This course was an absolute blast to play! I was a little bit nervous heading to the course because of the fact that it's a "muni" and all the negative feelings that go along with that. This course plays as well as many resort courses I've been on. From the opening wide-open par 5, to the closing hole to the severely elevated green on 18 this course was a roller coaster of fun. The course is not long by any stretch of the imagination, playing just 6604 from the tips, but the design takes full advantage of the Big Thompson River, and numerous lakes and ponds to make it play much longer. There are very few "forced carries" to reach the fairway off the teebox, but many times you have to club down to avoid trouble at the end of the fairways which puts an emphasis on approach shots. Most of the holes are pretty easy to navigate, the on-cart GPS is very helpful in avoiding trouble. There are many risk/reward shots for the taking throughout the course. The greens are not huge, but they're not postage stamp style either. The elevation changes come from the tees and the greens on many holes. The elevated 18th green being maybe the most severe I've seen. This is a course that is friendly for all golfers. If you hit it long and straight then many times you have to put the driver away. If you hit it short then you don't have too many worries about forced carries. If you have trouble keeping it straight then most of the time you find yourself in places that you can get out of without having to go to the bag for another ball. The greens rolled true and held good approach shots. The staff was fun and first class. This is a course that will go on my "must play" list whenever I'm in the Denver metro area again.
