About

Holes 9
Type Public
Par 36
Length 3564 yards
Slope 131
Rating 35.7

Pole Creek Golf Club is a public 27-hole golf facility in Tabernash, the only one of its kind in Grand County. The holes are divided into three par-36, nine-hole courses, which can be played in different 18-hole combinations. You'll get a different set of challenges on each course but they each provide a classic round of Colorado mountain golf. On no other nine is this more apparent than the dramatic Ridge Course. As its name would imply, the layout features several dramatic ups and downs. Accuracy is key and having a good strategy is equally important. Golfers will also have to contend with tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers along the greens, not to mention the occasional water hazard. The other two nines, the Meadow and the Ranch, are more mellow and approachable.

Easier The Second Time Around

If playing Pole Creek, you should try to play the Ranch/Ridge nines. Ridge is the best, followed by the Ranch.

Since we were familiar with the course, holes 1 & 3 were much easier to play. The Ranch is a nice course, flat except for holes 1 & 8.

I do not like the small GPS screen on the left pole of the cart. Hard to see with the glare and the small screen. Not sure the yardages were correct either.

If in the Fraser/Granby area - this is the place to play your golf.

Decent Course. Ranch & Ridge Are Better Nines

Pole Creek has 3 nines. The Ridge is the best, followed by the Ranch, then the Meadows.

Pole Creek has a nice a clubhouse and views are beautiful. The Meadows is a decent nine holes and a little tigher than the other two nines.

It had two gimmicky holes. Hole 5 woth a split fairway with a creek in-between, with high bushes. Not a visually pleasant hole. Hole 7 is a double dogleg left. When you stand on the 6th tee, the 7th green is at 4 o'clock. When you stand on the 7th tee, you're not sure where to hit the ball.

The GPS system is mounted on the left pole of the cart. Hard to see with the glare and a very small screen. I thought the yardages were not always correct and when you pointed to a spot to get the yardage, the remining yardage would not even point to the green.

We payed $111 to play the Meadows/Ranch on a Friday. On the holiday, we played Ranch/Ridge for $97. The prcing seemed strange.

Some of the Most Scenic Holes You Will Play

If you are in the Fraser/Granby area, this is the course to play. Pole Creek has 3 nines. Ridge is the best, followed by the Ranch and then the Meadows.

This nine has some of the most scenic holes you will ever play. You do have two uphill holes to get you to the higher elevations. 1 and 3. Hole 8 is a blind shot but you are at the highest point of the course - 8,812 feet above see level.

This nine is a must play.

Nice Course, The 2nd Best Nine at Pole Creek

Ranch ninie is the second best nine of the three. Relatively flat, except for holes 1 & 8. It is pretty course with the mountains in the background. Love the bunkering of all the Pole Creek courses, nicely edged. The par 3, 2nd hole is a great par 3.

Playing the course for the first time, holes 1 & 3 are difficult. Especially, since the GPS system was not working. Hole 1 is an uphill par 5, double dogleg to the right. Not sure where to hit your 2nd shot.

Hole 3 is a 90-degree dogleg left, that is uphill. You cannot see the fairway going up towards the green, They tell you to aim at the restroom. Visually, a tough hole.

3 World Class Nine Hole Courses

Pole Creek Golf Course is a must if you find yourself in the area. The greens are perfection and all 27 holes include some incredible views of snow covered peaks. Very helpful staff and the food from the Bistro is affordable and delicious. This course is worth every penny and shines in an area full of great mountain courses.

A Mountain Gem

We played the Meadows and Ridge nines, and cannot wait to return to check the Ranch nine holes. The course was in great shape and well manicured for springtime.

The entire staff was super friendly and hospitable, and the meal afterward in Bistro 28 was fabulous!

We will be back!

Great Mountain Course

2:45, using a cart, was truly nice. Intermittent rain did not inhibit play at all. It can be brutal to play from the woods, requiring concentration to stay in play. Greens were slow, but consistent and birdieable. Meadow hole 7 continues to beat up me; I’ll be back often to try again.

Good early season round

We were pleasantly surprised to see Pole Creek offered as a hot deal, it was too hard to pass up. We found out that the course had just opened ~a week ago. The folks were super friendly. They did tell us that given the rate, the 9s were set - Meadows & Ranch. Still, all 3 are good. The fairways were in excellent condition. The greens didn't suffer from the winter ice. Nice! They were still healing a bit from aeration. There is one hole - #6 on Ranch where Garmin GPS indicates there is more room before the water...check it carefully before teeing off. The day turned out to be stellar. We enjoyed ourselves. We enjoyed a dinner at the restaurant afterwards. Thanks!

Pro shop

I’ve played this course several times, the weather turned inclement to heavy winds and rain. We went to pro shop to ask if they would offer a rain check since we only played 5 holes. We were told they don’t make any profit from golf now and we could either wait it out or leave and contact golf now. For a course of this magnitude I was a bit taken back and disappointed by the gentlemen’s answer. Not sure if I would spend my money again there.
