Red Hawk Ridge - Course Review

Overview

Designed by Jim Engh and opened in 1999, Red Hawk Ridge Golf Course has quickly become a course that a great number of people have either played or want to play. Situated in Castle Rock, it is in fact one of only two fully public facilities in the immediate area. It’s surrounded by many well known and more prestigious courses (Castle Pines, The Club at Pradera, and Sanctuary) but has held it’s own in this very robust and thriving golf community. Read more…

Bear Dance Golf - Course Review

Overview

Bear Dance Golf Course is located in Larkspur just south of Castle Rock. For some people this doesn’t make for an easy place to get to since both distance and driving time from north of Denver can deter people from paying a visit to this course.

The Ridge at CPN - Review

Overview

Located in Castle Rock, The Ridge at Castle Pines North is a Troon owned and operated Golf Facility. Now when you hear the name Troon, most people immediately think “expensive”. However what you should think of when you hear Troon is “quality golfing experience”. The Ridge at Castle Pines fulfills that thought completely. Set in the rugged terrain of the foothills, this course offers some amazing views of the Bear Valley area, at times makes you feel like you’re hiking in the woods. There are numerous elevation changes and sloping fairways that will make you stop and think before teeing up on almost every hole. Most Colorado Golfer’s like to compare this course to Bear Dance which is about 15 miles south of Castle Pine’s. While it’s true that both courses offer a great Colorado Golf experience, the key difference between the two courses in my opinion are the greens. The greens at CP are a bit easier to putt on while recently Bear Dance has done some renovating to make it’s greens somewhat more forgiving. The signature hole (17) is a shorter par 3 and is made even better by the closing hole with a tee box that overlooks the green (pictured here). It’s a great way to close out a wonderful round of golf. All in all, this course can be a great deal with a coupon and would be a wonderful course to hold an event on to show how beautiful Colorado is.
