Review
“Play this course if you can! It's a great example of an Arnold Palmer course with dramatic routing (4 semi blind tee shots), huge elevation changes, bunkers strategically placed but not over-used. All 4 par 3's are memorable for their landscaping and challenge. 6 sets of tee boxes for better players (novices would not enjoy this course). Native flowers (Indian paintbrush and Fringed sage) + wheatgrass on many holes. Very important to be on the correct side of any ridges, spines, or other green features."

“A beautiful Palmer design located in the Denver foothills. This course is a bit funky but very fun with interesting holes / shot options throughout the routing. Tight fairways with receptive greens, recovery options are limited due to the heavy native grasses. Probably one of the most difficult courses to play the first time since the natural shape of the holes is not known until you hit your shot. A beautiful / natural setting with views of the Rockies, and lots of wildlife on the course. This course is walkable but there are several holes that you wish you had a cart to haul you up the hill. Fun but tough, bring extra balls especially if the wind is up."
