A Unique Experience
Booked this course at the last minute with no research. The Staff was very friendly and seemed interested in you having a good time. I’m not a fan of having to share a cart with a stranger, but it is required here. I am a cigar smoker and enjoy the golf course more when I’m not concerned about the comfort of my cart mate. Fortunately, the rider who joined me this time did not have an issue with my cigars. One other quirk, the Cart lady is only available at hole five. She and her cart simply set off the tees on five to sell you beverages. Some city ordinance, apparently will not allow her to move to other locations. The distance between green and tee would make this a longer than normal walk if you chose to carry your bag.
Now on to the course. The greens are soft and hold shots well. They role true and quick. Kudos to the groundskeepers. It is a relatively short layout, and there are several options for tees. My major concern was that holes seven and eleven crisscross. It was confusing and led to a bit of congestion. There are several other holes where some additional signage would aid golfers in determining where and when to hit shots. All in all, I’m sure I’ll be back. I think course knowledge is important to truly enjoy your round.
Great Course
Nice relaxing round of golf can’t wait to get back.
Horrible staff beautiful course
Too bad there isn’t a way to give less than one star. Called in advance and they told us we could absolutely have 4 players and 1 rider with no issue so we went ahead and booked the tee time for over $200. Upon arrival they said they can’t give us the extra cart for our 5 players because they were “too busy and had a full house” yet they had plenty of extra carts just parked waiting (before, during and after our 18 holes). We tried to accommodate to them and said our 5th would walk the course with the rest of us in 2 carts but somehow you’re not allowed to walk the course before 1pm so yet again we went back to the drawing board. Our 5th ended up having to drive a hour back home due to the pro shop employees not wanting to help us or work with us at all. We eventually asked for our money back but we were denied so then we were forced to proceed with checking in so that we didn’t waste the $200+. On hole 2 the ranger came up to us and told us we needed to “close the gaps because he had a tee time later in the day and no one wants to play a 5 hour round” The course is beautiful but unfortunately all the staff, including the manager and the ranger made it a very horrible time. Again I really wish I could rate this less than one star. Used to love this place but I will never ever be back after today.
Be Patient
Mad Russian is an awesome golf course. Just be prepared for slow play Marshall needs to do a better job at moving slow players along. And finally if you want something other than water you better buy it before you start on the back nine. No beverage cart on back side, but there is cold water everywhere.
Very friendly
Each staff person we interacted with was very friendly and welcoming. The course is in great shape. We enjoyed our round and will return.
Reminds me of a country club feel. Worth the drive from Denver. Always a great round here. Not super long but makes you play smart shots.
A stimulating, quirky short course nudging course management
This was my 2nd time on this course. I forgot much of it. The course is only 5889y from blue, 5467y from white, and 4339y from red. The unique aspect of the course is where your tee shots from #7 and #11 blue tees cross over the middle of the lake...weird, cool.
We got paired up with a fun couple from Santiago, Chile. In all honesty, you can/should likely play much of this course without your driver if you hit average distance. The course can get penal if you put yourself out of position or find yourself unable to locate you shot which rolled 50 yards out of site and maybe out of play. Know your game and your go-to-shots to keep your ball in play!
#13 is a good example. You can't see over the knoll where folks coming down #17 put the fear of hitting a fellow player into drawing/hooking one into the junk. Then you have a blind shot after your forced drop over taller bushes onto a right sloping hill...into another penalty area.
The greens are trickier than they look and green speeds may be matched to the noticeable slope on the greens. There are funky lies just off the fairway and just off the greens, too. Put on your scramble hat to save your score.
Note, ladies may find the short holes birdie-able or maybe eagle-able. V had an eagle putt from maybe 6 feet after a perfectly judged tee shot on #17!
Apparently, the pumphouse got washed into a pond, and a dam broke, so they are doing pretty well given all that rain and its sequela. Walking is a good workout here in the heat for such a short course. The driving range was out of commission. Finally, they do have an 11 hole rate if you need 29 holes or a shorter day.
Online you can find some scorecards with a par of 69. The current scorecard says par 71. Blue: 67.7/122; white 66/107, red 64.4/108.
