With Alhambra torn up through Oct I decided to play here this morning. I did 18 holes walking in 3 H.

The course is in terrific shape. Every tee box is level and clean. Fairways (though damp) had great lies and good roll out.

Very little if any rough to deal with outside the fairways and around the greens.

Traps had adequate sand and the one I was in played just fine.

They punched a few weeks ago and you would not know that unless you asked. The greens were just excellent for chipping, putting, holding shots but a tad slow with the dampness in the AM. I am sure they are much faster later in the day given the great condition they are in.

They have lowered their rates since they opened and charged me $32 to walk. Which I felt was very fair given the conditions I was met with. They are also running specials on the website if you are interested.

The now have a beautiful outdoor area with 2 huge TV screens along with many tables to sit at. A brand new bar area serving food and cocktails. And firepits/chair as well. Very well done IMO.

No driving range but they do have a large putting green.

The only complaint I would have is that there are no porta toilets on the course and the only bathrooms are at the clubhouse. I can already see that as a problem (LOL).

Was just informed more aeration on Oct 22 and course will be closed.

Played this morning. Course is in good shape. Greens to be aerated on Oct 20. But right now they are in very nice shape.

Pro shop informed me that all lawsuits are now in the past and the course will remain open for the foreseeable future.

They have new pricing M-Th which includes $49 for Seniors. Check with the pro shop on the pricing for F-Sun.

While it was a little damp early AM the course played just fine. Tee boxes were all playable. Fairways had good coverage and provided good lies on all holes. Not as much roll out due to dampness but it was cloudy and raining some this AM.

Rough was penal outside of the fairways but not on all holes. But again it was wet so that made it play more difficult.

Traps all had good sand in them.

As mentioned the greens putted and chipped just fine and were all in good shape. Again slow due to dampness but after a few holes you had the idea to hit them a little firmer.

Great customer service from pro shop, thank you Caleb and from the starter Mathew.

And the snack bar next to the starters position was open and serving food, coffee and drinks. Nice to see that as it seems many of these places at some courses are not open for we early bird golfers.

POP was 3.5 H as we got out at dawn and they even had a marshal on the course.

No problem recommending Westridge at presnt and I will be going back ASAP.

Went to play today. Lasted 3 holes. I knew the greens had been aerated but I was not expecting what else I found.

1. Fairways have not been mowed and look and play awful. And there was no mowing being done today.

2. Sand traps are being worked and they have numerous temporary greens and no information on how long this will last. And its not minor work but a total overhaul of each trap.

3. On Oct 6 ALL tee boxes will be aerated and tees moved up 30 to 40 yards. And they are stating that the tees will not open for one month.

4. They are charging normal green fees during all this work as well. No discounts.

Combine bad fairways, trap overhaul, sanded greens, and closing of tees for 1 month for aeration. That in my mind does not make for an enjoyable round of golf.

Personally I don't think its worth the $$ to play here for the present.

Played here yesterday. Course is a Pete Dye design and one of his early ones. Done in 1984. So it can claim being a former TPC stadium layout. It is a wonderful course to play. It is in Castle Rock so easy trip from Denver. Great rates, layout and staff. Found all the course to be in great shape. I love the Par 3 12th with (they say) 10K railroad ties. And the 17th is a Par 3 island hole made famous by Dye at many of his TPC designs. I really recommend this course if you are in the area.

Starting Monday I will be making a NE golf tour playing Awarri Dunes, Wildhorse, two days at Dismal River in the Sand Dunes of NE and finishing up with Scottsbluff CC. As NE is not in the GK lineup John will post my pics along with my posts in the Members Forums.

Played yesterday. This is a great course that somehow does not get the recognition it deserves like many in the Denver area. Its the home course for CO PGA so its always in great shape and always rated in the top 10 within CO. Great challenge with all the elevation changes and the fast greens (they were at 11). Never had a bad tee box. Fairways had great roll out and lies and the elevation of 6800 certainly helps your distance. The rough and OB and some water features are killers. Bunkers (all) playable. Greens are large and undulating but chip/putt just great. Terrific customer service. The course is S of Denver on I 25 about 45 miles. Well worth the trip if you are in the area. Highly recommended.

Played today. Sad to say course is getting worse than better. Totally over watered and carts are danaging the turf. Greens potmarked with divots and poorly repaired divots. Many areas of grass needs mowing and you will loose balls if you land there. At this point its not worth the $$ to play here in IMO. And play is atrociously slow due to these conditions. Only hope is cooler weather comes soon.

Played today. Not much change from last week. Course still being watered heavily against the heat. So lush fairways that need cutting so no roll and heavy lies. Tee boxes were cut so no issues. Traps playable but damp in early AM. Rough damp and high and needs cutting. Greens soft and showing wear and tear and divot damage due to softness. They all putted slow all round. But great customer service from Christian and Mateo in the shop.

Played yesterday. Course is heavy from watering to beat heat damage. Fairways no roll out. Greens sott spongy and divot marked. Great customer service as always. But slow play due to conditions. Not ideal conditions at the moment.

Before leaving Eureka I drove over to Indian Springs for another round. Wilderness gets all the press but this is a great little links style course in a beautiful seasonal RV village. But a great course that plays through the beautiful grass prarie surrounding the village. Course is in terrific shape and a tremendously enjoyable layout. I could almost envision the buffalo who probably roamed on this land years ago. And the secenery is great. I would call it one of those rare gems of a course you run across in your lifetime of playing golf and leaves a great lasting memory.

Flew into Kalispell yesterday and spent the day in Glacier. Staying in Whitefish so I got up early this AM and drove up to Eureka. Hard to believe I was last here in 2022. And boy has this place changed and also been discovered. Lots of development since my last trip and many more people. But got out early and POP was right on 4 H. The course IMO has gotten better and it is still a beautiful course and location. Tee boxes all level and playable. Fairways are in great conditon for roll out and lies. And you want to stay in the fairway and avoid the rough, deep grass, water, etc. Was in one trap and it was perfect. Greens were just fantastic for chipping and putting all round. Terrific customer service from all employees. Well worth the drive up from Kalispell or Whitefish. No idea when I will make it back up but I am glad I did it this time.

Played today on a hot summer day in a Net ball tournament for charity. I have never played here so that was one reason to play as well as support for the charity. I read Weber's review and asked for some advice and will concur with him on conditions, greens and bumpy fairways. I thought the layout of the course was fine and enjoyed the routing as well as the OB and water challenges that were present. Tee boxes could use some leveling. Fairways are dry in areas but provided good lies most of the time and decent roll out. Was fortunate to miss any traps but heard no complaints either. As I mentioned a fair share of OB and hazards can ruin ones round especially first time players. Greens were the highlight of the course for sure. Large and great chipping and putting all round and with good speed of perhaps 10. Nice grass driving range. Great customer service. Nice carts which can be taken to the parking lot. And good food and service from the snack bar. Given the location of the course I am not sure when I will be back but I agree with Tom that it is a well run and well priced course. One that I would not hesitate to return too if the right opportunity arose. And for those that don't know there is another 18 named Butterfield Stage on property. I would suggest if you are going to play here get an early time. It was very crowded even though today was a Sat.

Played yesterday AM. Course is in nice shape all around but very wet in many areas due to recent heat wave. I found all tee boxes to be playable. As well as the traps at that time of the morning. Fairways are playable but little roll out due to watering. Especially in front of the greens. If they are not careful they will have more cart track damage like in front of # 11 due to watering (huge). The greens are slow also due to watering so that they do not get burned out like what happened last year. POP was right on 3 H so that was good for a Tues morning. As always great customer service at all levels from Christian, Madison, Rich (carts) and Phil and Oscar (grounds crew).
