Wonderful course
Played poorly front 9 but others did pretty well. Thanks for the experience and value
Only person playing on the Golf Course on Friday
After the snow we received on Friday (10/18/2013) I called numerous golf courses and they were closed. Throncreek was open only for walkers so I decided to give it a try walking. Been there before and it was the same experience but walking. The course was still in excellent shape and there was no trace of snow on the course. I really lucked out to play on awesome course by myself and I will be back for some more golf there. Very Wide open to find your ball if the rough is cut.
course was in great shape
the course was in great shape and had some challenging holes, the pace was the best but there was a ranger out there keeping the pace going.
Great for the money.
Honestly I cannot not say too much bad about the course. We paid $20 to ride 18. Overall I feel that Thorncreek is challenging test of golf from the back tees. If the the greens were in better shape I would have improved the rating. Once again for $20 for 18 I can't complain.
Enjoyable Course with large greens
The course layout is great, good greens and undulating. Great pin placements. The only drawback was pace of play. The locals played extremely slow causing over 5 hour round for us. They were not courteous of the group behind. Course conditions were very good. The value was good. One of the best municipal courses in Denver area. Rental clubs price was good but the condition was poor due to not cleaning the clubs before renting.
Cut the grass!
You hit in or around the fairway, or around the green and you lose yer ball! Cut the grass!
Puts a premium on accuracy and course knowledge.
Enjoyable course, challenges your accuracy off the tee with narrow fairways and blind tee shots. The rough was cut extremely long. The greens were very well maintained. The three staff members I spoke with were less than cordial, not mean, just a little more gruff than I would expect. Pace of play was very slow, 5+ hours for 18. Not a course high on my list of recommendations for the area. There are better options in the same price range in my opinion.
Beautiful course
I had a lot of fun playing this course. It is not overly difficult and it is kept up well.
In good shape
Course was in good shape (and MUCH better) than the last time I played there over a year ago. Staff is friendly. Greens were very receptive due to the amount of rain of late. Some areas of the fairways are under repair but pretty well marked.
Overall I was pleased with the course and will play there again soon.
Difficult for my husband and I and pace of play was very slow. Play in front of us was very backed up
Difficult for my husband and I and pace of play was very slow. Play in front of us was very backed up
Loved this Course! Huge greens and the rough is "ROUGH"!
Long fairways and some very challenging shots if you get into the rough. I would recommend this course to anyone.
Thorn in your side
This course has its challenges but its not from golfing. Its the people that play this course. There were four two somes behind us, pressuring us to speed up. What a joke, its not our fault that we had a foursome. The course should have put those other two somes together. we played the front nine in 2 hours and 6 mins. Thats with two seniors. We also played off of three sets of tees. To play that fast on a friday who's to complain. We were pressured with people behind us on every hole. They hit into us several times. We had to wait on the group in front of us as well. There was no where to go. But it still played fast. The staff is not friendly, as soon as we showed up to the driving range, the ball boy which was some grumpy old man was giving everyone orders. I think they forget that we are the guests. Also, there were several dead spots and ground under repair throughout the course. The greens are extremely slow. If your looking for a cheap place to play, you found it. There is a reason why. The name should be changed from thorn creek to thorn in your side.
Great course for creativity!
Thorncreek offers something for everybody. Whether you're a high handicap or a scratch striker, you're bound to find something enjoyable about the course.
Course management is crucial for the first time player. Your second or third round will be more advantageous for your "going for it" mentality!
grat view
well maintained it was a fun course to play. I would play this course again.
Thecourse has beautiful challenges but not to difficult.
extreamly easy to find Thorncreek is less than one mile from I 25 , It offer a driving range a large putting green also course is good for walking as well as good quality carts.
This could be a great course if better cared for.
I realize we have had a lot of hot weather this summer again. Other courses in the area are in much better condition. Especially for the normal green fees this course is in terrible condition. I won't go back until I know its been improved at any price.
Nice golf course.
Nice golf course with good scenery. Staff is friendly and accommodating.
Decent course - tough track
Tough track for a avg 100 golfer. fun course, pace of play was slower than normal
Aside being a little wet, great
Only because the storms, the course is nice though
Average Course
It took me over 5 hours to play 18 holes. There were no Marshall's on the course, and the group ahead played from 3 different tees, and took 5-6 tens on holes. Pick your ball up! Pace of play was abysmal. "While we're young".
