Chipping Green! Neat!
Carly W.

Murphy Creek Golf Course is GORGEOUS! I stopped in this past weekend to snag some practice time at the driving range while the BF was in Colorado Springs playing a course with th guys. Here's the highlights: ++ The greens are well maintained! Heck, everything is well maintained! ++ There's tons of signage pointing you in the direction you need to go. ++ Incredibly friendly staff! ++ Well stocked pro-shop. ++ A mere $9 for a bucket of balls. Yay! ++ An awesome chipping green that has some great practice features for all skill levels. I can't wait to come back for another day at Murphy Creek Golf Course's range and to hit up the par 3!

What an awesome golf course!!! Thought the course was beautifully maintained with incredible views. Also super reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back

Great course with challenging shots, makes you plan ahead and think about the shot you take. Greens were extremely fast, very tough to read with multiple breaks within one putt. Nonexistent trees can lead to windy play as it did for us on the last 3 holes, the wind caused our shots to go anywhere the wind took them. Great value for the money on a quality course in aurora. Other courses around here might be a little cheaper but they don't offer the challenges that Murphy Creek does

Sonja A.

Great course. Murphy Creek has quite a few challenges, especially the back nine. Keep an eye on where storm shelters are since weather is ever changing. (6, 10, 16 that I remember).

He helped our group get situated and ensured we had the absolute best experience possible. ++ The simulator experience offers a variety of courses to play and a variety of styles to best suit your group. ++ While we chose to golf during our visit there were many more play options including lacrosse, hockey, zombie dodgeball, and more! They also offer up ping pong tables and axe throwing - so go ahead and try something new! ++ The fine folks at OverFlyte offer up a drool-worthy table-side food and drink menu. We sipped and noshed on all the things. I opted for FlyteCo Mules and the Fried Chicken Sandwich. Delish! OverFlyte Denver def helped us beat the bitter cold blues. Can't wait to come back and check out more of what they have to offer!

The staff are amazing, and go out of their way to ensure that everything is explained and you are set up to have a good time. It was very busy the night we went, but that wasn't an issue since you reserve your space ahead of time. We did both axe throwing and a bay rental for an hour. Renting a golf bay is incredibly cost effective since the cost does not change based on how many people you have (you can have up to 8). And even though I called it a golf bay there are TONS of options to play. The food and drinks (which you can order through a QR code) are also great. We had some wings and they were delicious. TL:DR - an awesome option for a night out with built in activities

No one else does this, and there is no reason for it. I always end up having to go to the shop to get a refund for a Jr or Sr in my group. The staff is not always the most welcoming when doing this.

Slow play is also a fair call out, but guys it is a busy muni, of course it's slow. Some new changes for this year that will probably annoy someone are online only reservations, and hitting mats on the range on Mondays. Now on to the good stuff, this course was redone about 15 years ago by Tom Doak it is wide open and approachable for weaker players but also has a more challenging scoring line on every hole. The course is kept in good shape and if you'd like is very walkable. A few things I'd like to see improved as someone who has played here for years: 1.) replace the trees that die, some of the ones we have lost have really changed the character of certain holes. 2.) invest more in F&B, if there is a full tee sheet there should be one cart parked out by 12 at that large intersection and one lapping.

Pros: Food is decent, overall course condition for a public course is pretty nice. Putting green is…read morein great shape and they have a good driving range. They keep the club house clean as well as rental equipment. Cons: Pro Shop Staff. Majority of the staff in the pro shop is extremely rude. Example, one of their staff who is also a coach, named "Charlie" is very rude and does not come across as a pleasant person in general. Another staff member, I believe his name is "Chuck" is also lacking in positive energy and always comes across as though I am inconveniencing him. Today, I missed my call for my tee-time because they had the speaker turned down to where those of us chipping in the practice area could not make out what we being said - if we even heard it to begin with. On that note, the chipping area is nice, however it would be a big improvement if the chipping greens were actual "greens". Going back to the pro shop staff, and this needs to be seriously addressed. When customers are using the credit card machine, it is common for the staff member working the register to take the stylus and select options on the screen for the customer, rather than letting the customer operate the credit card machine themselves. This is rude and it is not their place to make selections for the customer, especially when it comes to their personal financial transactions. PERIOD.

My husband, our two children, and I had a 4:30 p.m. tee time and were playing nine holes. Around…read more6:30 p.m., while we were on our ninth and final hole, the course marshal, Steve, approached us and told us we needed to move faster. I immediately responded, "I'm sorry, we'll go faster." Instead of simply accepting that response or having a respectful conversation, Steve screamed back, told us to look at the people behind us and "golf faster," then drove away. I went to the clubhouse because I felt the interaction was unnecessarily rude and wanted to discuss it. What followed was one of the most disappointing customer service experiences I have ever had. During the conversation, three different men referred to me as "hysterical." Did I raise my voice? Yes. After repeatedly feeling dismissed, ignored, and talked over, I became upset. I also cried. Not because of golf, but because I felt like no one was listening to me and parts of the situation felt more like I was being mocked than heard. At one point, in front of my daughter, I asked Steve to stop walking away from me and have a face-to-face conversation. Rather than addressing the situation, he threatened to call the police. What makes this especially frustrating is that when Steve later spoke with my husband, my husband explained that we were not behind pace at all and that we were actually right on time. Steve agreed and admitted that he was wrong. In other words, the entire situation could have been avoided with a respectful conversation from the beginning. Steve then told us he hoped this would not leave a bad impression of the course and that he hoped we would come back. My husband's response was simple: it is unlikely. No child should have to watch their mother be treated that way for asking to be spoken to with basic kindness and respect. I am a new golfer and was excited to spend an evening on the course with my family. Instead, I left feeling humiliated and discouraged. I fully understand that course staff have a job to do and that pace-of-play conversations are sometimes necessary. What is not necessary is speaking disrespectfully to customers, dismissing their concerns, calling them "hysterical," threatening them, and then later admitting the complaint was unfounded. The golf itself was not the issue. The treatment we received was. Unfortunately, that is what our family will remember about this course.

We were in town to visit the DU campus, and I was thinking about hitting a round of golf. After…read moresome digging, I found Harvard Gulch. I hadn't played a pitch and putt in a long, long time, and with barely any equipment required to play, this was definitely worth a visit. Only $1 per club rental, we each chose 1 club and 1 putter. Lots to choose from, so it took us some time to choose carefully. The 1 club + putter challenge we had made for a real fun round of golf, added a layer of thinking to a fun round. The golf was great. Super casual. We came mid day on a weekday, so it was not busy. We were allowed to bring some beverages (went to nearby Denver Brew Co), and had a lot of fun. Greens are surprisingly fast, especially downhill. Bunkers had legit sand, and there is even the threat of water. We bought a 6 pack of balls in the pro shop cuz they were only $5 (only needed one each), and bought a divot repair tool ($1) because we were planning on raining golf balls on all the greens. Lol. We had so much fun, we played a second 9. Joined up this time with a third, and he was a super fun hang. Good golfer too. All tee shots are off mats, which is expected. Wasn't a problem for us. It wasn't super busy, but pitch and putt is going to attract all manner of skill levels. We had a lot of time to kill, so we were prepared to wait and chill at each hole (back in the day I'd go to places where we could be 10-15 people deep at each tee box), but it moved fast today. That said, when we were leaving, we saw a group of 4 and 5, and most looked like beginners. I have another day in Denver, we may try and play another round. If not during this trip, then for sure the next time I come. Great fun!

Love this little par 3 course. It's definitely a short chip and put course. They are super chill at…read morethe club house and it's pretty easy to get a tee time and go when ever you want. Great for an after work chip and putt with some beers to relax. They don't sell beers there but they allow you to bring drinks with you. It's also not bad to walk, so highly recommend making it fun with friends playing with just 3 clubs and a putter.

My kiddo just turned six and has been golfing for years now. I decided it was time to let him play a 'real adult course' after playing exclusively the First Tee par 3 courses around town. So first things first - the pro shop is out back of the building and a tiny bit tricky to locate the first time around. There's a bag drop out front, but doesn't need to be there. Just take your clubs straight back. The staff member who checked us in was very friendly. There is a discount for Junior golfers, but no such deal for veterans. All in all it was $25 to play (total for two of us) and we were able to tee off on time. The course is is great condition, and it is clear that they have a staff that cares about presentation and course management. The winding lake in the middle only brings water into play on a couple of the holes. The rest are pretty straight shots, and nothing is out of reach for most golfers. I think the longest was just short of 200 yards. We had a great day, and even though we had to wait at a number of tee boxes, the whole round only took aboutj 90 minutes. There is a very fun looking restaurant right as you step off the ninth green that we definitely want to try at some point, but it was a work day, so raincheck on that one. All in all, great experience.
