Overview

Located in Monument, King’s Deer Golf Club boasts of a “true” links style experience. It offers some excellent views of Pike’s Peak and the course definitely has a different feel about it. Tall native grass surrounds most of the playing area, and the course does have it’s fair share of water. For being such an exposed course, it still maintains it’s unique character throughout each hole even when they parallel one another. For the most part, the scenery seems to be better on the front than the back due to the wonderful views of Pike’s Peak. Although, the back offers possibly the most dramatic elevation change, it only appears on the 10th hole. Other than number one and number ten, this course definitely has a flat “feel”. This course does call for accuracy with undulating fairways and fairway bunkers. Almost every green is well guarded by traps. If the wind isn’t up, the course is relatively unguarded as the overall distance of 6711 yards from the tips is not a tall order. What is deceiving about the yardage though and makes this course tough to push over are the long par 3’s. Don’t be misled by number two, they will get tougher!
