyed the course from all tee selections. Please come back and see us again in the the near future.
Really enjoyed this course
This was a great first experience. The course has interesting hole shapes, not just out and back. Some high risk/ high reward shots where you try to reach a par 5 in 2 by cutting off some yardage. But you risk a sand trap. The trouble is generally visible (I hate hidden hazards, so unfair) and my only complaint would be that the sand is fairly coarse. Pace of play was outstanding for the front nine, but then we caught the field and it was more like 2:20 on the back. Not awful, but kind of meh. I recommend and will return at some point
Hi "SteveBoger" Thank you for the review. We appreciate you coming out to see us and we hope that you will give us another try in the near future.
Best bang for your buck I know of in CO. A fun but challenging course with great views. Love the three par 3's and three par 5's on the back nine. The course is run professionally, but also as friendly as I have encountered.
Hi "blakegriesser" Thank you for the wonderful review! We really appreciate the kind words regarding our excellent staff. Don't forget to follow us on our @golflongmont Facebook page for more golf savings!
Hi "u7101030" Thank you so much for the 5 star review! We really appreciate the great feedback.
Ute Creek
I have played this course several times, however first time this year. Great course! Not an easy course. It has a few easy holes and some very tough holes. Practice getting out of the bunker before playing this course. I look forward to playing this course again soon.
Hi "david3589" Thank you for the great review. We are so glad you enjoyed your round with us!
Best course in the area!
I play this course every summer while visiting from Scottsdale. This year we played Ute twice. The staff is always super friendly, and the course is always in excellent shape. This year the greens were as good as I've played on in a long time. Look forward to coming back every year!
Hi "Kusbel" We appreciate you visiting us from Scottsdale. We hope you enjoyed your round with us and hope to see you again next year! Thanks for the review.
watch for specials
This is a very good course, and worth the extra driving distance to the course.
Bring a couple of extra golf balls, because it is easy to loose a few on the several water hazards.
Beautiful surroundings, and hitting off the fairway is not too much of a problem, except on about 4 holes..
Hi "golf4randy " Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you enjoyed your round with us. We do post specials on our Ute Creek and Golf Longmont Facebook page so don't forget to like us so you can check them out!
