Visited Aspen so decided to make the drive to Ironbridge for my first Colorado golf experience. Staff was super helpful, provided brand new Taylormade set of rentals for a family member. Playing on a Sunday morning, we saw a total of 2 other groups the entire round. Fantastic experience being able to enjoy a pristine course without waiting around because the course is slammed (like most California courses now).

Course conditions were excellent. Free range balls on a very nice grass range set the tone for the day. The course is set in a community, but the houses don’t really distract or get in the way of the experience. Beautiful red rock mountainside, pretty wide fairways, and some nice variety of hole layouts made this a memorable course. Tee boxes were in excellent condition, not sure how they stay in business because it looks like no one had played recently. Fairways were firm, providing some nice yardage boosts on drives, especially with the help from the elevation. Greens had been punched a few days prior, but I had no idea until the greens guy told me on hole 8. I couldn’t even tell, had no bearing at all on speed or smoothness of the greens.

Highlight of the course is the last few holes up on top of the mountain. Some awesome blind tee shots, extreme elevation changes from the tee, and forced carries made it totally worth the greens fee. Not a typical course layout I could find in California, so overall I loved the experience. I highly recommend checking out this course if you’re in the area. Excellent quality, fun variety of challenging holes, and doesn’t appear to be too busy- best combination possible for a round of golf.
