Par 72
Length 7676 yards
Slope 144
Rating 75.5

The golf course at the Colorado National Golf Club is an 18-hole, public course that is situated just 20 minutes north of Denver. Jay Morrish designed the formerly known as Vista Ridge golf course with a traditional links-style layout. The course covers 7,676 yards of golf from its longest tees and plays to a par of 72. Rolling fairways lined with native grasses and large, undulating greens make the golf course interesting, while beautiful views of snow-topped mountains provide pleasant scenery. The course has many bunkers as well as water hazards. Colorado National Golf Club also features five sets of tee boxes for golfers to work on a number of different handicaps.

Great layout

First time playing here and it was great. The course was still coming out of winter, so conditions weren't tip-top, but overall very good. The layout was fantastic. No crazy holes with dumb features to mention. I play all over the west coast monthly, and this was one of my favorite public courses. Plenty of teeing options to best suit your level.

Great course

All around a great course. The carts have GPS. Sometimes the pace of play can get slow, but they do have marshalls on weekends. A mix of challenging and can be easy if you play. Multiple tee boxes. Overall a great course.

Early play

For mid April, the course was in good shape. The greens were running true and fast. The fairways still had dormant grass that should be grown in.

Great greens.

This is a shot selection course. Not every tee box requires a driver. Course is in great condition.

Missing features

No ball washers anywhere on the course nor on the carts. Tee marker colors are difficult to read. People working on bunkers in the middle of the fairway, not just off to the sides. Very unsettling during play.

But a good layout overall and interesting course with beautiful views of the mountains.

Didn’t play!

Made my reservation but was not told I couldn’t have my handicapped wife ride along until I got there… I had told them when I booked. Supposedly, it’s a corporate rule that no riders are allowed on weekends. I counted 13 empty carts that were not being used. Very rude front desk staff. I’ll not try again.

Prime Course

Great practice facility, fun layout, and great value. Greens seemed to still be recovering from the winter but the slower speed did not ruin the day. I would definitely come back and play here again.
