horrible shape this year

I've played this course in years' past and it has been in good condition. This summer? It is in the worst condition I've ever seen. I hit a 5 wood into the fairway from the tee box and a cloud of dirt blew up as it landed. The greens/pin-placement are a challenge.. and nobody fixes their golf marks on the green. Not worth the money or the time.

Natural layout, very challenging

Very well designed course, one hole flows right in to the next. Lots of hills so proper placement of shots is essential. The greens are very fast and undulating, lots of shots to be given away there if you aren't careful.

Horrible course

The course was horrible. Fairways horrible shape greens horrible shape tee boxes horrible shape. Pace of play well let's just say its an all day affair. Would hit a shot then sit for 15-20 minutes. Marshall was an 8 year old looking kid that just told you what you wanted to hear.

Challenging angles

I find this course a challenge. I norm shoot in the mid 80's but for some reason only shoot in the low 90's here. I like the challenge but the fairways and greens need some attention. The fairways are a bit rough as are the greens. If you can get it for around $35 with cart, it is a good value. I will continue to play here for now as long as conditions don't worsen.

Over watered and under cared for....

Had some way over watered areas in the fairways that were a mess. Did not have the areas roped off and the traffic from the carts & people playing the ball where it lies in those areas made a mess of some fairways.

Still had some bare and dead areas on the course for only being the end of June.

This course is a very nice and challenging layout.

There were a number of areas on the fairways and around the greens with bear spots that needed maintenance. Other than that the overall layout and greens are exceptional.

Course will challeng your shot making ability

Course has a challenging lay out with "the creek" coming into play frequently. Makes one consider your shot, are you a shot maker--has fun factor, or if you are a swing away kind of golfer-- be sure to bring plenty of balls. Course in reasonable shape-- most of the courses are still recovering from a rough spring.

Not good

Greens were like a circus putt putt course and half the fairways were flooded despite no rain for 3 weeks. A lot better options in the area.

Great Golf North of Denver

Thorncreek is a very enjoyable but tough course, many of the holes have large elevation changes between the tee box and the green making it harder on the typical player, especially the back 9. Overall I found this course to be fun and challenging, just what I am looking for. I would play here again.

This course needs lots of attention

Probably would not pay the money to play this course again unless major improvements in course conditions happen. Don't know who was in charge but it appeared to have very young adults running the pro shop and on the course. Had a main water break which should have required immediate attention but maintenance crew was slow responding which resulted in cartpath flooding and huge loss of water which could have been used on the course. No ranger present on course the day we played which was a Friday.

Pretty Nice

Course was in fairly nice condition: greens were excellent, fairways were fairly burnt. As long as you stay out of the rough, very thick, you are alright, but its tough to find your ball 10-12 feet off the fairways on most holes. Nice clubhouse with restaurant and friendly staff.

decent course if the marshal would move along play and if the would learn what water does for grass waited every hole and every shot

Terrible course management from fairways without grass and clumpy in spots and dry everywhere surprised me after all moisture we have had. Terribly slow play and not marshaled well. Blind holes with slow play equals major injuries that could have AND ALMOST DID happen. Walked off course frustrated. Did NOT have an enjoyable round AT all !!!!!!!

Greens in great shape, fairways little beat up.

I have played this course numerous times in the last 3 years. Love the layout, and the greens always in good shape, but have noticed the fairways are beat up, a lot of under repair and some grass missing.

Always a good price to play this course. I keep coming back to play it. Worth it.
