    Pano from #1 Tee
    Adam S.

    After 8 years of living in Colorado, my Mountain Golf experience was limited to a few trips up to the Evergreen City Course. 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.

That would've put us at the golf course at 3 o'clock when we called to explain we were gonna be late. They said they were not hold the golf cart for 15 minutes explained that the course was wide open according to the reservations, we are experience, golfers, and seriously doubt if we take two hours to play that nine holes of golf also offered that I would give them my phone number and we would end around short if needed. We are recently in a very serious car accident and I'm unable to walk the course. My wife even has a handicap placard to show that she's unable to walk that far. I am very disappointed in the lack of consideration, considering the long drive that we were prepared to do and the fact that the reason we were gonna be 15 minutes late was because of a road closure for over an hour. Is this really how you treat your customers I will make sure that everyone I know, including every golf course, golf store, instructor, a travel person I know is aware of how you care about your customers. It's truly sad

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!

So since the twilight was only $100, I decided to fork over the cash and enjoy a round on a beautiful course tucked into the mountains. Course was kept up very well. The views were amazing. Lots of elevation changes. I rented clubs as well and they were very nice (Taylormade). Beer cart lady was on the course. She offered snacks, beers, soft drinks, and liquor. I wish I could play golf on courses like this all the time. I typically play up at Cape Royale on Lake Livingston. No comparison. If you get a chance, spend the money and play golf in Colorado during the summer. All the courses I passed on 71 in the many ski resort towns looked very nice.

    I would much rather pay 80 bucks to get kicked in the nuts and then be done with a day of golf,…read morethan actually play a round of golf. 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!
