About

Type Public
Par 72
Length 7035 yards
Slope 136
Rating 72.9

West Woods Golf Club offers three public golf courses designed by Richard Phelps who has designed a great number of golf courses in Colorado. The three courses have nine holes each but they are combined to form 18-hole courses. The combination changes each day to keep the game interesting. The Sleeping Indian/Cottonwood course at West Woods Golf Club is 7,035 yards from its championship tees, playing to a par of 72. The facility's landscape features ten lakes that add to the beauty and challenge of each course since they create many water hazards. The greens are average-sized and very sloped.

After the snow!

Everyone stayed home! Had this great layout to myself. Would have helped my score to know the layout, but first time on the Indian and Cottonwood courses was a pleasure. Course was in great shape despite wet conditions due to weekend snow. And deep rough! Views were spectacular and grounds staff were very personable. Can you open up your pond to catch and release bass fishing?

Please don't play here--I want the course all to myself

This is a fabulous course of 27 holes. The best 18 are the Silo and the Cottonwood nines.

I really hesitated telling anyone about how great this course is, because I want to keep it all to myself.

Nice day at West Woods

Played Sleeping Indian 9 holes on what may be the last nice afternoon of the year. The course was in good shape, but the tee markers are ball washers have been removed for the winter. Three groups were backed up because of somewhat slow play by the group in front of us. It was 2:30 for 9 holes. Without delays, I can play 9 on this course in 1:30.

silo was a challenge

I've played Westwoods for many years. All the courses are challenging, with many risk rewards. The elevated tee boxes have great views of both the City and the mountains! With four sets of tee boxes, it doesn't matter if your a beginner or an expert you'll find a box for you. Staff was very friendly, and helpful. I've always had a great golf experience at Westwoods! I would recommend this course to anyone.

A Nice Treat with some Variety

This is a nice course with a good variety. The staff was quite friendly. The Sleeping Indian 9 is perhaps longer but the park-style is more forgiving. Going from #4 to #5 was less than clear on my 1st time. #6 is quite picturesque. The greens are trickier than they appear. Cottonwood requires more course strategy. #12 penalizes rightward misses. Winds from the west can add to the challenge. Enjoy this nice course. I look forward to trying the Silo 9.

A terrific golf facility

First time @ West Woods. Played Cottonwood/Silo. Several blind holes slowed us down. The Silo hole (#23) takes 3 good shots & #24 (cross water twice) is equally as challenging. Enjoyed it and will be back!

Good value for your dollar

Overall course condition is great right now (played 7/5.) Greens are well kept and roll true. Plenty of challenging holes but not too overpowering. Stay out of the rough, you will get frustrated if you play your ball from there all round. Friendly staff, great views!

Slow

So slow. It was a Saturday. But when we pulled up to the 10th tee to start the back 9, there were 4 groups of foursomes waiting. Four! 52 minutes later I was able to play. Pretty ridiculous. Greens were in fabulous shape.

Westwoods

I play about three rounds a week. The greens are phenomenal. The course is always challenging you have to use every club in your bag. Other courses do not look this nice. You cannot beat the course for the money

Nice course - Cottonwood / Silo

Played the Cottonwood / Silo courses. Both very nice. The Silo hole is too trick to be fun. And, way too difficult to walk. Otherwise the courses are walkable.

Great layout and condition

The course was in decent shape and greening up nicely for beginning of spring. Lots of fairway bunkers to catch your drive, nice combination of tight and forgiving fairways. Played the Indian and Cottonwood 9's so I can't comment on the Silo 9. Enjoyable course with a challenging layout that rewards accurate shots. Accuracy trumps aggressive approach from tee to green. Clubhouse probably due for some updating but nice atmosphere none the less.
