Ute Creek Golf Course
Ute Creek Golf Course blends parkland-style routing with Colorado’s native prairie landscape to offer an engaging 18-hole public layout. Featuring fast greens and well-positioned bunkers, this course provides a thoughtful test accessible to most skill levels amid open skies and subtle foothill views.
Course Overview
Ute Creek Golf Course presents a compelling challenge for golfers seeking a public venue that balances natural character with strategic design. Located in Longmont, Colorado, this 18-hole layout stretches just over 6,300 yards from the back tees and plays to a par of 71. The course’s terrain undulates modestly through native prairie grasses and pockets of mature trees, creating a varied landscape that tests shot-making and course management without overwhelming players of intermediate skill levels.
The overall style leans toward a parkland feel with a Colorado twist. Fairways are framed by native vegetation rather than manicured parklands, inviting a connection to the regional environment. Several holes incorporate well-placed bunkers guarding the approach and greens that consistently reward precision. The greens themselves are known to run fast and true, demanding a confident stroke and careful read to navigate their subtle contours.
Ute Creek’s setting situates golfers just outside the foothills, where open skies bring shifting winds that factor into club selection and shot shape. While not a mountainous destination, views toward the Rockies punctuate the round with routing that respects the natural landform. This setting combines openness with pockets of strategic challenge, making the course approachable yet engaging for players spanning a range of handicaps.
The pace of play can fluctuate, and some visitors have noted that tee times during busy periods call for patience. Maintenance efforts cover the essentials, with greens in generally good condition and fairway turf that reflects the semi-arid climate. The course’s public status makes it accessible, offering competitive rates and accommodating playstyles, whether walking or riding.
For those planning a visit, sturdy footwear is recommended given some uneven footing on the native terrain, and early morning rounds provide crisp air and minimal wind. The clubhouse facilities support golfers with standard amenities, including a pro shop and welcoming staff. Ute Creek Golf Course offers a straightforward but engaging golf experience set in the distinctive Colorado plains, rewarding thoughtful play and tactical decisions throughout each round.

I like this course and play it often. Staff is great! Prices like most golf are too high and the golf cart situation everywhere needs to be reexamined. I like having my own cart unless i am playing with family or friends. Should not have to be paired up with strangers. One guy i was paired with had a horrible attitude and bitched the whole time. I was stuck with him for 4 hours. That was garbage and not fair to me.

The course was a very good challenge due to extensive bunkering on the fairways and around the greens. Everything was enjoyable except I have to deduct a star for slow play. We actually finished in about 4 hours 35 minutes but it was behind a group that was two - three holes behind the group in front of them. Their round must have been about 4 hours 45 minutes. Amazingly we were passed by 5 marshals who never suggested to the group in front to try to keep up. In fact, twice as we were waiting to hit we asked the marshals if they could politely give a nudge and twice we were told the course was full in front when it obviously was not. Why have five marshals rotate during a round just for waving hello and talking about the weather?

Course is in good shape. They are infected with the 'covid' golf. As in, "There are so many people interested in golfing now we don't care." T times on weekends? Sure maybe after 2:00pm. Constant tournaments. The staff is clearly overwhelmed by men's club/tournament play. Don't recommend if you are working and don't have weekdays off.

Friendly staff. Great course.

It is late June 2025 and they just don't seem to care, still. The clubhouse people seem to be trying more, but the effort on the course is not great. They seem to do the bare minimum and nothing else. We played on Tuesday and had cups cut on Sunday, which affected play. Plenty of rain this year and the grass is still too sparse in too many areas. It is too bad since this course has one of the best designs and layouts in northern Colorado. Price is OK for a muni, but it is getting to where it needs to be cheaper if they are not going to try any harder. The staff is fine, but this is, again, the minimum.

Public course, pace of play was a factor, especially how beautiful it's been these was few weekends. The pro shop was kind and ready to assist upon arrival. We did have to get a new cart since they double booked the cart before we made it to the carts but was not problem, obviously took next in line. We just have to write our names down with cart numbers .the course was beautiful and we had a great time.

Tee time prices online don’t match what you pay for in-person. Very deceptive and poor customer service when I explained the rate I see online . I was unable to book online due to just playing as a single
