About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 7084 yards
Slope 141
Rating 73.4

Along with a nine-hole, par-3 course, Green Valley Ranch Golf Club also offers an 18-hole championship length course. Designed by Perry Dye, the course is 7,241 yards at its longest tees and plays to a par of 72. The course is a short distance south of the Denver International Airport and downtown Denver is easily accessible. The course is challenging and also scenic; it is not a rare occurrence to see wildlife such as deer on the course. Dye successfully incorporated the natural landscape of the area. The natural creeks and wetlands as well as the beautiful cottonwood trees were kept in tact. The course has received several honors from widely read golf magazines such as Golf Digest and Golf Week.

For the traveling golfer who needs a great course near the airport, Green Valley Ranch is perfect.

This is an excellent course, especially for the traveling golfer whose time is limited. I got off the plane at Denver International Airport and within an hour I was playing. The course is challenging, varied, memorable and in great shape. And the price was right. I didn't even realize it was a Perry Dye design and that was an extra bonus.

Fantastic Links Style Course

My experience at Green Valley Ranch was a pleasant one. It was good to see that even though I had the first tee time at 6 AM the driving range and practice facilities were open at 5:30, this is not the case at many courses that I play at. The course was in great shape and was a challenge for a first time player, fortunately I was paired up with a member who gave me great advice on the course. The greens were fast and true, just how I like them. After my round I stopped in the restaurant for a Breakfast Burrito and a Bloody Mary, both were very good as was the service. I look forward to playing GVR again soon.

Sweet Course

Sweet Golf Course. Certainly one of the Best in the Denver area. Even though Green Valley is across town, I'll make the drive anytime to play this course. I do take the occasional lesson at Green Valley

Range balls included

Nice conditions, well maintained, good staff, like the free range balls, wish more courses would take up this practice. Challenging even from the shorter tees, lots of carries over water/swamp, need proper club selection. Well worth the price, just need to return carts in time else the GPS controller will continuously remind you of this.

This course is a good challenge.

This course played slow for no obvious reason other than they must have put too many groups out too close. I always enjoy the challenge to my game and will return.

Top of the line course

GVR provides a great golf experience. A fairly easy driving course with wide fairways, (if you miss bad you do get penalized). The large undulating greens ran quick and true and tested your green reading abilities. The course was well maintained.

A little slow on pace of play, mostly due to one or two groups playing from the wrong tees.

Friendly

Course was preparing for senior tournament. Very tough pin placements and fast greens. Rough was spotty making for difficult lies just off the fairway. Other rough was so thick you could not find a ball. Makes for higher scores and longer rounds.

Great views of the rockies, and the course was in great shape.

Wide open fairways, but if you get off you'll be in trouble. No houses crowding the course and great views of the rockies. The course was in great shape and the greens ran fast and true. Fun, enjoyable course!

first timer trying new course

I really enjoyed the layout and the variety of holes. The pace of play was pretty bad though. I could definitely see evidence of the epidemic of slow play that has hit the US in my group. We were not playing ready golf. I had guys waiting on me to chip or pitch from 15 feet when they had 50+ foot putt and I would say "please go ahead if you're ready". One member in my foursome waited on a 225+ yard shot into a par 5. After watching him for 8 holes I can tell you for certain that he would need a once in a lifetime shot to get it close to the green. But he insisted on waiting saying "hey, it could happen". I'm a big believer in playing the percentages but I guess I'm the minority. And I didn't see one course marshal all day. Disappointing. For the money I expected better pace of play.
