I played this course during a 4-course golf trip to Denver. This iconic course has a terrific setting, but it could be somuch better. I noticed that many of the tee boxes weren't level, complicating getting a good stance. Also, bunker maintenance could be improved. At this price point one would think that the traps would be raked daily, but many were crusty from not having been raked and evened in a while, and in some instances was like hard pan. Fairways and greens were in great shape.

Service was only average, and I expected better. We waited a good half hour to get a sandwich while waiting for our tee time, which was simply unacceptable. The range is short and does not allow anything other than irons.

It was fun hitting shots in and around the rock formations and with large elevation changes on the holes. One or two blind shots off the tee is fine, but this course has quite a few, and when you don't know the course--which applies to a high proportion of the golfers there--it can be a frustration.

Overall, I was disappointed because it could be a lot better than it is. In speaking to golfers at other courses I heard it described as overrated. I agree, and probably would not play it again, but it was worth playing once.
