This course is out of this world. The views you get from most holes are one of a kind. Weather was absolutely perfect for golf (60 degrees and not a cloud in the sky). Played both courses ( Norman and Fazio). Both were very well maintain and flawless. If you are a golf enthusiast I highly recommend playing both courses
100% worth the price. Great golf course, will definitely be back!
Got to play the Norman design as a guest. Everything was great. The site was beautiful, the conditioning was excellent, and the round was so much fun. Lots of well designed holes and the variety of shots required to play was excellent.
Played RSR Fazio on 9/6/19. The course conditions were marginal at best (50% mushy / 50% firm). Multiple times drives that landed in the fairway plugged and either remained in its pitch mark or trickled 2 feet forward. The fairway cut close to the green was the same 50/50. My tee shot on the signature 17th landed in the fringe and plugged so deep that I used my ball repair tool to extract it. The greens were ok but not great like you would expect. The green surfaces just did not look or feel healthy and it appeared like they were struggling with a disease or fungus. The green issues did not cause the ball to jump off line and they are fast (easily 11+ on the stimp). Severe downhill putts were impossible to stop and that was mostly due to the fact that the green surfaces offered very little resistance.
Had this course played firm and the greens were in better condition, I would have rated it a 3.5 (even though that is not an option). My ultimate criteria for judging a course is whether or not I had fun. It started out fun but the beating of uphill holes with plugged drives ultimately made it unfun.
Been up here several times and it is awesome. Each time I appreciate it more. Course is in fabulous condition. Both courses are really interesting and challenging in their own right. Fazio is lower and a little tighter. Norman is higher up the hill and more open overall. Both courses are the real deal. Not a beginners venue for sure, but they are both a very fun experience.
This is the type of course that could easily be used for a pro event. Layouts are challenging but not crazy. Greens are in great shape and pretty challenging. Views are amazing all around both course. Price is on the higher end for Colorado (but reasonable - $180-190), but it's a mountain course with a short season that is kept in immaculate condition.
I will be planning another trip in a few weeks with 8 guys and this will absolutely be the main place we play. Highly recommend!!
Loved it
Quality of course and beautiful scenery
Very nice golf courses in the beautiful Colorado mountains. Staff and service is as good as it gets anywhere. Greg Norman course is visually an absolut stunner. Fazio course for me was the more fun design. But both coures are nice. Courses are not crowded at all. Only thing that is not perfect is the Greens. Fast, lots of break - ok - but very unpredictable and inconsistent at times.
The two people who gave this one star have no idea what a good golf course is. He didn't enjoy the course, and rates it poor, because he was incapable of playing it and couldn't have fun. He also said the greens we in bad condition, but then said they rolled true and fast. I played on the same day 2 years later. In early September, there are rainstorms that make the low spots soft/mushy. I also was a golf pro in Florida for many years and played/caddied on tour. This course is AMAZING and one of the best maintained courses in Colorado. Any real golfer would understand that this is not a flat, slow municipal course and enjoy the challenges that this course offers. And we haven't even discussed the beautiful scenery...
The ultimate and premier rocky mountain golf experience. The course is meticulously maintained, service is exceptional, and the setting, wildlife and views are outstanding.
The rudest staff. Way better gold courses in the area. Would not come here.
