Played this AM. Course is in really nice shape at the moment. Due to the fire in May they are now operating out of a converted storage container. So no restaurant and only portable bathrooms next to damaged clubhouse. Tee boxes were all fine. Fairways had good coverage, lies and roll out all round. Very little rough and what is there was all playable (there are many OB areas adjacent to many fairways). Water in play on several holes as well (3, 11, 14, 16). Bunkers were all playable and had rakes. Greens are in nice shape and chip/putt, hold/release shots and have good speed (8/9). Fast easy and welcoming check in. POP was 3 H. Sr rate w cart $39. Walking rate of $24. Recommended.

Played this AM. IMO the course is in the nicest shape it has been all year. So of course they will be aerating the greens on the Babe starting Monday (but not Ike). Some of the tee boxes were scraped while others were OK but really ran into no issues with any of them. Fairways were nice and green and provided good lies and decent roll out (probably a lot if you hit a draw). Rough was not high so what there was was playable. Traps are all playable but did not see any rakes. Check in fast efficient as always (thanks Al). Greens were great. Chipped/putted very well (about 9/10 speed) held shots and released shots as well. Little to no divot damage to deal with (nice). Great customer service at all levels. Both courses were extremely busy when we finished after our 3 H round. And masks inside all areas of clubhouse/hotel.

Played this AM with POP 3 H. Very quiet here today? Course is in decent shape at the moment. Tee boxes were playable (some better than others) and some needed mowing. Fairways have decent to good coverage but there are many bare areas depending upon which fairway you are on (move it a few feet and you are fine - if you wish to). Had good lies and some rollout most of the round. Rough was about an inch tall and easy to find your ball but not so fun to play out of. Traps are no different today than past years or past postings (shame they don't fix them). Greens were in nice shape. They chipped/putted nice all round and had good speed (about 8). Good service and quick check in. I enjoy the layout of this course and for $38 + cart (online special) it was well worth playing. I can name many (which I won't) that cost more and in worse shape.

Played today. Course is in really nice shape at the moment. Fairways have good coverage and some good roll out at present (nice). Rough is very low and playable. Tee boxes are all fine. Traps are all playable and have rakes. Greens are just right for chipping/putting (with decent speed) and release shots nicely while leaving small divot (which of course we repair). Check in is fast/excellent at both shop and starter. POP was 3.5 H. Restaurant open and no masks required in OC.

Played this AM on a wet/soggy course. Lots of water due to current heat. Early AM it is wet, damp and soggy. In the low lying areas of the course you will find standing water as well. The dampness left the traps not very playable. No roll in the fairways though the fairways have good coverage and decent lies for the most part. Tee boxes were OK as they have moved them around letting the beat up areas grow in so we had no issues. Rough was 1/2 to 1 inch and sticky outside of the fairways and around the greens. Greens were all in good shape and chipped/putted with medium speed. I liked seeing the marshal out using his divot repair device while we were playing and it showed when you were on the greens (nice touch). Restaurant is now open and today it opened at 6 AM with a full menu. Each day has different hours and either full or slimmed down menu (more info on the updated website). Customer service excellent at all levels. Sad to see one of the employees (Mathew) leave but the ladies in the shop have taken over with gusto.

Played today. First off, the restaurant is now open. Still great food and prices. Course is in good shape after all the recent heat. Tee boxes need repairs on some (especially # 7). Fairways had good coverage and decent roll but some have some wet areas from over watering. Bunkers were playable but IMO need more work. Rough was about 1/2 to 1 inch in areas and playable. Greens were not cut too short due to prevailing heat so they putted slow but were clean and playable. Customer service excellent at all levels.

Played today. Love the improvements (all new front entrance to clubhouse) being made on the clubhouse (pro shop is were old restaurant was) restaurant (no food service at all at present) etc. But I wish they would put some of that love into the course. Found the course completely saturated both in the fairways (no roll out at all) and on the greens (spongy and balls plugging). Tee boxes were in terrible shape. Rough was overgrown in almost every area. Traps were not playable. Greens as I stated were soft and left divots or just plugged and putted SLOW. Not convinced they have the best superintendent or grounds crew in the LA County staff. Won't be going back anytime soon. Wildlife (deer, coyote, fox) was worth the time spent. Like being in a zoo without cages.

Played this AM. Found the course in very nice shape. Tee boxes all good. Fairways had good coverage (a little wet early) but provided good lies and good roll out all round. Traps were all playable and nice to have rakes back and see others are using them. Very little rough and what was there was playable. Greens all in good shape and putted well with medium (not fast) speed. Easy check in and excellent customer service.

Played 8/22. Located in Eagle and on the same name as the creek which winds throughout the course. Tom Weiskopf did this one for the owner of Adams Mark Hotels. Who sold it in 2015 to a private development company. Another course that has a clubhouse that is HUGE. With exceptional service and food. 7155 from the tips. Another one I played the combo tees. Lots of elevation changes throughout the course. Never had a tee box that was not level or pristine. Fairways are wide and lush with beautiful lies and roll out. OB galore in forms of high rough, water, canyons, creeks and woods. Beautiful playable traps. Greens are HUGE undulating and they were running at 13 and 3 putts and more seemed like the order of the day. If you can get on this one don't refuse.

Played 8/21. Have loved this course since the first time I played it. They have now done some softening and redesign by Tom Lehman. The four holes on top of the mountain (might as well be a mountain as it is 1/4 mile up the path) are now the final four finishing holes. And # 18 is a 603 yard par 5 and you must carry a canyon for your 2nd/3rd shot. Outstanding service at all levels. Condition of the course is superb. Great tee boxes. Fairways are lush with great lies/roll. Playable sand in all traps. Lots of OB, high rough, water and a river to contend with. Greens are fast and large. Very close to Glenwood Springs and on Hwy 82 going to Aspen. Play it by all means if you are in the area.

Played 8/21. I am not normally a fan of Nicklaus courses but will give this one an exception. Maybe it is the setting along the Roaring Fork River. Views of Mt Sopris. The beautiful homes (which are $$$$$) or just the way you are treated. The clubhouse is spectacular. Not much money was spared on this one. This is a Club Corp owned and operated course for those that are C C members (go play it). 7455 from the tips 73.9 and 131 slope. # 10 519 Par 5 # 12 656 Par 5 (named Eternity) have to hit over Roaring Fork river and carry needs to be 225 # 19 557. Must be why I played from the white tees. Best round of golf I have played to raise my handicap. Water, river, OB, high rough and FAST greens make for an "enjoyable" round of golf. But honestly the course is in beautiful shape. It is one of the finest private clubs I have had the privilege to play on. If you have the opportunity to play here by all means do so.

Played 8/20. Course was previously owned by Warrior Golf. Now owned by local ownership and running much better. CO is completely open and no masks required. This course is designed by Jim Engh and sits in a beautiful canyon. It is one of his best designs IMO. For those that like long courses? 7100 from tips. With every Par 5 at almost 600 yards (those were the days). Course had received 2 inches of rain the day before. So we were told CPO. But just as we teed off they changed to 90 degree. Thank goodness as each hole and green sits well below the cart paths. It would have been a long hot day. While the course was green/lush the fairways were still soggy from the rain. So it required LCP all round. Tee boxes immaculate. Traps had drained well and were playable and because they had rakes others had cleaned them before we arrived. Lots of OB, high rough around fairways/greens and some large carry areas make for additional fun. Greens had dried out some and chipped/putted really well with decent speed. Had late lunch in the new dining room over the 18th hole and looking South at the mountains. Great staff running the place now. If you are in Glenwood Springs, driving W on I 70 by all means stop in Newcastle and play here.
