txgolfjunkie Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I'm going to be in the Denver area the first week in October. I need suggestions for good courses in the area. I've played fossil trace so leave that off the list. I'm willing to drive anywhere as I'll have about 36 hours of free time when I'm there. Thanks in advance!

TBT Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Arrowhead in Littleton is my favorite Colorado golf course Views like that all over the course. Less than an hour from downtown Denver.

TBT Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 There is also a Pete Dye facility in Brighton called Riverdale....2 course...the Dunes is the best. There are a couple in the Aurora area....Common Grounds and Murphy Creek, both pretty decent.

downlowkey Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 There is also a Pete Dye facility in Brighton called Riverdale....2 course...the Dunes is the best. There are a couple in the Aurora area....Common Grounds and Murphy Creek, both pretty decent. There are courses at the Broadmoor and RedSky Ranch...but there are tough to get on and very high dollar +1 on Arrowhead and Riverdale Dunes (quickly becoming my favorite loop in the Metro area). In addition to the Colorado Springs referenced Broadmoor Re$ort, if you have a military connection, the courses at the Air Force Academy are incredible. Or if you are a masochist, Dick Phelps' absurdly penal Antler Creek has the distinction of offering 8000+ yards of pain from the tips. If you are after high country golf and don't want to pay the Red Sky premium; Granby Ranch, Pole Creek and Grand Elk all clustered in the Fraser Valley are fun tests and reasonably priced, particularly with unpredictable weather you can expect the first week of October. Let me know if you'd like to put together a group.

txgolfjunkie Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Awesome! Thanks for the help. I'll start researching the courses y'all recommended. I looked up The Ridge south of the Denver area but I can't pay Troon golf prices on this trip. It will just be me playing as my boss sucks and another co-worker would rather watch the mountains grow than golf. I'd be game to join up with anyone in the area, but I don't want to intrude on a regular group. I'll plan to play Saturday early afternoon and Sunday mid-morning. I played a Nicklaus course outside of Park City, Utah that measured just at 8100 from the tips. It was brutal. Even with the elevation, the opening 718 yard par 5 was a driver, 3 wood, 6 iron into a 3 tiered green with a big false front. Golf isn't fun past 7800+ yards.

PokeForeLyfe Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 +1 for Murphy Creek and Riverdale Dunes. On the Northwest end a good one is Walnut Creek. Legacy Ridge and Colorado National are also ok and reasonable. I'm open to trying to get together. I have been trying to put a one day game together for some members on here but not a ton of luck. Maybe we could round a few up. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if you'd like to play. I know that's smack dab in the middle of the day and there will be plenty of football to watch at that time. I'll make a mid-morning tee time at Riverdale - Dunes on Sunday, Oct 1. Probably around 9am. Thanks for the recommendations!

txgolfjunkie Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 I had a blast playing with the Denver guys. Denver has some of the best muni courses I've ever played. I'm jealous by the pristine conditions y'all play up here. The tee boxes are better than most greens in Houston. True story. Here's a pic from Murphy Creek Here's a pic from Riverdale Dunes course I really enjoyed playing with poke and down low. I highly recommend you hit them up if you play in the Denver area.

Denver does have some high quality munis. Glad to take anyone out that is in the area. Will be looking junkie up next time I'm in Houston. Outstanding golfer and individual.

That all sounds about right. I think he hit 17 greens at Riverdale Dunes. Rock solid setup, covers the ball really well and hits it right where he's looking. In other words, tough to beat.
