Trinidad golf course is the best 9 hole golf course I have played in the 57 years I have been playing golf. Fairways are excellent and mowed close. Rough is thick and verdant but not overly high. Greens are fast smooth and in outstanding condition. Greens are sloped and fast so you had better have your A game to score well. Course condition is superior compared to all public and private courses. You can go low on this course if you bomb the ball off the tees or have a smooth pure putting stroke. Still snow in the Sangre del Cristo mountain peaks in late June, Staff is very friendly.

Trinidad is a real gem.Very scenic with mountain range views. Fairways are very lush and green. Most greens are sloped front to back, smooth, and quite fast. Putts roll true. With some pin positions, your putts are either in or gone. Bombers can reach most of the par fives in two. Recently adding a driving range with "hit and retrieve your own used golf balls". Friendly staff. Uncrowded early in week. Best 9 hole course in surrounding area.

Third time playing Hidden Falls in the winter. Fairways were dormant and tight, but greens were in excellent condition. Green speed is moderate with undulating slopes and contours. No sand traps but lots of water hazards on back nine. Pace of play was good with very little waiting. Will definitely play again through Golf Now.

Crystal Falls is a very mountainous course with spectacular vistas. Two par threes have a teebox to green drop of 80 to 100 feet. All the greens were fast with diabolical breaks. Putting requires a delicate touch with an excellent ability to read the huge breaks on the large sloping greens. Fairways had already turned brown due to the winter but the heavily wooded hilly course was still beautiful. Lots of water hazards with many scenic waterfalls and a meandering creek that often comes into play. I definitely will come back (with a digital camera) to play this course again several times even though its a 35 mile drive from my house.

Course was rather muddy after recent rains requiring lift and clean after most every shot. Greens and tees in excellent condition. Lots of subtle breaks made putting a challenge. Scenic course with good elevation change on back nine. Great value for the money as I only paid $16 inc cart.

Tough course as I shot 85 from blue tees with a 12 handicap. Better have your A game in shape to play this challenging course.

Outstanding course. Smooth greens. Manicured fairways. No weeds in traps. Very scenic. Carts paths are like taking a very hilly nature trail. Missed a hole in one on #6 by 14". Shot a 79 from senior tees.
