I don’t review too many courses, but I wanted to hopefully spare some people from throwing money away on this dog track. It was one of the worst rounds of my life and I’ve played all over the world. The course is a convoluted mess. It was in poor condition, there was a mix of locals and ornery residents and a few tourists. Driving around trying to find the holes was a nightmare. Dinky golf shop, decent front desk guy, but when i lost my Scotty Cameron head cover, they weren’t helpful at all about - i don’t know - keeping an eye out for it maybe? No one seems to repair ball marks, part of the course is literally washed out and under water. Just a mess.

We heard good things about this track, but we got there and were immediately disappointed. It was pretty rough, the driving range was a joke, the course was in terrible condition -- the greens didn't seem like they were tended to in weeks. There was construction all over the place. Someone cut in front of us on the back 9 and the pace of play was erratic. For the money, this was not worth it and considering the drive from Co Springs, would never play again.

4 Mile Ranch is not that far from Colorado Springs and is worth the drive. There are literally no facilities (snack bar, pro shop) but the track is really cool and difficult. There are many blind shots, lots of up and down -- undulating fairways and the greens are crazy with huge swales and mounds right on the putting surface. It was a whole lot of fun, the staff are extremely friendly and the rates are fair. We saw the beer cart girl only once and they really don't have any facilities yet, but I guess they are selling houses around the course and then maybe they'll put something more permanent in... we will definitely play there again!

This track is awkward at best. You find yourself hitting to a spot on nearly every hole, so that you are limited on what you can do off the tee. I don't like that -- I like choices -- risk/reward options, etc. There are WAY too many bunkers. The greens were in decent shape, but every green had more than one hole in it which I have never seen before. The course was in OK shape as this is still off-season for Colorado Springs. The staff is really friendly. No beer cart girl anywhere on the course. At $26 for 18 riding -- it was a great deal, but I doubt I'd play this course anytime soon.
