Four Mile Ranch Golf Club

Four Mile ranch is a Jim Engh design about 2 hours south of Denver and 1 hour from Colorado Springs. It is very affordably priced (I have played 36 for $70) and worth the detour.
The club has a small clubhouse, so no restaurant. They do have some food and a beverage cart if that thing is important to you. They have a driving range and putting/chipping greens.
The course is bunkerless; however, the greens have a lot of contour. They are also quite large, so hitting the correct section is imperative. In some cases, like shorter holes, the greens are on top of a hill so accuracy is still needed or you need to have some powers of recovery. The layout also features plenty of blind holes, semi-blind shots, punch bowl greens and wide fairways. Like most courses with wide fairways, you will need to be on the correct side of the fairway to get a look at the green. There are a couple of holes with completely blind approaches like the par 5 6th and par 3 12th, but these also feature punchbowl greens. In the cases of many holes, the blindness will happen if you don't hit a proper drive on a par 4 or second on a par 5. Then you will have to search ahead to find the line.
The layout varies and there is a good mix of short/long half par holes. Above all, there is plenty of fun. Multiple plays are highly recommended as a replay is only the cost of a cart. The course is also quite walkable if you prefer to go that route.
There isn't a course like this, bunkerless, that I know of anywhere else. The routing, strategy to avoid blind shots and contoured greens make this a great play and good challenge. The routing goes through rock outcroppings and over them. Not many forced carries-I can only think of one on the par 3 7th, although if you play from the backs, there is one more par 4 drive that carries over a rock outcropping.
Over all, if you are about the golf and not what takes place outside of the course, then this is a great course. It does have amenities, but not the ones that are food service oriented (bar, restaurant, etc). What it has are some of the best green sites in the mountains and is a truly unique and fun experience.
I recommend and highly recommend 36. Great Value.

We always enjoy golfing at 4 Mile golf course. The staff is always friendly and helpful, the scenery is beautiful, and the course offers a challenge every time. My husband got a hole-in-one for the first time on Hole 7! You do need to bring all of your amenities, IE food and beverage, because there is absolutely nothing offered. I understand that there is a new owner who will hopefully improve the pro shop and offer food and drink.

The front 9 was in good shape. The Back 9 had more recent aeration but should be in good shape by the end of April. They were actively attending the back 9 greens so it wasnt really difficult. Would play again before end of April.

We had some slow golfers ahead but we always enjoy the course and the staff is consistently friendly and helpful.

This is a fun course. The greens really test your putt putt skills. The grass is just starting to green up. It is my number 1 course to play in late Fall, Winter and early Spring.

Always a nice course to play. Really coming around and greening up. Shame is it's still cart path only. Would be nice IF it were 90 degree run or just drive in the rough.

Although it was very dry and Gale-force winds, the layout and forgiveness of the course was wonderful. All washers were dry, no water available on the course. Rules say that you must be in collared shirts with no blue jeans, but they were forgiving all blue jeans. Can’t understand why they’re trying to make it that level. Cannot bring golf cart onto the parking lot, so you do have to carry your clubs to where the carts are stationed. Overall wonderful course to play

We love 4 Mile and play there as often as we can. It is our favorite course. Wish you had more carts though. Our friend we played with badly needed his own cart and almost did not get one!! But we certainly DO love the course and will be back soon.

Always a nice course to visit and play. It was cart path only so we got our exercise. Nice there are no bunkers to navigate. Love the blind shots that force you to trust your club and swing.
Heard there are new owners. They need a real clubhouse and restaurant.

It’s the first time I have played golf in the Mountains of Colorado on Dec. 30. It started a little breezy and chilly, but we were soon dropping layers. The course is in amazing condition for this time of year. Only once in 18 holes did I hit into a patch of snow. Not so impossible that I couldn’t hit out. I love the challenge of this course.

My wife thinks there is too much walking when you can drive in the fairways. It was cart path only and she hated it.
