The Dunes Golf Course is one of two golf courses at Riverdale Golf Club. The Dunes is the more expensive of the two -- although non-residents still pay less than $50 to play on the weekend -- and the more popular play. That's because the Pete and Perry Dye design, located about 30 minutes outside Denver, is considered to be among the top public golf courses in Colorado. The Dunes is a Scottish-style links course, filled with pot bunkers and railroad ties, and is an enjoyable and challenging course for any level of golfer. The par-3 eighth has a shallow green with water in the front and some of the toughest rough on the golf course, and the short par-4 finishing hole has a difficult green to navigate. Riverdale Golf Club is also home to the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame.

    The very worst golf experience I have ever had in 40+ years of golf. Jeff Meeker was on duty last Sunday and decided to meet our foursome as we came off the 9th hole. Without a prior warning, he said "don't even think about going to the snack stand. You are a hole behind (by the way, the group behind us was at least one hole behind) and if you don't catch the group in front of you in two holes, I will bodily remove you from the course". My wife was shaken up by this idiot but I stayed cool for her sake. Riverdale Dunes, this guy is going to cost you and this is probably not the first time it's happened.

    I love this course. It's well worth the drive . Make sure you play this course and not Riverdale Knolls. A Dye layout with #15 being the signature hole and the only course I ever saw with the 18 handicap hole being a par 5. Usually in very good shape

    Riverdale Dunes is my favorite public course to play along the front range! This course offers a challenge to all levels of golfers. You can customize the course to your handicap by choosing the appropriate tee box. The course is always in great shape!
