After 8 years of living in Colorado, my Mountain Golf experience was limited to a few trips up to…read morethe 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.

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.

Saw the beverage cart one time who apparently leaves at noon according to the guy wiping my clubs off. carts have some useless gps added as an afterthought thats better than getting kicked in the shin I guess but nothing like the nice carts you get at a 80$ course.. Terrible carts, tiny range, no beverage cart, possibly more grass in the parking lot than the greens on the front.

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.

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.

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!

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!
