About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 7007 yards
Slope 134
Rating 72.1

The Raccoon Creek Golf Course is a public, 18-hole golf course in Littleton. It covers 7,045 yards from its longest tees and plays to a par of 72. The course has some difficult elements, such as elevation changes, but it is still beginner-friendly. Water hazards come into play on seventeen holes. The most difficult hole of the course, one of the most difficult in Colorado according to the Colorado Golf Associates, is the par-3 17th hole. The hole runs alongside a creek, the creek that the course is named after, and requires a shot over a portion of it to a very well protected green.

Good Track

Good track but needs some TLC in the fairways and rough. We recently had a wet spring but you couldn't tell in the fairways and rough as it was already browning up. Despite this, I would still definitely recommend the course to friends.

One of my favorites

This course is beautifully laid out. It's fun to play and I would say the only complaint I would have and I'm not the only one out there is the Course Marshals are always breathing down your neck even if you are caught up to the players in front. Sometimes I feel like this is NOT a relaxing course to play on and feel rushed. I know this course tries to fill every open position and it can get a little crowded at times. Still it's one of my favorite local courses and would recommend it.

Mature course

Excellence meets age.

You could tell the greens were much older then some of the newer course which was a PLUS.

The rough was actually rough. Also was a great day to try out the new push cart by sun mountain Pro v1 speed cart and new m15 mizuno irons~! Very nice mature course with some good lines. Elevation ect.

Raccoon creek

Great course, Dick Phelps design really cool layout...The green speeds that day where 12's I'm pretty sure but they rolled true... more of a shot makers course can't spray it around here but fairways are generous for driving in the landing areas, can run through the fairways in places cause most hole move right to left or left to right not a lot of straight away holes..most all greens protected pretty good with bunkers but I love bunkers so didn't bother me, looking foreword to playing here a bunch more...

Great Place and even Greater People

I was in the first group to tee off. We had a frost advisory in the morning so we had to wait for a while. But it allowed us to get to know the people who worked there. Very nice. My only concern was I could see how the pace of play could be effected if you don;t get an early tee time.

Great folks, fun course, a treat

We got lucky & took advantage of a midweek hot deal. My partner ran out of gas and was delayed. They were super flexible and allowed us to move later so he could enjoy the round. We played with a Jerry who knew the course and was very helpful as some of the holes were tricky. The GPS system in the carts were great, even showing us how far ahead the next cart was.and how we were doing pace wise for the round. The greens are tricky with their pitch. You may 4 putt before getting used to it. I did on #1. Still very fun. Tricky course to play black tees on 1st round there. Water on 14 of 18 holes. #17 (225y) is a tough club choice in a strong headwind. Unexpectedly nice course. Enjoy!

Good design way overpriced

The design is very good. The condition of the course was dissappointing. Tee boxes were hairy and didn't have a flat spot on them. Bunkers had little sand in them. Greens were in good shape and held shots well. Fairways were gouged up and hadn't been mowed. $75 a head is too much for the shape.

Fun course

Lots of challenges with fast, fun greens. Tips can play a nice distance. Staff has a hard time keeping up with tee offs, pace of play can exceed 5 hours easily

Pace of play seems to be a problem.

When I have played here before the pace was very slow but there seemed to be no marshals, This time, there was no problem with the pace but the threesome I was in was consistently being badgered by a marshal and the starter when we made the turn at 10, even though we were way ahead of the clock and were on the tail of those in front of us
.
I called the night before I booked to ask if it was okay for my wife, who does not play, to just ride along and was told "no problem". When I checked in and told them my wife was riding they insisted a I pay an additional $18 for her to ride. That's "no problem"?
The carts are old gas carts with shredded upholstery. The driving range is beat down to only sand and generally the facility seems rundown. I think I've seen enough of this place.

Great but slow round!

The course was fine and challenging from the tips. The greens could've been more receptive as they definitely firmed up and did not hold all my wedge shots. Pace of play was terrible as there were no carts available when our time came so we went out like 15 minutes late. Otherwise just fine and a steal at the rate on GN.

Excellent setting, interesting layout

A number of the holes have risk/reward opportunities that led to a very exciting round. The course was well maintained and the greens were in great shape, just a little on the slow side (for me personally).

The pace of play was very slow (5 hours), but it was the middle of the day on Sunday. The marshal prodded us (respectfully) despite our waiting on every tee box and approach. I took it in stride and enjoyed the slow paced round on a wonderful day.

Too long from blacks.

Length from black tees seems contrived. One par 3 has men's blacks at 229yards and women's 117. I played with guys playing the blacks poorly and played with them there as well for the heck of it. Too long for me and them.

Driving range tee surfaces horrible.

Beautiful Course

This course was in excellent condition. The views are excellent. The only reason I would not give it a 5 are the tee boxes. A lot of them were not level, especially the ladies. But other than that I was very glad I played it and would play again.

Challenging buy fair

Raccoon Creek is a very challenging golf course with lots of water to navigate. It is a course you want to play more than once or with someone that knows the layout. The greens are difficult with many undulations and varying speed.

This is a difficult course, but it well designed and fair.

5HR 20 MIN ROUND... PACE OF PLAY

This was my 3rd outing this summer at Raccoon Creek that took more than 5 hrs to get in. Waiting on can every shot is unacceptable.They have a marshall and he seems to not have any affect on the slow play. I’m not sure what the problem is ! They have gone from very high on my list to very low. Mabe they need to increase the time between the teetimes by at least a minute probably two. I think they're going out every seven minutes now… they need to increase that to every 9 minutes and get the Marshall out there to keep things moving. It is too bad It's a nice golf course with nice personnel.
