Indian Peaks Golf Course - ReviewOverview
Lafayette might seem like an out-of-the-way city for someone living in and around the Denver metro area. However, it’s actually only about 25-30 minutes northwest of the downtown area. While the number of people as well as the overall size of the town have changed like most small towns have in the past few years, Lafayette can still boast Read more…

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…
Overview
Vista Ridge Golf Club is located about 25 minutes north of Denver. It’s a fairly easy drive as you can take I-25 most of the way. The surrounding area where the course is located as grown quite a bit since the course was built in 2003. Houses are beginning to line the course but overall the houses never really impede on your round. Perhaps most impressive (aside from the course’s quality) are the views you get where you might not expect them. The Front Range of the Rockies stand quite impressive in the early spring rounds with their snow capped peaks. Even in mid summer the views can still be quite majestic on a clear day. While Vista Ridge is no longer a “Troon” owned course, the standards have not diminished at all since the buyout some two seasons ago. Read more…

Murphy Creek Golf Course has quickly become one of the top rated public courses in the nation. Completed in 1999 by architect Ken Kavanaugh it is hosting to the 2008 Amateur Public Links Championship. The course offers a long prairie style links layout. With tall native grasses accompanied by shaggy rough and a relatively long 7,584 yards in distance, this course definitely offers a challenge to players of all abilities. While the course has plenty to offer, Murphy Creek can also boast about one of the more interesting clubhouses in the Denver Metro area. It’s grand appearance almost makes you think you’re visiting a farm rather than a clubhouse. It’s pays a nice compliment to reminding people of what golf must have been like (somewhat) during the times of Old Tom Morris. Read more…
Overview
Saddle Rock Golf Course is a relatively new track in the southeastern portion of the Denver Metro Area. Situated close to E-470 in Aurora, it was actually completed in 1997 - before most of us had ever thought we’d actually pay to use a road on the Colorado plains! Saddle Rock is described as a “long, high plains, links-style” course, and has been featured as a top ten in Golf Digest’s review of public courses in the United States. Read more…
Overview
Riverdale Dunes was designed by Pete and Perry Dye in 1986. The course is located in Brighton next to the Adams County Fairgrounds, and shares the space with it’s sister course Riverdale Knolls. Now if you’re a native to Colorado and you’ve never played the course or don’t live near it, you might think to yourself “what course in Brighton could possibly be worth playing”.
