Great Early Season Day

Weather was great and the course was in decent shape for having just had the greens worked on. Early season golf for this altitude and had a great day, did not disappoint.

Get an actual starter!

Showed up for tee time and was told by an unfriendly man in a cart that I would have to go off the back 9. When I made the turn to go to the front 9 there were three groups waiting to tee off of hole #1. Decided to get a rain check for the second 9, which they gave me only when I requested. Professionalism is sorely lacking at this course.

Tough But Fair Challenge

Played this course for the first time two years ago and did not like it. Course conditions were poor, and I was not a fan of narrow fairways with OB and red stakes on either side of most fairways. Played it for the second time today, and I came away with a better appreciation for it. Conditions were still the same, but I focused more on shot placement and was rewarded. Only lost one ball in the protected marsh areas that you are not allowed to go in to. Driving range is still a disaster.....you must hit off mats that warped, torn and not level. Range balls are so old most are smooth with no dimples. DO NOT attempt to walk this course. Too hilly and long stretches between greens and next tee box.

Great place to spend the day

We have played this course numerous times. From the time we arrive till the time we left it was a great experience, The staff let us get an early start. There were only about 3 groups playing. The course was in great shape. We got to see wild life and some very scenic areas. What a great place to play. We will definitely be back before the closing on October 7th.
Thanks again for a great day.

A course worth playing

Mountain course at 8200'. Scenic views of Pike Peak. Course in amazing condition. Some blind shots and you better hit it straight down the middle. Even then, it could roll off the fairway. Fast greens, chip shots didn't hold and putts were quick. I wouldn't recommend trying to walk, you need to be a Billy goat on the back 9 especially. Loved the course and hope to play it again.

New management(?) is tired...

The idea that an 18-hole course exists in Woodland Park is pretty amazing, much appreciated. That said, how hard can it be run the place like an actual business instead of an unorganized startup? The cart paths are 'fun' because of the possibility of crashing a cart into one of the 3-foot deep ravines from rain wash. Some run-off mitigation would save the cart paths from further damage, and carts from becoming tired and abused. The black mold on the greens has begun to subside. How did it get a foothold in the first place (neglect)? At peak it was pretty disgusting and makes one wonder if they are bringing the stuff home. The course is fully bring-your-own beer (BYOB). The beer cart is atrociously unreliable and the rear axle appears about to fall off. Last time the driver was MIA and seen with the cart in the bushes (boyfriend? pot? sleeping?). This time, the drivers minor child was on board while the back 9 only was covered. By the time we made it to the back 9 the beer cart was parked back at the clubhouse. Finally, accepting feedback isn't an art form, there's a right way and wrong way. The right way: pay attention, grab a pen and paper and start writing. Repeat back a summary of what you heard from your notes. ASK what the customer's expectation is of the affected service. Indicate your notes will be delivered to the right person. Follow up! When someone complains to you they will definitely complain to their friends!

Mountain Course With Mountain Views

My wife and I played this course twice during the first week of September. We try to play every time we are in the Woodland Park area. The views of Pikes Peak and the surrounding mountains are amazing. This is a unique and challenging golf course. The greens are uniformly in great shape and fast. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Playing this course represents one of the highlights of our vacation.

Disc Golf Review

The disc golf courses off the main golfing course are excellent. WELL maintained!!!
Played the course on the traditional golf course as well. Pristine...
I lost a disc that I love. It was returned to the club house. Bre, an awesome employee
drove my disc back to me in the Springs. Unbelievable. I tried to tip her and she refused.
I wish I could remember one more gal's name that drove the refreshments because she was a
doll that Saturday the 1st of Sept. I haven't experienced this kind of hospitality in years. Thanks
a ton!

Picnic or a 4some?

Three ladies riding and two “support” dogs is more of a picnic than ever a foursome. Hard to believe the course allowed it. Dressed like a dirty hippie and brought the entourage. Pretty ridiculous but a beautiful course
