Ute Creek Golf Course

Really enjoyed playing the course. It was in great condition…….bunkers could use some more sand.

Even though it's been really dry the course was in great shape and the greems were running quick. Worth the 50 minute ride from Aurora and will definitely play again.

It was a 5 hour round, so pretty slow, but it was prime time on a Saturday.

The only knock on Ute Creek over the years is the pace of play. Typically there will be 3 groups on 10, as the snack shop is not as close to the turn and people seem to need to have a 3-course meal at the turn so it is usually a problem.

On this day, it was perfect. One group there, and they moved out fairly quickly. Set the tone for the whole rest of the day, as we played in just a smidge over 4 hours.

Hoping that this wasn't luck and that this is something that has been worked on (for the record, a phone and pre-order setup on 9 tee would serve this course well to end that backup on 10).

The course is always in good shape and the layout is fun and fair. Good job on the pace, let's hope it continues!!!

I enjoyed my round of golf at Ute Creek. It was my 1st time to play & the course was in excellent condition with great greens. I was paired with 3 other men & they had a hard time. One of those playing was a teenager & he had not played very much. There were 3 Seniors & we should have been playing from a more forward set of tees.
The pace of play was slow in our group because of the hardness of the course. The staff was friendly & the starter was especially helpful to me because I hadn’t played there before. I would play there again. Thanks

Will be back and not soon enough. Well maintained and in great shape.

I had not played this course in years since returning to the Denver area so it was like brand new to me. The course hosted the Denver Golfweek Amateur Tour on a nice Saturday, not too hot, little wind. Pretty easy access / less than 10 minutes off of I-25 and probably 40 minutes from central Denver.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The practice putting green and short game area are a bit separated from the 1st tee so it's not a bad idea to allow some extra time for your warmup. The good thing is that the driving range is nearly adjacent to the 1st tee so you can get there in a minute if walking. So practice putting and short game and then go to range.

Course is walkable, not too many hills and most tee boxes are fairly short hike from last green. Fairways are generously wide, especially on the front 9, even though I was spraying it pretty badly. The course winds through a community but most of the homes are set back far enough. Greens are average size and not too many undulations so relatively flat. Subtle slopes mainly. The conditions were excellent, the fairways were well manicured and mowed cross-grid style, and the greens were a tad fast and they were true. Also the scorecard has like 8 pin locations so very specific on where the flags are located. The greens are not that large to need such detail but it's good info.

The front 9 plays a bit easier than the back 9 since the back has the creeks and native areas more as penalty areas on the back. I like the back is 3 par 3s and 3 par 5s.

Pace of play was 4.5 hours. I look forward to playing at Ute Creek again, sooner rather than later!

I'm a 5-8 handicap and this course was a blast. Tough, and long, but wide open. The greens were FAST!! If you're a beginner, this probably isn't the place for you, but for those who like a challenge, you will be rewarded.

Also amazing range, short game complex, and putting area. Make sure to check this place out!!

Course is coming along nice. If you play before 10am you’ll play quickly but anything after that you will see groups stacked on each tee box.

We booked a 4some on golf
Now and when we showed up at the course it was very windy my friends and I wanted to play so we said awe let’s just try and play with the wind! We played a few holes and the wind was so bad the ball was moving when we were trying to putt. So I contacted golf now and they said they had to contact the golf shop and when they did the golf shop said the wind wasn’t a factor that the course was playable but they weren’t out there golfing like we were so I thought that was an issue. We played the first nine in horrible wind conditions and then the wind died down a little on the back 9 but all in all not a very good day to play and bad experience from the pro shop that refused to give us our money back. We almost quit and went in the shop to speak to the golf attendant but we just played it out in horrible wind conditions. Golf shop attendant was not very helpful or professional.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good the course played for this time of year. There were ground under repair areas that were well marked with plenty of drop space, this was very rare on the course.

I arrived 45 minutes early, staff was great at walking me through everything. Range and practice areas were perfect and in good shape.

I got the hot deal but opted to walk 18, I wish I could do a walking hot deal, but it is what it is.

As is with Trent Jones designs, the layout of the course was challenging and full of well placed hazards. A lot of aggressive shots were available, but you were always flirting with disaster, so I kept to playing a conservative game with thought out approaches.

The spacing of groups was great, it was a breath of fresh air to be on a course where you didn't feel like they were just cramming in as many groups as they could, we finished our round in just over 4 hours with not rush or hold ups.

I will be coming back to Ute Creek again and want to bring my friends along with me.

Well maintained golf course with greens that roll true. Challenging layout set up for all levels of player. Utilizes the terrain and creeks very well. Great local staff. The only reason I downgrade this course at all is because of the poor quality of the bunkers. They don't contain sand: apparently this course can only find a slurry of mud and sand for its traps. If you get in 'em, they play like a wasteland rather than a proper bunker. Otherwise my favorite course in the area.

We had a BOGO so two seniors paid $37 to ride which was great. We played in 4 hours teeing off at 9:30 which was nice too. Greens were cut and quick too
