I showed up to play this course thinking it would be a flat and easy basically Par 3 with a couple Par 4s as is often the case for a Par 3 and NOT the case at all! It is a windy, interesting, fun little bugger with some tricky and long holes and loved it. I took a buddy out to learn golf here and not the best for that but, I will come back and try it again sometime!

Wonderful course, up and down, great holes, nice scenery, greens in great conditions and #9 going down the hill with a waterfall is amazing. If you see it posted on golfnow for 60-80 or even abit more on a busy day, jump on it.

Always a good course for me for the price point, conditions May 1 after a long winter were fine and just be aware. Front 9 was a bit rougher, back 9 was better, pace fast fast, nice chipping area, all good and another decent day at The meadows

Great course, fun, good conditions, views are fantastic BUT just be careful and do not pay too much for this executive course and show up expecting to have a full Par 72, 18 hole experience. Practice area is great, plentry of rest rooms on the course, not hard but not a Par 3 either. Greens can be challenging also. If you can get on there for 60 or lass, grab it for 18

Good course, I have been trying to play either one of the Revere courses for a while and a nice layout, clubhouse is great, carts are nice with monitors, 18th Concord is fantastic downhill and fun. Greens were just sanded w/o anything posted on the booking PLUS, beware that GolfNow/Revere seems to block booking hotdeals endlessly so, you may have to try a few times before you either get it, or the course wakes up and removes the hotdeal since they are booked up. I really wish more courses would actively manage their sheets so we do not waste time trying to book non-existent hotdeals.

This is a fun little Muni, well run, love the attitude of the people that work here and the folks playing here are pretty laid back and having fun. Not polished and basic but, fun place and when I can get our for not much $$$, makes it all that much more relaxed.

Love this course, isolated, quiet, great layout, conditions, price is never super high vs. courses closer to town that are very much overrated (Hello Bali Hai). Really nice practice area, I'll be back!

I have been hearing about and seeing this course listed for years usually $200-300 and t when I found it for $75 I had to give it a try. It is a good course for sure but, in March it was just right conditions for the price I paid but, I would never pay more than $100 for the level of noise from the airport planes, tourist helicopters and Las Vegas Blvd right there. I try and get on when it is summer conditions but, I would rather have a quiet course for $50 further from the strip and airport.

This is a simple 9 hole track that loops 2x for the round but, if you play the tips a couple of the holes are very hard. Odd holes are Par 4s, Even holes are Par 3s, fun little loop inside of the Marriot resort and they have the latest TM clubs to rent so, great chance to cram a round in when on a busy trip and try some new sticks

I had been hearing about this course for a while and assumed it was too high end for my $$$ until I started to see it on GolfNow. I played it 3 times this week and each time got a better and it is a fun course. The people are great, carts are nice, course is in fine shape, challenging but not killer and much better than other courses that are listed for the same price. Weekends and holidays will be more but, a weekday hotdeal is well worth it!

This is a fun course, very tough but not fancy and the clubhouse is good, carts are basic, practice area is fine and all but what you do want to travel here for is an interesting course, very challenging back nine, pace is pretty good and not expensive or pretentious.

Meadows is a good one for sure, normally not too much $$$ for a good place, course is very interesting and winds around with some very tricky holes in places but alternates with some easy ones to let you catch your breath.

This is a fun little course that takes you up and down the mountains and so, you likely need to play it more than once before you start to figure out the angles. It can get a bit slow on the weekends and lots of elk out there at times, keep your distance and they are not big dogs. It is fun, up and down, greens can get hard in the summer

I started to get the Raccoon pass 10+ years ago and this is the place where I got better after hacking for 3+ decades. Guys like Don Graham, Pait Tait and many other made this place fun to be at and it is for sure a good course and as this is a course rating, for the course alone it is a 4-5 for sure. But....in recent year, there seemed to be a lineup of old ornery guys(I am 59 so I can say this) working at the course. Some I have known for a while and they are great, others not so much and the latter have made the customer service there less than optimal at times. We were having a great round, then we ran into one of the angry ones and was about to quit on Raccoon (one of my guys who was there for the first time was about to leave at the turn) but, had a good chat with Don and my faith in this place is restored and I am sure he will help elevate the customer experience further. Suggestions

1) - If I book on GolfNow, make sure the desk folks know that if it is a regular booking (Not a hotdeal) that I likely will be using a pass. When my guest comes, don't make him pay full rack when he has told you already he will be a guest on a pass and politely tell him to wait until the passholder arrives to be sure. If the passholder does not show, by all means rack rate!

2) - You really do need water on the course to drink

3) - I like good rangers that keep the pace of play going! Much better than courses that do not manage pace at all but, just a bit more awareness of customer interactions would be good.

I/we will be back and I trust guys like Don to keep this place going forward.

This is a great course, lovely setting, replications of many great Jack holes all over the place and the facilities, service and people are all fantastic. The only thing that might be a challenge is the price which is a bit high but, if you are looking for good one to do w/o spending MANY hundreds on Wynn, others in the Vegas area, this is a great choice

BT service is great, people there are very friendly and if you have the annual pass, it is the best deal in town. Now on top of it, this is one of the more challenging and fun Par 3 I have ever played and up and down, crazy rolling greens but it always seems to move fast and if you do pay, $10 is a great deal. Try it out, good luck parring most of the holes

I have to admit that this was a "tourist round" that I booked as a Colorado Mt course, got a deal on GolfNow and was easier than other more famous course to get to. I ended up having a ball, fun course, up and down, interesting layout and there are often deals on Golfnow to avoid the rack rate which is too much. The greens could be tough, some of the hole tricky, scenery os c outstanding and the noise form I-70 nearby is not a big deal. Do play it if you have a chance.

Love Pole Creek and it is a fun course with a ton of variety to it. It was a nice day and even with the fires nearby, we could not sense the smoke but, there was a bit of a haze to things. We got a great deal on Labor Day so, even better but I would cap out the value for 18 here at about 60-70 max and after that, it becomes too much, even for a good Mt course.

I played this course 9 years ago and at the time, it was just recovering from havng to remove all the dead trees and such at the time but it was fun still. at this point, it is perfect. nice course, great conditions, greens were very nice, I expected the 2 fires nearby to be an issue but NO problems at all and you would not know they were happening. The prices here are good vs. the high priced places nearby that are only slightly better. Cool layout, back 9 is a roller coaster and fun so get ready to calculate your slope and distance at 8500 feet.

There have been a bunch of courses in the Denver area that show up on GolfNow I have been meaning to play and Ute was one of them. VERY happy to finally get out and play this fun course. It did not have a good start when the Pro SHop said I had a 4some when I only had 2 book and and had proof but, as always this is a problem between the course and GolfNow and tired of getting grief from courses for GolfNow issues, this in NOT my problem. After that, the rangers were great, loved the course, pace was good, very resort feeling to me and a nice Robert Trent Jones layout
