I drive 48 miles JUST to play here. THE ABSOLUTE "BEST" deal is "GRILL NITE" Wednesday pm w/music, BUT get there 3pm or so....or else IT IS SUPER SLOW PLAY, all walking.
GRILL NITE/summer only w/music... IS $22, includes meal w/salads, fruit and choice of 5 entree', brat/burger/etc. AND token for driving RANGE, 80 BALLS, -+. + nine holes. The beers on tap, $4-5, MIKE and ANDREA serving them up, don't be in a hurry, this is a quaint, family owned place...SOAK IT UP!

The course is shot a maker's course-- woods, water and longest is 200 yds. No bugs/mosquitos, they spray WEEKLY. Great place for just a beer. IF the 1000's of techies at nearby IBM, etc. ever discover this GEM....it will be ruined or overrun. Come to enjoy the breeze (?) and ambiance and Haystack "Huerfano" Mtn, 3/4 mile north and west of holes #1 and #2.
The drive from my home in Aurora is worth every mile and gallon. I have been golfing for 15 years, and at 69 this course is always a challenge, but have parred every hole, but NOT in one outing, it is that difficult....FOR ME...but so enjoyable 1.5-2 hrs.
IF it is busy your first time, walk it and see and just PRACTISE on the driving range, slow play and beginners can be prevalent, as I never play weekends here. The OWNER is one special LADY, she makes some of the salad on GRILL/GOLF nite!

Freshly mowed, and fairways were moist, green and in process of being aerated. Greens were in mint condition--paradise for
back spin artists.
Found par 3's with water, especially challenging, i.e. many balls wet and disappeared, played longer than expected.
GOLD COURSE can be walked, but cart made play and finding shade essential. For our first time, only 2 pars but mostly forgiving, wide fairways--while shot making could be improved.
Club house was expansive, 19th hole inviting for a drink and a pause. The "views" of front range and mountains on back nine can only be experienced, not readily described....awesome!
