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 7,007 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.

Greens still in winter condition

Pace of play picked up second 9. Very slow first 9. Staff was courteous and friendly. Carts are nice with GPS. You can also rent board rider golf carriers which are nice for the younger golfers. Course is still in winter condition. Greens were sanded.

Better markings?

My main criticism would be directions from one hole to the next could be better marked out. Course will play better as the season warms and the grass starts growing.

Great Course But Slow

This is a great golf course and I'd recommend it to anyone who has 6 hours to burn. Always in good condition, a very fun layout, but this has to be the slowest course in the state. I have played here 10+ times and have never finished a weekend round in under 5:15.

Fun but difficult course with slow play

Raccoon Creek is a really beautiful course to play. It is difficult, 14 holes have water hazards, but reasonable if you actually play the tees you are rated for by handicap. As usual, there are plenty of ding dongs that play the "tips" who have no business doing so. The marshals came around a lot to check pace of play and it was average for a weekend. We rode but the two others we were paired with walked. That slowed us down sooooooo much. I can't believe we weren't rushed ahead by the group behind us. The marshall hurried my partner and I once which was ridiculous as we were both only 5 over but our other two were ultra, painfully slow. The course is in great shape though!! Still had fun even though it was such a long round.

Early morning play

Got the 6:29 am tee time. No one in front or back. Course is in amazing shape. Tee boxes have gotten better, ( no bodies buried underneath). Bunker sand is now real sand. The staff is always fabulous and friendly. We got done in 3 1/2 hours.

Great track

Very cool course with some tricky layouts. There's some sort of trouble on most holes so keeping it in the fairways is ideal. Get I'd size greens that were receptive to well hit shots. 18 holes took just over 4 1/2 hours with nobody in front of us.

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.
