Review
“A category of "mountain course" that I think I could play over and over again--it sits at the base on the Rocky Mountains, with most holes playing fairly flat. So you get the beauty and drama of mountain vistas, without feeling like you're falling off of the mountain. The Nicklaus design is really good, with a great variety of holes, and certainly a number of holes that give you great options (in general, I hit 3W off of most tees instead of driver--only becuase my driver was lousy that day but the altitude allows for 3 W to carry further than at sea level). Two standout holes for me include #5, a horseshoe shaped hole that you could go with 7 iron or driver off of the tee--the hole is potentially drivable taking the direct line, or you could play a short iron followed by a wedge. #7 has perhaps the most elevation change of any, with a drive hit off of a high bluff, but positioning of the drive is critical in order to make the very challenging second shot (over a long native area and into the prevailing wind) as manageable as possible. It's not impossible, but I think it merits its #1 hdcp rating. Aesthetics are top notch. Conditioning is above average. You will not be disappointed at Aspen Glen!"
