Course Overview
West Woods Golf Club offers a well-maintained, approachable golf experience just outside Denver in Arvada, Colorado. Featuring 27 holes divided into three distinct nine-hole courses—Silo, Creeks, and Woods—this public facility balances challenging terrain with inviting fairways that cater to a broad range of players. The layout reflects a blend of parkland and wooded elements, with tree-lined fairways and water features creating pockets of strategic interest without overwhelming less experienced golfers. Each nine unfolds with subtle variations in elevation and natural hazards, encouraging thoughtful shot placement while allowing for an enjoyable pace of play.
The course conditioning earns consistent praise, notably for its lush fairways and healthy greens, although some recent feedback highlights opportunities for improvement in bunker maintenance and green speeds. Players moving through West Woods will find several holes that reward precision, particularly on the Silo course, where the striking views from the putting greens provide a brief moment to absorb the surrounding foothills before continuing the round.
Amenities include a clubhouse with a pro shop staffed by knowledgeable professionals, rental clubs, and a dining facility. While carts are available on request, walking is encouraged, especially during favorable weather, with well-kept cart paths and manageable terrain supporting those who prefer a traditional golf trek. The course’s proximity to Denver makes it a convenient choice for both locals and visitors seeking a quality round without the crowds of more prominent destinations.
West Woods Golf Club positions itself as a venue for all skill levels, from beginners looking for an approachable layout to more experienced players searching for subtle challenges. The staff’s emphasis on pace of play and customer service fosters an inviting environment where the focus remains on enjoying the round. Planning a visit during off-peak hours can enhance the experience, as the course maintains a steady rhythm that keeps rounds moving smoothly throughout the day. Overall, West Woods delivers a solid golf outing with varied holes, scenic Colorado foothills, and practical amenities suited for a relaxed yet engaging day on the links.
Course Highlights
The course’s three distinct nine-hole layouts showcase a mixture of wooded corridors and open fairways, each demanding strategic navigation around well-placed bunkers and water hazards.

Cottonwood was in good shape. Silo’s greens still had punch marks, apparently left over from April according to staff. Was charged full adult price plus cart for my 6 year old because they don’t allow spectators under 7. Solid course rule to enforce. They don’t enforce pace of play, as I had to wait 10-15 minutes between each shot and I was playing with a 9 year old who was walking.(he also had to wait 15-20 between each shot) I did speak with one ranger who was very pleasant, other than that it was an experience I would like to forget. 6800 from the tips and can only hit a driver off 5 or 6 holes. Greens run fast and true. An easy course to score on.

One thing that really stood out was how well they managed the course and held everyone accountable for pace of play. It made for an enjoyable, smooth round without unnecessary delays. The course itself was in excellent condition, and it’s clear the team works hard to keep everything running efficiently. The golf pro was very helpful and professional, and the pro shop staff was very friendly. Although the Silo hole is my nemesis, I love the view from the putting green!

Too expensive for what it is, but could be great if the management would change the following things: - replace the sand with nice sand, it’s trash and it’s embarrassing. - stop putting the pins in the middle of a ridge or on the worst slope, spend time making the greens faster if you want it to be harder/better. It feels like the greens keeper got in a fight with his girlfriend before work and wants to take it out on everyone else. - put the ball washers back on the course, seriously what course doesn’t have this?? Really the carts should have the ball/club washer with a cooler on the other side. - get carts with gps and range finders, this is a standard now, get with the times. - the restaurant needs to stop their stupid policy of opening drinks before you go out on the course. They tell you it’s some liquor law but they’re the only course in the state that does this. Want a flat, warm beer by hole 3, this is the place for you. - restaurant has had the same menu since I worked there in 2012. There are 4-5 restaurant managers for some inexplicable reason, you think they’d provide some input on the menu. If you want to charge $105/round, fine, but get it together and make your course worth it, it’s so close to being the amazing course it should be. I grew up on the course, still live in the neighborhood, had my first job at west woods, have played it more than 100 times over the last 20 years. I used to consider it my home course; now I drive further away to play Legacy Ridge, Indian Peaks, Colorado National, or Fossil Trace because they’re just better value for the money.

Came in from New England. Brought my 80+ yr old father and my two 20+ yr old sons. Staff was very helpful, set us all up with club rentals. Course was in great shape with terrific views. Afterwards, Bobby Q went above and beyond in helping with a special request for my father. The starter was terrific, and then another employee out on the course helped with a group photo and was a complete gentleman. Highly recommended. Not far from Denver.

Course is beautiful. However they charged us $40 a person for 9 holes, greens were getting aerated top dressed with sand. (same price we pay when we play there in peak season) Also bathrooms were closed on the course and no one informed us about that so we went 9 holes with no accessible bathroom.
