My husband and I had a date day and came to A&a. We ran into a lot of traffic on the way up and…read morewere running late. Mazie, the owner was very accommodating and understanding. Our guide was Katie, a 17 year old young lady who was incredibly engaged with us, pleasant and shared historical information on the mining days in Central City and pointed out interesting things along our ride. The entire ride was beautiful, often through trees and remnants of the mining days. Definitely historical! At the top of the trail ( we went on the 1.5 hour ride) there was a majestic view of Mount Evans and the Colorado landscape in all its beauty. We don't horseback ride a lot but we will come here again and recommend A&a Stables to everyone!

I had a blast white water rafting down the Colorado River with Mad Adventures. When you arrive to…read moretheir store location it's about 30 minutes of admin stuff before you load the buses to head for the launch point. You fill out the wavier paperwork, get a speech from one of the workers, and go through the line to your life jacket and paddle. They also have shoes for rent if you need them. The bus ride to the launch point is about 30 minutes. The staff do their best to keep everyone entertained while your on the bus; telling jokes, telling you facts about landmarks, and the local area. When you get to the launch point it's about another 15 minutes before you get on your raft. They go through another 5-7 minute speech about the water, how to maneuver, and all the safety stuff (just in case crap goes wrong). Then they split you up into groups and you load the raft. We truly had a blast on the raft and I never felt like I was at risk of injury, or unsafe through the entire ride. From start to finish it was about a 2 hour trip; but it went by really fast. I could have rode the river for at least another 1-2 hours. It was super chill and some of the rough waters (class II and III) didn't last long but made the ride very exciting. We did stop for about 30 minutes at a point where you can jump off a cliff. There is a 25 foot cliff as well as a small jump spot for kids (my 4 year old jumped from the small spot). I did go up to the 25 foot jump (along with about 30 other people). Jumping was not a problem at all because you walk up to the edge and simply walk off for the jump. They don't give you anytime to look around, think, or get scared. 30 people jumped off in less than 7-8 minutes. It felt great!! The ride back to the main store was much shorter; about 15 minutes. Overall we had a great time and it was well worth it.

FABULOUS!!!!!!…read more Sydney is the owner so you'll be supporting a small, female owned business (in case that's important to you). She has 3 horses so this is an extremely personal / intimate experience. The minimum ride is 3 hours, we chose a 4 hour ride and brought a lunch. She helps you from start to finish if you're an inexperienced rider, if you're experienced you'll also thoroughly enjoy the ride. You assist her with grooming, saddling, cooling the horses after the ride, everything. This is an option that I highly encourage as it allows you time to bond with your horse. The horses (Duke, Missy "Baby Horse") are VERY well cared for, loved, and are so responsive to Sydney. Whether you are an experienced or inexperienced rider you will love this ride. You will ALWAYS feel safe, especially since there's just 3 of you. I highly recommend Alpine Stables and Sydney for your Rocky Mountain ride. The views are spectacular!

I'm pathetic and usually end up either breaking something or slamming more beers than holes I finish out of frustration. When my buddy had his bachelor party here though, I just had to suck it up and hit the links. As much as I hate this game I've gotta give credit to the best place I've ever played at. Pole Creek has three courses all surrounded by Rocky Mountain beauty so even if you're as terrible as I am, the natural surroundings will provide you with a sense of serenity so you don't drive your cart into a water hazard. Outside of the immaculate fairways and greens the staff is incredibly nice. On several occasions a marshal came by to either offer advice or help find a lost ball. (which there was a record number of) He even took a couple of pictures for us which was by far the best shot I was a part of in the round. They rent some really nice Titleist clubs for only about $30 and beers and food are pretty affordable compared to other courses I've ever played. Overall Pole Creek is worth the price of admission just based on the scenery alone. If you're actually a good golfer, I bet you'll love it too.

We played other course in the area and has no issue driving on the fairways (except for the Par 3 hokes). However Polecreek is "Cart Path Only". The group also consisted of 3 disabled US Veterans. On the 28th the check-in desk was very cordial. They allowed the 3 disabled Veterans to acquire "Handicap" flags and carts that allowed them to drive at 90 degrees from the cart path onto the fairways to line up and hit their shots then return to the cart path. However, on the 30th the staff and rules changed. Not for the good The staff was disrespectful and had no time to answer questions. When the 3 disabled Veterans tried to get "Handicap" accommodations they were denied. They were told that only golfers with the blue card that hung from their visors. All these Veterans suffered disabilities from their service in Viet Nam. They were asked what their disabilities were. They explained their license plates bore the "Disabled Veteran" and therefore they didn't need the handicap blue card. How does the service by these Veterans and their disabilities get such little respect? Pole Creek needs to do better!
