Full disclosure, I am a member here. This course is one of the best I've played and I have lived and golfed around the world. The setting is amazing. It's in the Roaring Fork Valley, surrounded by red mountains and every hole has this dramatic back drop. The course is always in great shape, the greens are fast and true. In late summer they get a little hard and the challenge changes, with the harder greens when your drives get plenty of roll to leave shorter approach shots. So it evens out with playing early in softer conditions. Practice facilities are excellent, big putting green, grass practice tees and a chipping area with a bunker. The pro shop is well stocked, the pros Chad and Nathan are great guys, offer advice and very informative about the course. Chad is the current Colorado PGA champion. The front 9 holes are parkland style, they have a feel of links golf (I've played in the UK), fairways with long fescue if you go way off line. Fairways are pretty generous though. There is water in play on 5 holes and the river runs alongside the other 4. Bunkers have decent sand levels and well maintained. The back 9 starts with 10 and 11 being alongside the cliffs. These really do feel links style with rolling fairways and greens that will require well placed tee shots. Then over the road to 12-14. all 3 are great holes but offer you a chance to score well if you can get a decent drive. on 14 take a moment to take in the scenery. The backdrop is of Mount Sopris, which in spring and early summer will have snow on it. It makes for a stunning photo. Then the world changes. 15-18 are in the canyon. A long cart drive (carts are essential here) takes you up a couple of hundred feet and the golf is different. 15 needs a tee shot over a ravine, then typically you have a long shot to a raised green. 16 is a par 3, anything left is gone, down a 30ft drop. 17 is really fun, a panoramic tee, if you can hit 250 yards then it will fly 280 and you'll have a 60 yard shot over another ravine. If you are shorter then you have to avoid bunkers and have a 160 carry . But the gem is 18. downhill fairway, you get an ego boost of 280-300 yard drives. then the dilemma of going for the green (200 yard carry) or going straight across the ravine, a130 yard carry, which means your third shot is about 60-80 yards. The green is protected by a bunker. It's just such a thinking player's hole. Once you're done, it's a fun drive back down the canyon to the 19th. The grill and clubhouse has great food and I've enjoyed just sitting at the bar. I recommend the steak sandwich, the chicken burger, the cheeseburger, heck choose anything its good. Most important get the truffle fries which are amazing. I've seen some comments about slow play. If you play weekend mornings or holidays then it might get backed up. I have seen marshals on many occasions. The carts are tracked, have great GPS and I think that helps monitor everything. You can see where other carts are ahead of you on the same hole. Don't hesitate to try this place out. save time for a beer and food afterwards too. You really will love it

I had a lot of fun on this golf course through the canyons, with many golf challenges and a breathtaking view. Overall the maintenance is perfect, and the staff very friendly. Enjoy ⛳️⛳️

Stopped at the grill and had a wedge salad with a piece of salmon, it was very good and it was not busy. The service was great. It goes without saying, the course is just awesome to play.

Awesome track! Love the layout, challenging but very playable. Gorgeous views, especially on the back nice. Great practice range. Overall just an awesome time and we will for sure be back. Our cart died on 16 and they came quick to the rescue.

Fairly tough course, beautiful scenery! Wish the greens were in a little better shape but we enjoy playing the course. The back 9 are in canyons so lots of up and down, very adventurous and fun!
