Challenging lay out but very playable and fun for good players. The course plays firm and fast and playing conditions are excellent. The design, as with a lot of Coore & Crenshaw courses, is all about width and angles.

Course is very fun with challenging greens. Definitely a Doak course because there are some holes where if you put in the wrong spot you are totally screwed. Greens rolled really nicely though and the speeds were good. It had a lot of good holes that were fun and interesting.

I personally like the back 9 more than the front. It was built as part of a housing development so almost every hole is lined with houses. Pricing and pace are my issues with HEB or it would be ranked much higher on my list.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Denver, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
