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 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.

One of the best in Colorado. Has always had great bones, now it’s in better shape. Wish they kept the railroad ties. Would be even higher but it’s too short for being at altitude

Played twice and enjoyed both, but the 140 weekday price felt way more reasonable for thr golf. Lots of elevation change and a stunning last 2 holes.

Great views. Interesting design. Fun to play on occasion. Plays very short and impossible to get a tee time.

Incredible views but otherwise overrated. Don't play in the morning or the winds will blow you off the course. Greens are comically fast and sloped. Overplayed so pace of play is slow. Driving range is only 185 yards.

Can be a little rougher around the edges, but great value. If it was firmer it would be a good links course

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.

The redesign is fantastic. Thought provoking for good players but not overly hard for bad players. A truly great mix. One of the best designs out there for what they had.

Front nine is much better than the back. The entire course is far too short, especially at altitude
