Denver, Colorado 12-16 June

[puttnfool]

Spies, I will be in the Denver area (staying at a hotel near the airport) from June 12th to 16th. Hoping that someone wants to get together to play a round sometime, but the weekdays will probably be harder to work out.

If not, please at least throw out some recommendations for where I should play.  I don't mind traveling a little to get to a good course and I don't mind paying a little, but my game is in shambles now so I'd like to keep the cost relatively affordable.

... and go!

I just got back from there. I didn’t play this course but I’d say you gotta play commonground in Aurora, not too far from ya public and affordable. Watch some vids on it.

If money is no worry and you're proactive enough to reserve a tee time as early in advance as you can then I would recommend trying to get onto Fossil Trace GC in Golden, CO (about 20min outside of Denver)

Some other great tracks south of Denver would be Arrowhead GC, The Ridge at Castle Pines North, and Bear Dance.

North of Denver I would recommend Colorado National and Thorncreek GC

Lastly, Denver has a HUGE municipal offering, some better than others. If you want to put the effort in to get a tee time, City Park is such a cool course pretty close to downtown with awesome views of the skyline.

I'm not sure I'd say "money is no worry," but I'm not too afraid to spend $120 for a good course.

Any chance you're up to join me. Anywhere, not necessarily there.

If you had asked me any other week I would have been able to  I am closing on my first home this Friday and am spending all of my free time the following week packing boxes to move the 16th and 17th. 

I had completely forgotten this course in my initial recommendations, but Red Hawk Ridge isn't super expensive and has advanced booking with plenty of times and sub-$100 tee times+cart. Take a look!
