Had the good fortune today of playing the beautiful Perry Park Country Club in Larkspur, CO. This amount of breathtaking views and remarkable landscapes across every inch of this course is truly impressive. Each and every hole offers up something unique and spectacular. It's a true gem. What stands out first and foremost are the stunning red rock outcroppings popping up all around this stunning property. Between them are mature, tall pine trees and a rising and falling cascade of picturesque golf holes that never fail to ignite the senses. I found myself being more mesmerized from one hole to the next and it just never stopped. Even the clubhouse view across the lake is one for the books. Conditions were near impeccable as one would expect from a property like this. Greens were simply glass perfection. They were so fast and challenging that they did a number on my score all day, but you couldn't ask for better ones. Holding greens proved very difficult without a doubt but the ensuing chip and pitch shots were just as much fun. We played from the white tees and they were all in very good shape, with some of the par 3s showing a tiny bit of wear and tear. The fairways were mostly lush and inviting with only the fewest trace spots of either thin or somewhat soggy. For the most part they were tremendous and the rough was just amazingly thick and at times very difficult to put a good ball on, but again, always fun trying. Bunkers were also mostly in great shape but a few were not quite at the highest level, but that's just nitpicking at this point. Everything about the play here was tremendous. POP was stellar as it was a relatively quiet midweek afternoon, while cart service drove around numerous times so we always had whatever we needed. Funny thing about the carts at the club - they're all gas. Feels like Autopia as a kid at Disneyland. The driving range at Perry Park is at either end of the large lake beside the clubhouse, so range balls are a bit odd as they are of the floating variety to make for easy capture at some point in the day. They work just fine to loosen up the swing, but not a great gauge for your ball flight or distances. I will post some pictures as soon as I can as it was nearly impossible not to want to grab a new and amazing shot on just about every hole, but of course we needed to play some golf as well. Clubhouse was very rustic and unassuming but the staff was very friendly and helpful. Do I recommend this place if you get a chance to play it? Take a big guess!
