Red Hawk Ridge, Castle Rock, CO

Wonderful views, staff was amazing, course was in great shape, lots of elevated tees, all in all a very enjoyable experience.

Very well kept. Some nice mountain views. Overall I like it. Nothing too special though.

Even though it winds through neighborhoods, the dramatic elevation changes, wonderful views and interesting layout make this a great course. It is shorter than most courses, so even mid-handicaps will enjoy the gold tees best (the next longer tees are the black championship tees). To make up for the short length, the blue grass rough is especially long and tough, even around the greens. There is some element to 'target golf' here, but there are still holes where the big dog can be unleashed fully. The greens have some movement to them, usually away from the mesa top and toward the dry gullies, but they are mostly very fair. Usually in pretty good shape, but the wind and sun take their toll on this mostly tree-less course, as it sits along the edges of a mesa fully exposed. But the views are wonderful, and the layout is just absolutely enjoyable. The real fun is the down-hill holes, including two par 5s that are reachable, with some risk, by mere mortals. But, the course gets you back with three up-hill par 5s that are quite tough. Overall a very nice course that is truly enjoyable to play.
