Reader Ratings / Reviews
- Do not play on Sunday afternoons during the summer or you will have to wait on every shot behind groups of 5 and 6 people comprised of golfers who do not have the skill or etiquette knowledge to be playing on a semi-private golf course. The pro shop neglected to mention to us (a two-some) and the single golfer behind us that there was an adult/junior league Sunday evenings. After calling the pro shop in attempt to remedy the situation, the head pro at the time failed to speed up the play and was unable to locate us on the course even though we reported our specific location. Upon completion of the round, we approached the pro and rather than providing us any refund for our round, he defended the groups in front of us and had no solution on how to remedy the situation for upcoming Sunday evenings. We have been playing on this course for 15 years and are members; however, if this happens again and we receive the same poor customer service we will take our business elsewhere.Nice course in great condition with a wide variety of challenging and interesting holes. Playing from the blue tees (6,719 yards), most holes rewarded accuracy, while severely punishing wayward tee balls. First time visitors would be wise to play with someone knowledgeable of specic ball placement on several tee shots. Greens were true and held good shots while also offerring ample opportunities for 3-putts.
Pace of play became unacceptable on back nine (especially for an early Monday afternoon). This resulted in a 5-hour round.
Nice range - only $4 for 20 balls - and well-matched putting green to the actual conditions experienced on the course.
I will play this course again and highly recomend it for its condition, challenge and positive overall experience.The only place I know that charges your credit card if you forget to cancel a tee time. A whopping $150. So mind your tees!
Otherwise, a wonderful golf course with many risk-reward holes that plays dandy. A few interesting holes that you'll need someone who knows the layout to help you aim shots.
Otherwise, very well maintained and as the DU home course, no wonder. The clubhouse is great and the food tasty, the staff helpful and friendly.
Slow play can be a factor sometimes, but not often. They're good at marshaling.
Shot accuracy not a huge premium, but a few spots that will hurt you if you don't hit straight.
Only hole that's sorta goofy is a short Par3 that plays to 90 or so yards over a gully. Quirky. Otherwise, terrific.
Front 9 a good walk, back 9 tougher as the holes are further apart and more hills. They'll let you go 1/2 and 1/2, which is nice.
