Jared Hi
Not much of a review guy. Generally not worth my time. But here I just felt the need. I played Indian Peaks this past Saturday. I have to say the course, club house were fantastic so it gets a 3 still. Kuddos to the maintenance crew and club house staff. My issue is purely with the ranger working the morning shift. To frame the story a bit I ready reviews of the course the night before snd there were a lot of complaints regarding how pushy the rangers were. I sort of thought typical folk complaining while they probably were slow. Fast forward to our round Saturday. We approached the 9th tee box and teed off. The golf cart at the time said 5 behind pace. The group ahead was getting to ten tee while we were hitting our tee shots on 9. It was kind of a give and take onnthe front. Some holes we did wait some holes the gap widened to this. The ranger approaches us and immediately says I need your help picking up the pace. We were sort of taken a back as the group behind had not been waiting on us at all and we stated that. The ranger immediately got angry to where that's where things got sort of comical. We were a foursome and playing in a tournament and he goes "this is the problem guys, you hit 4 or 5 balls off the tee!" Well yeah we did because there were 4 golfers and one golfer took a mulligan. Ranger storms off and then decides to come back to get a final word in which was so unnecessary. By the time we got to ten tee we had to wait as its a drivable par 4. We ended up finishing at 4 hours and 12 minutes which is well ahead of their designated pace. Again the course itself and the pro shop staff were great. I am a big pace of play guy as I play 2 to 3 tines a week but this approach is not encouraging. Instead maybe approach us and say "hey guys not bad let's ensure we keep up thr good pace"

One of the more underrated course experiences I've had since moving to Colorado seven years ago. First time playing and the staff was friendly, the pace was fast and the course made you think. Really hope to be able to book more tee times here in the future.

Always solid conditions and greens. Also - if they're offering the Cuban sandwich, don't miss out!

Stunning golf course with extremely well kept greens and fairways - very friendly staff and a series of tees to chose from. Probably the best course I have played in some time.

Had one of the worst delays here I’ve seen. They had 50 degree weather and still delayed over hour and half. Never seen so many people so upset. Grounds crew needs to get their stuff together…
