Reviews of Fossil Trace Golf Club

Colin Cushing

Fantastic course! Must play if you're near Denver. All holes were interesting and with five par-5s and five par-3s you get plenty of scoring opportunities. #1 is a good indication of what's to come -- downhill par-5 with a chimney incinerator in the fairway. Signature hole is #12, a par-5 with a huge rock wall on the left and 3 large boulder/rock mounds in the fairway about 100 yards from the green. Several fossils are displayed beside the green. Course was in great shape, greens rolling fast. Staff is fantastic, GPS carts, grass range. I give it all the thumbs up and can't wait to return!

Zachary Pepin

Absolutely wonderful course. Greens are in great shape and very challenging. Course was well maintained and had a lot of sand and hills making it very interesting golf.

Paul Rhoades

Easily the nicest course I’ve ever played. A lot of challenging holes but playable for most weekend golfers. The views are stunning so even a bad round is enjoyable. I rented clubs and was given the new Taylor made stealth irons and sim driver / woods. It was well worth the experience. I recommend getting a cart to keep up with pace of play

Michael Mitchell

We are from Michigan and visiting family here and they took us to Fossil Trace. Just a great golf experience overall. Tremendous views, course was in impeccable shape and the staff was very courteous. We stayed and ate afterwards and the food was delicious, highly recommend their version of the cheesesteak.

Ralph Fisher

Amazing course. I’d play this over just about any course in the area. Fun, strategy filled holes with extremely well kept greens. Friendly staff.

Colan Scheidenhelm

Great golf course, nice facilities, the catering is fantastic, and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommend!

David Cole

This is the most challenging, well kept and beautiful course I've ever played on. We only had time to play the back nine, but look forward to returning and playing the full course. 10/10 would recommend. Fossil Trace Golf Club is located in the historic city of Golden, CO just minutes from downtown Denver. The course is a premier destination for golf, nestled adjacent to the foothills of the Rocky Mountain Front Range, where you will enjoy a unique golf course experience that is truly one of a kind. The golf course opened in July 2003, approximately 64 million years after the first dinosaurs walked. The property is well known for its historical significance, and the award-winning golf course continues to attract golfers from around the world. Fossil Trace guests are treated to a golf experience like no other, featuring gorgeous views, unparalleled course conditions, undulating greens, and a unique character-laden layout. Players have come to appreciate the variety and volume of signature holes, both short and long, and a mountain-course feel in an urban setting.

Calvin Short

This is a must-play course for any golfer visiting the Denver area. The layout, course conditions, and staff are all top shelf. Our group visits Denver every year in August and Fossil Trace is always our final round of the trip. UPDATE 8/7/22: Staff in the pro shop, one particular older gentleman, was bad-mouthing golfers over the fact that one player in two different groups were unable to play. This gentleman was calling our group idiots, jerks, and other things, because of this issue (he didn't realize I was close enough to hear the trash talk he was spouting). In our group 10 players, down to 9 due to injury (the one player hurt his back and could not play). Not sure of the group size or what the issue was with the other group. In any case, you should never bad-mouth respectable, loyal clients. We've been making Fossil Trace a vacation must-play course for over 8 years. You would think that kind of loyalty would be rewarded, not chided so rudely.

Colin Parish

Beautiful golf course with a fantastic staff. Plenty of camera opportunities. I would recommend staying out of the bunkers. They can ruin a scorecard but good scores are possible, if you avoid them. Many risk vs reward holes.

Eric Schurr

This place is a lot of fun! It has some really memorable holes and is in very good shape for a public course. The outside guys were really nice (the inside bartender was a crotchety old guy who was rude to my wife). Be prepared for some tough holes! When I come back to Denver I will pay it again.

Gregory Eriksen

Course in very good shape and pace of play was excellent. 4hrs. 10 min. Greens nice and fast!

James “Bill” Bolton

What a great course! Staff was helpful and course was awesome! Worth playing if you get the chance!

Joe Scalmanini

This is a beautiful course visually. Usually very nicely maintained. I am a local metro area golfer and have played many courses in the metro area. I I wish fossil trace would do a few things better however. They don’t sell any smaller buckets than 60 balls for $8. I think it’s kind of a lame thing they do to make more money and I hope they read this review. How bout offering smaller warm up buckets? Another thing to be aware of is that their chipping area green is quite shaggy. I assume they do this as a maintenance trick but it does not reflect chipping onto a real green whatsoever. Hard to really practice well on that green but the view is sweet.

Zack Leiberick

My favorite golf course in Colorado! Every hole is stunning and the staff is great. Don’t miss an opportunity to play here

Annette Gutzwiller

Course was in great condition, staff was super friendly and helpful! Worth the price!

aaron 81006

This place IS beautiful. The proshop and starters were nice and polite. I can't say the same for the restaurant. I was there with friend who was in a tournament so my daughter and I hit the driving range and had a few drinks. After their round was over we were all on the patio having drinks and waiting for the awards. A man from the restaurant came out and told us "they had reservations" and wanted us to leave. I guess the golfers aren't that important in the restaurant. I've never been treated like that at a golf course. Oh well. Maybe next time I'll pass on the food and drinks.

Jacob Wrzosek

Very pretty course however they’ve doubled their prices recently. If I’m paying $100+ on one game of golf I expect the Martials to enforce pace of play. We had several people backed right up into eachother the entire 18 and never saw any change.

Luke Lyddon

AMAZING COURSE. Amazing views, amazing greens, just an amazing time. The greens are quick but true, each hole presents a new and fun challenge and is fair to a decent golfer (I shot an 88 both times I played here). It’s a MUST PLAY. TRUST ME.

Richard Cox

I played here with my wife and we enjoyed it quite a bit. I don't disagree that the course is gimmicky, but for someone from out of town that's sort of what we were looking for. It's an unusual track that is pretty well maintained (as of August 2020). The staff member who checked us in wasn't exactly pleasant but that's somewhat common for upscale courses that get a lot of tourists. The starter, though, was friendly, as were the guys we were paired with. And honestly that makes all the difference in a round like this. My wife is still building her golf skills and she never felt out of place (we always keep pace with the group ahead of us). We played on a Tuesday hoping for a less-crowded course and we barely ever waited. If you are researching courses in the Denver area and are on the fence about Fossil Trace, (especially if you like a course outside the typical), I'd say give it a shot. If you are a well-traveled golf purist, maybe it's not for you.

Ryan Kirchoff

Fantastic course. Great service. Everyone was very accommodating and hospitable to us. The views alone make it worth every penny. The course is very challenging but a blast to play.

David Badger

This is a special Golf Course. Diverse and it keeps you on your toes. Beautiful views and scenery. Overall, very fun!

Aaron Kerkhoff

We had a two groups for our Saturday outing. The staff was very helpful and very accommodating. The course was very cool, well maintained, and challenging. I would highly recommend this course to anyone visiting the Denver area.

Adam Boari

Outstanding golf experience! I played here as a single and was paired up with a nice group. Fossil Trace has one of the best layouts you can ask for as well as a great practice area. Beautiful rolling terrain, dramatic hole backdrops and pristine conditions. The staff was extremely kind and helpful, this course has it all.

derek freeman

Incredible course for the rate. Great course to impress and take in the views. Located very close to the coors brewery it might be the best way to finish your round.

Edward Moser

Easily the most fun round of golf that I have played in Denver! Each shot yields a new view, a new perspective on this gorgeous course. You won't even feel badly for going into the sand! It's just a new place to explore. I can't wait to go back . While it is totally worthwhile to walk the course, the golf carts are a real treat!

Derek S

Unbelievable course. Highly recommend playing here next time you're in Golden! Quick slopy greens on a strategy filled course! The ole lady even got her first hole in one on #11!!

chris james

Played 5/25 the course is in great shape. Greens are fast & true. The bunkers actually are groomed and have sand. Staff could not have been any better. Best golf conditions I have played on the front range in a long time. Thanks for caring about the details.

Robert Wesley

We had a networking social/dinner here after a long day. Lovely course and surrounding scenery. One of the employees was kind enough to let us hit a few balls on the driving range right before closing.

Dustyn Rasmussen

One of my favorites in Denver area! Bring your “A” game on the greens, all around great conditions and greens roll nice!

Tyson Nielsen

I am an avid golfer and have played all over the country and this is without question the first course I've ever played I would call a destination course. The staff was great and the course was in immaculate condition and is SUCH a fun, smart course. I can't wait to play it again! Thanks again, Fossil Trace!

Angie Sisney

The atmosphere was so quiet and quant, we were able to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. We will absolutely come back for a dinner date soon! Thank you!

Pin Balller

What a great and unique course. I traveled a far distance to play it and loved it. Each hole is different and none are forgettable. To top it off, the staff in the pro shop as well as the restaurant were all great and super friendly. Hats off to Jim Hajek! Truly a fun day with my friends.

blake griesser

Love this course! It's got some very unique/fun holes that can also be very challenging. It's also possibly the most diverse course I've played in Colorado. It's got holes with lots of elevation changes, holes that are narrow with trees, and holes that are wide open. The rock features on some of the holes are second to none, and every par 3 is interesting in its own way. I especially love the 3 par 5s, 3 par 4s, and 3 par 3s on the back nine! It's not cheap, but the last time I played there the temperature was in the 30's and the course was still full of golfers, so they're obviously not charging too much for the demand. Course was also in great condition despite being October.

Brendan Neaton

Beautiful course, unique layout. Had a wonderful experience with the staff, not sure about the reviews that say the staff is rude. Please don't listen to Kevin Shop, his review reflects a low level understanding of the game, and course design. Yes, the greens can be tricky, as they have many undulations. Look at this as a fun challenge. Spend a moment to analyze the read, and give it a go!

Justin W

Great course in golden, co. First time playing and the course was in great shape. Would visit here again next time I’m in the Denver area.

R

Just got done playing five holes because this wind is ridiculous. But when approached staff they were kind enough to offer a rain check since I had never been out here before and had no idea what I was getting into. I appreciate the staff understanding and I will definitely be back. The course looks fine and has fantastic views of nature.

Matt Ertmer

Amazing course, Fast greens that roll true. Great views and friendly staff. I would recommend this course over any other course in the area.

Tom Newsted

This course is fantastic. I played it for the first time today and despite the cold I would recommend it to anyone. The back 9 has some amazing holes and features you won’t find anywhere else. The staff was tremendous and the practice facilities are great.

Winnie

All I have to say, because the course is beautiful...but what a great practice area! I love the challenge of the putting greens that have 3 tiers and a steeper grade. Well tended and very fast putts.

Jim Routon

Played alot of golf over the years at some amazing venues....none better kept or more amazing that this course. It should be a bucket list course for anyone that loves the game set on surreal venue

Bryan Nichols

An absolute must play for golfers. Beautiful course in great shape. The pro was super friendly and advised on how long the course would play for someone from a lower altitude. Top notch. Will play again as much as I can.

Barry Shaffer

What a beautiful course, tucked away in the valley of Golden Colorado, I think this is a 'must play' when in the Denver area. I've read that the course can be polarizing and I can see that, but it's obvious what side I'm on. Quite a few very short part 3's and some may find the signature holes gimmicky but my wife and I really enjoyed its uniqueness. As much as this course gets played, we found it in excellent shape in the middle of Summer. An added plus is the grill is great with the brunch menu being my favorite, in fact, our pre round meal impressed us so much we didn't bother looking for somewhere else to eat after our round...

Christopher Fenn

Everyone at this course from the head pro to the restaurant staff was absolutely amazing. We were a large group and they were so friendly and accommodative. 10/10 would recommend.

Mark Stratman

Beautiful course. Well maintained. Fun/challenging greens. DEEP and I mean DEEP bunkers. More water on the back 9. Hard to find a flat area on the entire course other than the tee boxes. Well designed fun course. You need to play this course if you love golf!

Liz Krupa

Great course, incredible staff and very good food.

Nick Kupinski

The course was fantastic. Traveled into Denver from Chicago and saw this course consistently rated among the top public courses and it did not disappoint. The elevation changes really challenge your game and the views are breathtaking. Don't miss out on this course if you're in the area.

Mr. Marti

Beautiful course. This place eats me up. Pretty tough course for an average golfer. But the views are worth the extra strokes! Incredible panoramic views of the entrance to the Rockies as well as both Table Mountains. Also love golfing through the canyon on the Back 9. I play here every Wednesday for a work League and have a great time no matter what I shoot. Just gained a new appreciation for the staff as well after losing a pretty pricey wireless speaker either on the course or left in the car last week went to the Pro Shop after golfing this week and they had it ready for me in the drawer. Impressive links and impressive staff five stars.

m liddell

one of my preferred golf courses near Denver...always excellent...not necessarily for beginners but playable and fun...very nice course conditions throughout 👍 …

Michael Chrono

Very nice golf course it’s taken care of very well. The practice greens are a bit grainy but not horrible. Otherwise great course!

Gary Mansfield

Had a great time golfing! Brunch was great and inexpensive which was nice. We ordered food from hole nine in the carts and didn’t realize we had to stop at the club house the folks on the cart were kind enough to bring it out to us! Course was quite challenging but a ton of fun thanks again!

Roger Livingston

Great track! Visiting from Utah. Played fox hollow, evergreen and the Homestead. Top five on my have played list. Thank you

Mike Jossi

I played Fossil Trace this past Friday. It was a fantastic experience. The support staff at Fossil Trace are amazing and the course has to be one of the best courses in Colorado. The course is in the final stages of improving three holes and the improvements will make the course even more enjoyable.

Phil

Amazing course right near Colorado School of Mines. The scenery is great, course condition is great, staff is great. They recently updated driving range with new targets (mainly 100 yards and less) with a Welcome to Colorado Sign in the middle of the range. The carts appear to be new and are the best carts I have ever used in my life. They have GPS and even Bluetooth speakers! Every hole is creative in its own way. As of 5/24/20, Hole #2 is shorted to a par 3 for green maintenance and #15 is shorted to what may as well be a par 4 for green maintenance. I am not a fan of the new location of what will be the 15th green, but it does allow for more pin placements, but I will miss the bowl shaped green is used to have. Overall I recommend the course. There are Golden resident rates they do not advertise very well, so let them know if you are local for a better rate, there are also Jeffco rates! Will return soon!

Boun S

Nice course. Everybody on course very nice and professional. Club house guys n gals are very nice. First time playing there and guy showed me around. Great experience. Purchased a glove with fossil trace ball marker. Will play there agian soon loved it.

Wayne O'Donnell

Fossil Trace proves to be very enjoyable. Condition of the course was better than anticipated, pace of play was excellent and the staff could not have been more accommodating. Certainly some memorable vistas and shots. Will visit again!

Ecto1

staff and getting ready was great. Very nice practice range and greens. This course is one of the hardest I have ever played. No fairways are even if seems and the greens have different slopes with a high grade. Make sure you are on point and ready to be humbled.

Alex Wernimont

Beautiful golf and a great twilight . I played today starting at 330. Still played the whole 18. I was walking and at first it was a bit odd. Pushing me to the second hole but I got paired with great people twice and had a great time . And that is saying nothing of the course. The whole thing is either tough or spectacular. And usually both . Great conditions and a great layout. Lovely course wish I could play again now

John Donnelly

Wonderfully fun and unique golf course. The practice facilities are great as long as their isn't a tournament going on, but that's the case anywhere. The staff was friendly and were happy to have us at the course. Find a good deal through their website and play twilight or other discounted rates for the best deals.

Chelsea H.

Our server Skyler was very friendly and the view was amazing, we will definitely be back. After lunch we went on a nice stroll on the path around and through the golf course, it was lovely.

John Mclean

Nice municipal golf course. Check in staff great and friendly to deal with. On the down side expect to only get about 20 range balls without paying extra. As far as the course it is really tricked up with lots of blind tee shots and extreme slope on the greens. The course GPS system on the carts was weak and did not give you suggestions on how best to play the hole. This is needed for first time players. Pace of play was also on the slow side with the Marshalls doing little to speed up play. Based on the reviews I was expecting a better experience but it is certainly a nice municipal course

Scott Mckernan

One of 2 courses I bring clients from California to play. (the other one is Arrowhead). While the views at Arrowhead are amazing, I actually prefer the layout of Fossil Trace. The course is always in great shape and the holes are challenging but not impossible. The staff is very helpful and friendly and a special kudos to Adam Fitch - the best golf manager I have ever dealt with. And stay for lunch, the restaurant is fantastic.

Frank Hanou

Fossil Trace is beautiful but very quirky. There are some very unique holes and the tees and fairways are in excellent condition. Not so much the greens, however. And they're ridiculously contoured for a public course. There are also several blind holes. They have kind of a strange arrogance about themselves. Not sure why they think the green fees need to be that high. It's like they're a country club that always wanted to be but never was. Nice to play once or twice but not worth the bucks for a lot of rounds. $$$$orry.

Spence McCallie

Great public course. This par 72 has three par 5s on the back nine, so bring your big sticks. The course requires some precision play, and you will definitely want to avoid the greenside bunkers on #1 and #7 (Glaciers have shallower crevasses). The course tends to be crowded in the afternoons and on weekends, but I have rarely exceeded the 4 hr 20 min pace of play. Since you have five par 3s in a round, you can expect to spend a little time waiting at these spots. The restaurant has good fare for lunch, and there is a hot dog stand in front of the clubhouse.

Patrick Kuretich

Went here for lunch with a friend. Have to say it was great. The munch menu had good options, staff was nice, and view was great. Had the pork belly Reuben and I would recommend it! I actually forgot some personal items here and staff was very helpful in holding them for me. Even if you don’t golf, check out the food here.

Candice Mclane

My hubby n i had the best most memorable anniversary/valentines night ever in our 3 yrs of being together we have ate at many restaurants across colorado and this by far had thee most exceptional service staff n amazing food they made us feel right at home they really set the bar for what true customer service is they even made our evening extra special by putting a lil card on my husbands beer that said its a girl and they made our 18 month old some other food that he could eat and it was super fast everyone was so kind so inviting it really was the best dining expierence we have ever have extra thanks to Elizabeth for the extra care she spent on us and treating our wild toddler with such a kind cheerful presence we will definetly be returning super impressed i wish other restaurants in colorado provided this level of service and care it was amazing cant thank the entire staff and chef enough ill be referring all my friends and family to this wonderful place thank you all so very much u are all so amazing 😊

Mark Smith

The range is very nice and the price for balls is better than I've seen elsewhere.

Buff Devil

Awesome course. We had a great time playing and loved the atmosphere. The course is in great shape, staff are nice and the level of play is just right.

Zach Kiehne

I was driving through from Maryland to CAli. Made a Pit stop in Boulder to check it out and on my way out I passed this course and veered left immediately. Played 18 holes by myself and loved everything about this course. The layout, the views, everything was perfect. Easily one of my favorite courses ever

Michael Denison

Fossil Trace is definitely one of the better courses here in Colorado. Also, one of the more interesting courses you'll play. They use the topography of golden very well on this course.

Thomas Beilby

The best public course in Colorado - simple as that!

James Furey

Beautiful course in great shape. Super nice staff

Ken Lauck

Amazing course and the views are incredible.

Nelson Oldham

Great time! The course was beautiful and a great way to see the state of Colorado at its best. The rock formations are crazy cool and the service is great!

Sam Sherstad

An update: Our annual Colorado Golf Binge group of 8 guys played Fossil Trace again last Thursday and it was super fun. The course is great. The service is super. It's still a 5-star. This was my prior review.....I just played Fossil Trace again on the afternoon of March 20, 2014 after skiing the morning at Arapahoe Basin. What a wonderful day! My nephew and I had a great lunch at the course's Three Tomatoes restaurant. Then played 18 very fun holes that are in surprisingly good condition for March in Colorado. Fairways and greens are already green and lush. And conditions will be better this summer. Give it a try. Just west of Denver in the foothills of Golden you’ll find an incredibly unique golf course. Fossil Trace Golf Club lies right behind that big golden domed government building in Golden north of I-70. Their slogan is “Escape the Ordinary, Experience the Extraordinary” and they claim their course was 64 Million Years in the Making! They’re right on their first claim. The experience is Extraordinary…especially for a Texas Flatlander. I’ll just have to trust them on their 64 million year claim. But this is also probably true because the walls of the cliffs on the back nine contain fossils of prehistoric creatures and plants that have been studied for years by students of the Colorado School of Mines. In fact two walls by the famous 12th hole are set with lights for students and tour groups doing evening studies of the fossils. Before you head to Fossil Trace check out their great website and their helicopter fly over. It's a terrific way to get a feel for what you'll experience. I’ve been able to play this course seven times and have improved progressively as I’ve learned how to play Colorado golf course designer, Jim Engh’s bowl greens and sloping fairways. Some golf purists criticize Engh’s designs as being too golfer friendly but I find them to be great fun. In fact on my last round I got a hole-in-one on the uphill par 3 third hole by using the backstop. I was hosting a group of my TX and IL buddies and we had fun celebrating the special day at Fossil Trace's Three Tomatoes bar/restaurant overlooking the course. Head Golf Pro, Jim Hajek, will warn you not to bite off more of the course than you can handle. But in 2009 we didn’t listen. We played from the tips (Black tees) for 18 holes. The 6,831 yards at a high altitude with a 72.5/139 rating/slope didn’t seem too tough to handle but the narrow 480 yard par 4 4th and the 659 uphill into the wind 9th hole proved too much for us. So we squeezed in another nine holes after a great lunch at Fossil Trace’s Three Tomatoes Restaurant on the deck over looking the beautiful 10th and 18th holes. This time we played the Blue tees at 6,241 yards with a 69.3/131 rating/slope and found it much better for our game and egos. Another option would be to play the "T-Rex" tees (a combination of the Black and Blue tees measuring 6,577 yds and 71.2/135 rating/slope). Before you go check out Fossil Trace's great website including very well done videos of holes 1, 10, 12 and 15. These will give you a good taste of what you'll experience on a golden day in Golden. Have your cameras rolling when you play the unique 12th and 15th holes. Both are par 5s. The 12th makes you feel like you’re the ball in a pinball or bumper pool game as you pick your route through tall rock formations in the fairway. Golden is a fun town to visit après-golf. You’ll see some of the Coors Brewery near the Fossil Trace Golf Club - a tempting tour after 18 holes on a 64 million year old golf course!

Mark Eldring

I love this course so much and all the friendly staff that work at it. Im a regular out here so i may be a bit bias! I wish they would do a locals punch card or membership options but other than that, i cant say a bad thing about fossil trace! Go there, do it!

R Beach

One of my favorites if you're on the west side of town. Nice layout and usually in very good shape. Some call out a few holes as tricked out because of the obstacles in the fairway, but you know they are there so just need to play around them like any other hazard.

Michael Gochis

Great golf. Driving range was awesome. The sun sets behind you on the range so you don't have two worry about seeing the ball as the sun goes down.

Betty Boop

The bartender Richard is amazing he has great customer service he knows how to please his customers. I am a regular and he knows what beverage I have and keeps it coming. I also love Stephanie she also is great. I live 5 min from here and I must say it's my favorite bar.

Matt Dwyer

IMHO - best 18 hole course the front range has to offer. Incredible views. Great greens. Challenging yet scoreable. Love this track.

Kyle Holderness

Beautiful course, incompetent course marshall. Course Marshal Bob needs a refresher on how to treat guests. 1st, we visited from outta state and were not warned about rattle snakes until we removed a semi-dead one from the cart path IN FRONT OF BOB and disposed it in the public trash. Then, Course Marshal Bob met us on the back 9, made a snotty comment about something he accused our party of doing, which was untrue. Then, Before I could explain what he saw he drove off as I was speaking, which is very rude and unprofessional. In Bob's defense, the course was overbooked and that could have put him on the edge. I can only assume Course Marshal Bob is the brother or drunk uncle of the course owner(s). However, it was a beautiful and challenging course and the rest of the staff was very helpful and accommodating.

Bryan Broyles

5 stars for course conditions and layout. 1 star for course management. Non-existent marshalls, a pace of play that incorporates about 30 minutes of waiting into the round. If the course is going to have a stated pace of play of 4:30 (stupidly slow for a course with this little trouble), then they at least need to enforce that pace. They refuse to. Made the turn 10 minutes over expected pace, per their GPS. No marshall responds to calls. Spoke to starter at the turn to raise the issue: "What can we do, you have a group of seniors in front of you?" How about making them skip a whole, or let us play through, per USGA rules?

Christopher D

Nice course but Horrible 7 hour round and I brought my dad who is an amputee and they charged me $19 for him. Come on really? That's the only course who has charged for him to ride EVER.

Gary Hvizda

One of the finest public courses In Colorado.

Brent Harmes

Great environmental scenery and challenging layout. A real gem! A must play!

Frank Luistro

Love this golf course n it's designed by one of Best disign golf eer played in Colorado. I have have played since moving to Colorado in January of '85.

William

Tremendous all around experience. Cart tech is next level

Trevor Redding

Great facility here, beautiful golf course, excellent equipment and friendly staff. Challenging course for sure, but awesome scenery.

Rich Scoggins

This is one of the best public golf courses you will ever play. Extremely well maintained and the staff is outstanding.

Jody Martin

My absolute favorite course in Denver. I love the variety of terrain, the dinosaur theme, the non-stuffy vibe and the scenery. Hard to believe it's a public course!

Brandon Conklin

Definitely one of the better courses on the front range. Food is pretty good too.

David Simonich

All around a 5 star. Customer service is fabulous. The course is fun to play, challenging and views that you have to witness yourself.

Nathan Richardson

Most amazing course I've ever played. They let me play with my daughter, Wich was a very hard thing to find. Thank y'all from Texas with love.

Great public course on the foothills. I have a good time here every time!

Joyce Satchell

Great course, even though it was very windy, it was fun

Conrad Miller

Waited on the phone for 4 minutes. Nobody picks up. The normal call to just press 2 and then wait for for golf shop is 1:47. Why make it difficult to speak to someone??

K. Vance

Great course. Very well kept, interesting and challenging hole designs.

Dan Hartung

Best round of golf in town.

Brent Kilkus

Awesome course! Beautiful and very fun. Great pace of play. the beverage cart lady was very odd. Every time she drove by our carts she would stick her head into them and look around. Kind of intrusive. She reminded us that outside alcohol was not permitted. None of us were drinking and had no beverages in our cart besides our water bottles. Probably would have bought a Gatorade from her if she didn’t act like that. But yeah besides that awesome time! Will be back!
