Decent golf course

I played Foothills Champion course for the first time. It is not particularly difficult but the greens are very inconsistent - mostly slow. Unlike several other courses during COVID, the bunkers were well maintained. I'd play the course again.

Challenging buy fair

Raccoon Creek is a very challenging golf course with lots of water to navigate. It is a course you want to play more than once or with someone that knows the layout. The greens are difficult with many undulations and varying speed.

This is a difficult course, but it well designed and fair.

Emeral Greens is a Gem

This is a great short course to practice short to mid irons and putting. The greens are very slow and undulating, so it takes a while to adjust to the speed. The pace of play (90 minutes) makes Emerald Greens a great outing when you don't have hours to play.

Among the best at their price level

Green Valley is worth the drive to get there. The course plays more difficult than the slope indicates and demands accuracy to keep the ball in play. Anywhere off the fairway and you're in trouble. The course is in great shape.

The staff is very friendly and the club amenities are better than most other Denver area clubs for comparable green fees.

great course even with plugged greens

This time of year Arrowhead offers a decent value. One of Colorado's most famous (and beautiful) courses, Arrowhead is especially appealing with the Fall/Early Winter rates. The downside of playing Arrowhead now is the greens have been plugged, so putting is bumpy.

Beautiful course and great value

My first visit to Deer Creek Golf Club was well worth the 35 minute travel time from Denver. The course is nicely maintained, plenty of challenging but fair holes, and a terrific value. I highly recommend Deer Creek for any level of player.

Requires strategy and execution

Unlike many of the public courses, Coal Creek actually demands careful shot selection and strong execution. This isn't a course to simply take out the driver on every par 4 and par 5. Club selection is critical and it pays big to keep the ball on the short grass. There is no intermediate rough at Coal Creek. Miss the fairway and you are in 2 or 3 inch rough!

Fun course, but think carefully about how you play each hole.

Take the cart

As a rule, I prefer walking 18 than using a cart. There are a few courses that don't lend themselves to walking - not because of the terrain or the length "tee to green," but because of the distances between one hole to the next. Plum Creek is one of these courses.

The fairways and greens are in good shape, but the tee boxes are pretty beat up. It is worth the specials they run, just expect to take a cart.

Beautiful course

Very nice layout and beautiful vistas. The greens were a bit rough in spots, not quite healed from aeration. The course is well maintained and the pace of play was decent for a Sunday.

Well worth the drive to Castle Rock.

Pathetic dog track

Eagle Trace is in terrible condition from tee to green. Don't bother playing this pathetic dog track!
