Overall course (what we were able to see) was great with beautiful elevated views. Went up here on buddies trip along with the neighboring TreeTops (go here).

Upon arrival I was impressed with carts lined up which include a yardage book, water bottle, and towel to wipe off your clubs. The first few holes went by great with beautiful views - most holes here change elevation as you progress through the hole.

The problem like with most courses was pace of play. I dont complain much when i am at a local muni or course by my house but when paying top dollar to play one of the best course i expect better - the neighboring TreeTops had made sure we were keeping pace multiple times within our round. At the Tribute we got through the first 9 holes in about 3 hours (wasnt too upset as it is weekend up north). It took us an additional 1 hr 45 minutes to play the next 3 holes. We were waiting with the 4 some in front of us on each of these holes for the 4 some in front of them to tee off. I called into the club house and asked what was going on and to have a ranger sent out - they responded "there is a ranger on the course - he should be there eventually". Upon seeing the ranger, he said it was a busy day and he couldnt ask people to speed up. We decided to quit after 12. As we were driving back to the club house holes 13-16 were packed. On one hole there was 6 senior citizens playing together. The next hole had the two carts in the middle of the fairway with all four members about 200 yards away in the woods fishing for balls. There was not one person on 17 and 18. Obviously it had gotten plugged up and could have easily been prevented by having a couple groups speed up or skip a hole. Upon leaving i told the person working in the clubhouse with him letting me know "well there is a ranger out there, i dont know what you want me to do".

As i said beautiful course but for paying the same price as TreeTops, I would go with the neighbor who offer much better accommodations and customer service from club house to finishing 18.

Not adding much that already hasnt been said - course was in great shape. Truly feels like an up north golf course. Only negative is that on 6 or 7 of the holes its cart path only which can cause for quite the trek depending on your tee shot. Worth every penny and should be played.

What a terrible day (going to be somewhat of a rant but at the same time completely fair)...

Show up to the course about an hour early to hit Cherry Creek's range and practice facility (hands down one of the best in the area) - multiple chipping & putting greens with real rough and sand bunkers. Our tee time is at about 1:00 and we get to the tee box at about 12:30ish to check in (twosome). Ranger was older gentleman and awesome - lets us go out as the foursome hadn't shown up who was supposed to go. Group in front of us is hacking it up/drinking/12 practice swings per hack and has about a 2-3 hole gap in front of them - we are waiting on every tee box with them as they tee off and they will not let us pass (ranger drove by 5-6x and watches us then moves on), so we ask if we can skip a hole then come back and obviously are told no by the ranger. Fast forward to 4:30 (4 hours) we are finally making the turn. It starts to thunderstorm so we go to get our raincheck for 9 holes - and they give you a cash credit for the holes you have left which in our case is 8 (i dont see how i am going to play 8 holes? but besides the point) I am then told since we used group golfer we can call them and they can deal with it - mind you the whole time getting snarky attitude b/c "we used groupgolfer". Now groupgolfer says they are the only course like this and every other course just cuts you a raincheck but they have to contact Cherry Creek now so that Cherry Creek can now get me the rain check. Just overall poor attitude by the staff acting like it is a private track when in reality it is public.

FYI if you do play - get sandwich on the turn they made to order.

Rant over :)

Round was overall good. Few of the greens got beat up from harsh winter as most courses have. Only gripe was there was fivesome in front of us which made it for long day.

Great course - i think they charge too much as standard rates

Maintained nicely - some roughs are a little unfair as they let them grow a good two feet deep when it is clearly ment to be rough not heather

Not bad for the price / glorified driving range in my opinion / everything pretty straight and short.

Good links course / if your on the fairway your pretty well off
