Normally a nice course to play. Unfortunately, the fairways were in TERRIBLE condition due to the winter. This is quite common for courses in Denver in the spring due to a harsh winter. The difference is most courses that are not in "mid season" form still charge the off season or winter rate (usually $15-$30 cheaper). I expresses my disappointment in them charging full price for a round with the course in mid-winter form. They took my name and number and I never heard from them. Lost my business for a while!

The only drawback was very little drinking water on the course and it was a 96 vdegree day.

Staff in the Pro shop are second to none! The prices in the Grill and restaurant are on the high side but the staff is friendly and courteous!

Great layout but the course condition was disappointing for this time of year. The eee boxes were in horrible condition and the greens were only slightly better; fairways were decent but had some bad patches.
