Playing Lakota in the Fall
I have played Lakota before (on my trips from Kansas City). The scenery is always spectacular and the course was in excellent condition. I especially enjoyed the fact that there were no deer flies on the back nine (a problem in the summer). My only mistake concerned a hazard in the middle of the fairway that was marked with yellow? tape, but when I stepped onto the gravel to pick up my ball my foot went ankle deep! Other than that the course is wonderful, please hurry up with the new clubhouse.
Western Colorado Treasure
Hadn't played the course in over a decade, and it has aged well. Wonderful conditions (both course and weather) for mid-November, plus a great tee time deal. Several tee options, and course layout provides multiple ways to play most holes. I won't wait another 10 years to play it again.
best golf course ever!!!
This golf course is best!!!!
5 and a half hours for a single person to play a round
Nice course, overall great value but went by myself and it took 5 and a half hours to play a round. Super slow and no etiquette players on that course.
Awesome day at Lakota Links
This was an outstanding day at Lakota Links. Outstanding scenery and a phenomenal course design.
The greens were in perfect shape and putted consistent and true.
My wife and I finished in just over 3 hours. We caught a 4-some on the back, but they let us play through.
The only downside was there were lots of grasshoppers everywhere, but there has been a lot of rain this year.
We will recommend to others and be back.
Fun course
Neat out of the way course that is worth going to. Course goes up the valley for the front nine, down for back nine. 17 fun holes and one that needs to be redone (18). Fairways and greens were in great shape. Lots of bowled fairways and greens. People at the course were friendly and appreciative that came to play the course. Course would not be walkable.
Great Course, no OB or hazard markers
The course was in great shape compared to how it was a couple years ago. I was a little disappointed there were no hazard or OB stakes. Just used our discretion.
Rain out
It rained all day so we had to get a pass to play another day. Unfortunately we are from Denver and couldn't get money back as we used Golf Pass.
Beautiful Course
This course was breathtaking and made you think or your next shot… absolutely loved it
Cheyenne Mountain Stay & Play Package
I have been playing Lakota Canyon since it first opened and generally speaking, I am a fan of other Jim Engh designed courses I've played in Colorado as well, but Lakota Canyon is special in my opinion.
I last played June 15, 2015 on the way back to Denver from Salt Lake City by myself and as usual, had a blast! My sons and I play Lakota Canyon together at least once a year and always look forward to the experience!
When one rates the condition of a golf course you have to keep in mind the location. Lakota Canyon is a mountain course that is played seasonally and subject to varying degrees of harsh Rocky Mountain winter conditions. I can only imagine the amount of work necessary in the spring to get it in playing condition and maintaining it throughout the season. Kudos to the course staff!!! That being said, it was in phenomenal shape in June.
I LOVE the way the course plays!
The clubhouse is another story. Those who have played Lakota Canyon before are familiar with the temporary clubhouse (trailer) that used to be located adjacent to the parking lot high above the course and with an absolutely gorgeous panoramic view of the course and especially Hole #18 .
"New" clubhouse plans have been in varrying stages of progress since I first started playing with nice architectural renderings and drawings posted on the 'old' clubhouse wall in the old trailer and with the common refrain from the pro shop staff, "Construction will start in the spring!" Same thing I heard year after year.
I'm not sure where they're currently at in the decision making process, but as far as I can tell, the "still" temporary pro-shop/clubhouse is at the present time located in what I believe is the "Community Center", SEVERAL BLOCKS from the parking lot you have to drive to AFTER paying at the "Community Center". The parking lot is still next to the #1 and #10 tee-boxes, practice putting green and driving range and where you park to pick up your golf cart. Not very convenient!
After making the 'turn', there's no clubhouse to go to for food or beverage. The only option is a 'pop machine' located next to the driving range south of the parking lot. Best bet is to bring food and beverage with you. A real bummer! Incidentally, I have never seen a 'Beverage Cart' and I don't believe they offer that service.
Whether the plan is to scrap the "NEW" clubhouse build and continue working out of the present remote location they're currently located at on a permanent basis , I am not sure. While recently playing in June, there was still no evidence of excavation and no indication that construction has been or will be started any time soon.
A good golf course needs to have a conveniently placed Pro-Shop/Clubhouse in my humble opinion. Perhaps they can move their current location a little further yet to the 7-Eleven at the bottom of the hill next to I-70. All kidding aside, I love your course, but come on, get that clubhouse built! Can you imagine eating in a nice clubhouse with breath-taking views of Lakota Canyon??? I have to believe that would bring in non-golfers as well.
If you're not going to build a (conveniently located) clubhouse, at least put the old trailer back. That was better by far than the current scenario.
The "clubhouse" aside, Lakota Canyon is a wonderful Rocky Mountain Golf Course! Try it, you'll be pleasantly pleased! And, don't forget extra golf balls and your picnic basket and cooler.
