There are 3 nines and they are all good layouts. The rangers are friendly and they don't just ride around, they actually keep slow groups moving. Great pace of play even on the weekends. The greens are tough and fast. Got to play here.

I used to play this course a lot when it first opened, but I haven't played it in about 13 yrs. It has changed a lot over that time with many more homes surrounding it. There have been many recent reviews slamming the course for their greens. I can agree that they aren't pristine, but not the horrible surface others are reporting (I am a member at a local private club and familier with what pristine greens look like). The greens have some scars, but are growing back in. I would say that next summer they will be as good as any other area courses. One thing that may help is if people picked up their feet and fixed their ballmarks. The fairways are in great shape and the routing of the course is awesome. Interesting holes that have you use some strategic thinking. I'm glad I had the chance to play this course again and will be back soon. For the money, it can't be beat.

I really like Cherry Creek and have played it many times over the years. The only drawback is not a fault of the course, and that is slow play. The back tee boxes have some forced carries and unfortunately too many players overestimate their ability. If players were more realistic, things would speed along. We watched a threesome of young men in front of us each hit three balls into the junk before moving to the drop area. The course does have drop areas set-up on these holes, but many don't bother to use them.
