Settled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, the golf course at Deer Creek Golf Club at Meadow Ranch is a challenging course that is rich with wildlife. Designed by architect Scott Miller, the golf course has a links-style layout and many challenging elements. The terrain is hilly and there are also ponds that create water hazards that come into play. The course covers over 40 acres, which is inhabited by thousands of different birds. Deer Creek Golf Club at Meadow Ranch has interesting holes that test a number of different handicaps. Although it is a demanding course, it is suitable for all skill levels. Also, any golfer could appreciate the beautifully preserved wetlands and wildlife.

Fun course

I like this course, but the difficult holes slow the pace with people looking for balls. As with most courses in Colorado, they need sand in the bunkers.
Good, fun, challenging course.

Fun Course

After reading a few reviews I was a little worried about our round however I have completely changed my view.. The day was wonderful and I played one of my best rounds. This doesn't look like "poor course management" rather than some heat and mower stress. Spoke with the manager after my round who was very apologetic and also explained the circumstances and different aspects that came into play. Overall my experience was great and they are expecting a quick course recovery! I would definitely recommend this course. Beautiful views and friendly helpful staff.

Conditions Decline

The green and tee condition have fallen off badly since late spring. DC has always had some thin spots on the sloped portions of the greens but this has spread to much of the surface along with other damage. Same situation with the tees. Also some management issues like dry or non- working ball washers and tee blocks often placed on the wrong set of tees.

Poor Conditions and Slow Pace of Play

No course management to increase pace of play. Got through 14 holes in 4 hours and 15 minutes, on pace for another hour to finish the round. Left early due to frustration, only to see that a group a hole ahead of us was two holes behind the next group. Waited 5 minutes to tee off on every hole. Slow pace of play ruined any enjoyment.
Course had been over watered as greens were in very poor condition and very soft - when walking it would indent the green.
Pools of water in nearly every bunker. Overall, very sloppy conditions.

Beat

The course was beat up. The greens had dead patches on them, ball marks all over the place. Patches in the fairways were under repair. There were groups with the radio blaring behind us. The greens are close to the next tee boxes, no trees or natural dividers, so you just have to watch constantly and prepare for someone to yell or scream in your back swing.

Saying that, this is not a bad course. Just not a $50 course ($70 if you are riding).

Good Course Gone Bad

Bad condition all around. Several greens had significant damage and ere not enjoyable to putt on. Tee boxes were in bad shape and needed to be plugged, sanded and seeded. Bunkers had very little sand in them with large rocks. Course was dried out and brown...its a real shame they are not putting more effort into what is a very good course. Was really not happy with the conditions given the $70.00 price tag. There are many other cheaper courses in Denver that are in far better condition.

Ashamed

This course should really be ashamed of themselves the way its kept up. Rock hard bunkers, tee boxes were horrible, green were even worse, almost every area of the course looked up kept. Worst I have seen in Colorado this summer.

Nice Course set up but bad everything else.

I like the way the course is laid out but there are absolutely no directions. There is no signage to guide you to your next hole. I spent more time driving around course then enjoying myself. Greens are in good condition but fairways are all burnt. It is definitely not a course I would spent more then $25 to play.

Poor Conditions - Poor Service

All of the tee boxes were in bad shape, had to tee off 5 yards or more just to get a decent place to tee off from. The fairways and greens had bad burn spots where there was no grass at all, just mud. The staff cleaned the carts with Armerall, including the steering wheel so I had to clean my hands of the grease each time I got out of the cart to hit a shot. The seat was so slippery and the terrain is steep in placess that I almost fell out of the cart because of the slippery, freshly armer all applied to the seats. When I brought this to the attention of the pro shop, they were indifferent and were not interested at all on my comments. This course is a great layout and has been subject to several poor owners. It could be a top 25 course in Colorado if they took better care of it and treated their guests more kindly.

Great shape

Course was in great shape, but the pace of play was slow. We were the 4th group off and there was a delay on every tee box. Having said that, the course was in great shape and fun to play.

Challenging short course

The course is not overly long and rather requires accuracy with your clubs as it is quite narrow in places. Specifically the front 9 is nestled into tight fairways. Losing the ball right (waist deep weeds) or left (weeds and an interstate) mean a lost ball. It opens up more on the back 9, but still has a few challenging fairways where placement is much more important than length. If you can't hit a straight ball this course may frustrate you.

Sand traps were very hard (it had rained all night and a little in the morning). I am sure the rain didn't help, but I can't see these traps being much better dry.

The course was very wet in a few areas (pooling water) after rains the previous night.

Those nitpicks aside, I would golf there again on a dryer day.

Fun course not to expensive on Golf Now but not cart girl on the entire course and all water stations were empty. Tee boxes were really beat up greens were nice. Disappointed on people's attire that was allowed on the course made the course look like a cheap par 3 (gym shorts and tee shirts) seen all day

Nice track

My wife and I played Deet Creek for the first time and really enjoyed the course. The fairways and greens were in great shape. It was hard to hold a green with shots that didn't come in from the moon but once I got that I scored better. We both liked the way the holes were laid out and women that played the forward tees get a huge break. From the golf tees the forced carries looked intimidating, but didn't present a problem. All in all a great day of golf.

Play This Course!

I absolutely loved this course! We had such a great time and the course is in amazing condition. Made my tee time for the wrong day and the Manager was more than accommodating and the whole staff was so helpful. I would recommend this course to anyone who is up for a bit of a challenge.
