Working on it

Haven’t played this course for a year. Conditions are improving. Tee boxes are still pretty rough but box layout and spacing is good. Greens have been recently sanded and did not putt well because of that. Fairways are coming back but need more grass in places. Cart paths are still pretty rough. It appears the entire place is being worked on but it’s still got a way to go.

How is this place still open?

Not even sure where to start. The club house looks like it’s on its way to being condemned. After checking in, not sure why I even bothered with a tee time. My buddy and I got there early and they let us go out and I quote, “as soon is the group in front tees off and your next in that line then go.

Course condition was something else. Tee boxes if you want to call them that were small. Fairways were a mess and greens, well you might have well putted from the fairway. “Greens are in some of the best condition and that I have seen” - Them not me.

I would imagine that everyone there was in the same place I was, saw a course near the airport to be able to get some swings in. However would not recommend to anyone even if it was free to play. They are charging entirely to much, my question what are they putting that money into and yes it was busy.

Not Pebble Beach

I'm spoiled. For $40 in Denver you get a great muni course. Here it gets you a barely maintained muni. Tee off, approach shots are fine. No playing out of the traps and I didn't even putt. Great for practice when no one is behind you. Hit 4 balls, get them to the green, pick up and move on.

might be the worst golf course in america

I have never played a worse course, and the prices are insane. It's clearly a cash grab for first-time visitors. I'll never go back to this course or recommend it to anyone. the price to play 9 holes there should be 10$ and that's generous.

Great for a quick round or starting out

You are not going to get the country club experience but the course is maintained, has a driving range and the staff has always been extremely nice. Club house has all you need if you forgot anything.

Great 9 hole course for the price! Some greens are a little rough, but for the price you can’t really complain much, beautiful fairways and scenery!

This is a hit and miss course.

First out of the tee box on the day I played so a pace of play was not a problem.

This was an unfamiliar course for me. Some of it's in real good shape and some of is in need of help. But then again aren't all courses this time of the year in that situation? Some challenging holes and some not. Some of the tee box markings weren't very helpful and left me confused as to where my next direction was to be. I probably play this course again due to the low cost. It appears, for the locals it's a good value. Plus it's quick to play.
