    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.

    Amazing Mountain Views. Greens super fast and the thickest rough I’ve seen. Difficult but views and vibes make up for most of that.

    Greens were very challenging. Lots of undulations for the speed. Very typical Nicklaus course but in a mountain setting. Really beautiful scenery but it was definitely pricey.

    Course is quirky and memorable. Green complexes and bunkers are fun and absurd. Great course to play 1-2 times a year with friends. Well manicured. Friendly staff.

How we rank

This ranking uses each golfer’s value rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Value is how worth the price a golfer felt the round was. Only public and guest-friendly courses are ranked, since private clubs rarely have value ratings. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs value 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. State pages include courses across Colorado. Rankings refresh about hourly.
