With respect to punching the greens, it's just got to be done and we have a very short season for growing. I've seen the course at its worst and best, and the current management is doing a great job. We belong to a number of clubs through ICON Golf and The Club at CB is on par with the best. Undiscovered gold mine is the food. Staff is great. Only complaint is that they don't have a ladies member guest for my wife and all the other great ladies who are members.

Nice course with tremendous views of the Rockies…read more I was fortunate to grow up in Buena Vista and frequented a round here as often as possible. The greens have been continuously good. Most are large enough to accommodate a wide variety of hole placements. The fairways are cut crisp and the rough is deep enough to give you some trouble. The course plays fairly open with water hazards on each hole. There's a water/restroom/vending machine area between hole 2 and 5 (I think they shut off the water and lock the doors during winter), and an outhouse usually at the 8th. The club house has recently been remodeled and looks much better. If you're looking to grab a meal, you're not going to find it here. But, if you're looking to knock a couple cold ones back after a day out in the sun, this is the place. Overall, great place to golf if you're in the Collegiate Peaks Area. Here's a tip. Find yourself a nice long day during the summer and hit up the Leadville, Buena Vista, and Salida courses, in that order.

The setting is perfection: nestled at the base of the Gore Range with postcard-worthy views at every hole. Conditions: top-notch. Smooth greens, tight fairways, and the layout rewards smart play without being brutal. It is far more polished than most munis. Slightly sad fact? The course runs beside I-70, so mountain serenity comes with a symphony of highway noise. Other private courses in the region do too, but are set back further so the decibel level is lower or insignificant. This location nevertheless is a must-play if you're anywhere near Vail.

Christian and her assistant, Sarah were so responsive and personable that made our planning process easy and actually fun even from a distance (we live in Chicago).

She even gave my wife a warm hug and calming words of advice on our wedding day. Deer Creek Valley Ranch will always hold a dear place in our hearts. I'll never forget the amazing sight of my wife coming over the Covered Bridge on a horse drawn carriage to marry me. Now I hear the place is even better now that their Man Cave is done!

This course is magnificent. Carved into an alpine valley and running along Gore Creek, it exemplifies mountain golf at it's best- plenty of stunning vistas and elevated tee shots. Well manicured and in great shape early in the season, it exceeded expectations. I walked on as a single and was paired with a charming couple, one of which was a college golfer (the wife)! They were on their honeymoon which explained to me why a couple was so nice to each other on the course! They both were great to be paired with but the course was the star of the show. I will be back. Great service from the pro shop, to the beer cart to the valet. Top notch.

Only snafu for me was the club rental. They have nice new Calloway rental sets. They asked if I wanted senior clubs and I said yes. Unfortunately the senior clubs were some beat up old Titleists so stay away from those. The rangers did keep play moving which I greatly appreciated. Some people spend too much time and psychic energy bonding with their golf balls and slow down play. You will definitely lose a few balls on this course so just expect it, live with it and keep moving. With the thick vegetation and the meandering creek these balls are gone forever so just let them go. II'd play here again anytime!

Beautiful as the location is on a crisp morning, it's a bit of a dog track in terms of layout and conditioning. So, I was pretty excited on my recent trip to Denver that we had a tee-time up at the River Course. For a first experience of truly high-end Mountain Golf, this was a winner. Boy did we luck out - it was a perfect Fall day. Weather in the high-50's, Aspens were near peak-color, and the sky was crystal clear. Oh yeah - and I was smoking the ball on the range. I have as close to entirely positive things to say about the course as is possible. Stepping up to the first tee, a nice elevated look down over the fairway, it was clear that this is a beautiful location and a well designed and well maintained track. It's more of a resort-style course, so it is accommodating. While you can get into trouble if you stray too far, the fairways are generous and leave some margin for error. Overall, the course is fair - although there were number of holes I'd like to have a second crack at, since I might play differently with local-knowledge. The greens are fairly quick, and they are challenging. The super-star is the beautiful mountain scenery. The front nine is nice. There are some nice holes along the river, and a couple of cool elevated tee-boxes. #9 is a dramatic downhill Par-3 to end. The back-nine is off the hook. There were at least five awesome tee shots, including the fun (but frustrating) #16, and the magnificent #18 Par-5 to finish. The look down over Lake Dillon towards the range to the West is just beautiful. This is a fun place to play - and yes, the ball does fly at this elevation. If you are looking for a place to come and enjoy yourself, without driving yourself nuts, this is a good course. If you are visiting, this is easy to access, and it's a nice drive up from Denver. I believe that we also took advantage of a deal for Epic Pass (Vail Resorts - Ski Pass) Holders. $69 with a cart. Not bad for a Saturday afternoon.

There are gopher holes everywhere, so watch your step unless rolling an ankle is part of your pre-shot routine. The greens somehow have more sand than the bunkers, which is especially confusing. At times it feels like you're putting out of a sand trap no matter where your ball lands. If you're looking for smooth greens, this isn't the place. If you're looking for wildlife and an overpriced zoo, you've found it.
