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

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.

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?

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.

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.

Played at 7:40 on May 18 and made it around in 4hr 15min even with 3 of us walking! Pace of play was great and conditions were good. Greens were so FAST which made the round even more interesting. And the staff is always friendly. Highly recommend

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.
