Played course on 29 June 2025. Before I even get to the course, I would like to acknowledge that the workers are awesome. From the started, cart guys, cart girl, and the young man in the pro shop. They were kind and welcoming. The course itself is in spectacular conditions. Squared away tee boxes, well cut fairways, bunkers maintained, and the greens roll pure. The course is VERY challenging and the rough makes you pay!! A lot of dog legs which require some shot shaping. The course also has great amenities and practice facilities. Can't go wrong at this course. Well worth the money.

This was the first time I played a round at this course, and I was not disappointed with any facet of my experience. First, the pro shop is amazing. They had so many items I had never seen before; I wish I had arrived earlier to browse longer. The staff is first class and very friendly. Service in the restaurant is speedy, too. The course was in excellent shape and was challenging and fun. The on course beverage service was very attentive, and our group did not go thirsty on a day when the temperature reached above 100 degrees. I can't wait to return to this course many times before the season…

One of the best public tracks in the Denver area. Course is always in great shape. Greens are quick but roll true. MC was the host site of the 2008 US Amateur Public Links Championship (changed to the Four Ball Championship in 2015). MC is a links style layout that was probably second to none in 2008. Now, housing developments have taken over and blocked out a lot of the great views that the course probably once had. (The two worst things a golf course can have are trees and houses). Front 9 has homes being built now but is still mostly unscathed . The back 9 has homes surrounding 8/9 holes. C…

I love this track but felt disappointed playing here yesterday. The tee boxes need a lot of work and it took us 5 hours to make it to 17 tee bc of pace of play. Hope they can improve on this bc it is typically one of the best courses in the Denver area

The golf course could use a face lift. Very rural course with unmanaged dirt cart paths. As a walking golfer this would be a 4/10. Super windy curse surrounded by cow pastures and new housing developments. A few water features here and there. Overall the grass was in pretty good shape. The greens were pretty slow and grass was cut a little long .04 .05 maybe? Anyways good back up course.

The course was a good challenge and in decent shape. The greens were fast and the fairways were vast. Staff was friendly and pace of play was decent. Enjoyed the course and will be back. Update 7/9/22: Course is still in overall great shape. Great to play and staff is friendly and helpful.

Challenging and fun course! Greens roll true and fast. Back nine is bit more challenging.

I’ve probably played this course more than any other in the Denver area, and it’s one of my favorites. Beautiful links style layout that winds through pastures. Front 9 is unbeatable. Sadly, there are a lot of new housing developments going up in the area where there used to be open spaces, which is starting to erode the course’s charm. Nevertheless, it’s tough to beat the variety and quality of golf you get here at muni prices. In the summer, it’s prone to random thunderstorms, especially in the afternoon, so take note. Pace of play can be poor because of a lack of enforcement and people play…

Who knew this gold course would be a cute tucked away gem in Aurora. The greens were kept up well, especially for a public course! It has a cute prairie farm feel. I am just beginning to golf as is my husband so I can't speak to the difficulty of the course for those who have golfed longer than us. For my husband and I, the course had some holes that were difficult and some holes that I was able to get a birdie on, so I felt somewhat rewarded with my game.

Always a good challenging track to play staff is friendly. Over priced for sure as a muni course definitely needs to be adjusted especially in the winter when conditions are shit and it's walking only

Probably the best golf course value in CO. It's definitely the best course that still exists in the suburban sprawl that surrounds Denver. Way better round in overcast or stormy weather, play it from the tips, it can get to be a beast in the wind. Shame they left houses around the course. And didn't continue to build more courses, looking at why you get good, and lost distance... Best golf value in Colorado, yup. Canceling TPC, used GVR again needlessly appearance stipulation competition... Get trampled next year kid, Mets...
