Plum Creek Golf & Country Club

Golf now booked multiple groups for our tee time, and never booked any of the times with the course. Kudos to the staff for working with a difficult situation and getting everyone taken care of. The course is great and very difficult. It was a TPC course after all. The second tees are like the tips at most courses.

The only set back was there was no cart girl. Otherwise great condition

Greens were better thus time overall course is poor condition, not taken care of and $60 is way too much: it's a $29 course

Though this is an excellent Pete Dye layout, due to financial issues, this clubs facilities have been steadily deteriorating over the past few years. This includes the clubhouse, driving range, the many railroad tie structures, concrete cart paths. and more. The driving range balls were old, unwashed, and expensive. there were few yardage markers, (a few numbers on sprinkler heads and 150 poles in center of fairways) nor laser reflectors (tape or glass inserts on the flagsticks) and no hole depictions on the scorecard or on signs at the tees. On the plus side, the fairways and greens were in fairly good shape and the diabolicalness of the layout reamin

Despite the several potholes driving into the facility, the course was in great shape, unfortunately their was no Marshall to keep pace of play up which ruined the experience! Great design and layout, but a 5 hour round is outrageous! Sorry don't know if I will play this course again.

The course itself is in excellent shape. The layout is challenging and the rough is thick. The greens were in excellent shape. I played on a Friday morning and the course was not busy at all. I would have to say this is one of the best values in the Denver area for the money.

Great course with a variety of challenges. Pace of play was excellent 3 1/2 hrs

Always heard great things about this course decades ago when I was growing up in Colorado and it was still a private club. When I noticed it was open to the public I was excited to give it a try. Becomes readily apparent upon arrival why it is no longer a private club. Club house, facilities, cart paths and cracked parking lot are tired and dilapidated. They give a poor first impression, but don't let it deter you. I had looked online before arriving to see that they were wide open, and so didn't book a tee time. Upon arriving on a Tuesday at 4pm I wondered if they were open. There were about 5 cars in the lot and I assume at least some of those belonged to employees.

The tee was open for me to go out as soon as I'd paid my $30 green fees. I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into at that point. $30 was either great value, or based on my first impression of the facilities, all they could get out of their customers without being accused of theft.

I'm glad I didn't turn around and leave. If you're here for the golf, it's a fantastic round. With the exception of very few areas, the fairways are in great shape. The rough is brown in spots, but it doesn't affect playability, only aesthetics. The greens are in great shape. They would benefit from being rolled firmer, but it had just rained and so my perception may have been skewed, and if they're trying to rehabilitate the course, I can understand leaving the greens soft for now. Layout of the course is fantastic, the best in the area by far, and you can certainly understand how this course was heralded in the past. Great use of elevation and terrain. Playing from the tips I had to use every club in the bag, which is incredibly rare at most modern public courses. Multiple cases where it made sense to tee off with a 3 wood or 3 iron. All the par 5s are reachable in two for me with a good drive, but you'll have to accept significant risk with your 2nd to do so. That's how it should be, risk/reward, not just 'did I smash it hard enough off the tee to bring me within range on my second' like you see at most courses. The only negative I noticed with respect to the course was the sand. Great bunker locations, but they need to work on the sand itself. Was hard-packed with large grain size (pebbles). Otherwise the course itself from the standpoint of quality, thought inducing, skill testing golf, was great. Never saw another single individual on the course through my entire round. Sad from one perspective, but great for the enjoyment of the round. Felt like I owned my own golf course. Walked in 3hrs 10min, and I was in no hurry.

I see a lot of complaints about the carts in previous reviews. Although I walked, the carts appeared brand new, so they are making improvements. Honestly, if they continued to invest in the course and left the facilities as they are, it'd be perfect as I don't go to the course to hang out in the clubhouse, and it'd keep the riffraff away.

If you want an interesting round of golf and can look past the rough edges, the course is great. At $30 to walk on a weekday, I can't think of a better value within 50 miles.

I had fun playing by myself at this nice course. Since it was a former TPC course, I could see some holes are challenging to those average golfers. Overall, it was nice outing. I wish the greens were faster and if they could only clear up the fairways before I started playing, that would be awesome.

Great track to play outside of the Denver area. Greens are always in great shape and the layout of the course is one of the best in the state with the best finishing hole in all of Colorado.

I've played this course twice in the last week due to Golfnow's great pricing. I had read previous reviews, making me hesitant about driving the 45 minutes, but was pleasantly surprised on the condition. Fairways were filled in nicely and greens rolled very true. I agree with many of the reviews saying the cart paths and roads are in bad shape, but if its a choice of course maintenance vs. road upkeep I'm glad they chose putting the money into the course.

Club selection must be considered off the tees! Need to know yardage of doglegs and hazards before playing, looks we're deceiving on some holes

Fun course in great condition. Don't be put off by the bad condition of the road as you drive in.

Tough course, oong, narrow fairways on some holes. Fairways were in great shape, but the short grass off the fairways are killers!

Tricky layout, not much to see of the hole from the tee. Very penal if you miss the fairway, hazards, high rough, trees, houses. Greens a little wet and slow.5 hour round.

I have played Plum Creek a few times over the past 20 years, and I've seen the course through some serious ups and downs. Admittedly the course was in pretty bad shape a few years ago - years of tough finances caught up with the course in terms of maintenance and updates. After playing this weekend, however, I'm pleased to say that Plum Creek is back.

The last time I played at Plum Creek I compared it to a backyard that had been well-landscaped at one point but then was left on its own. Things age, fall apart, and need to be maintained. Today you can see that they have invested in the most important area - the golf itself. The fairways and greens are in great shape, and a lot of the railroad tie landscaping that saw its best days in the 80's has been removed. The driving range is better than it was (still not the best first impression) but the practice putting and chipping area is very nice. The cart I had seemed new for 2014. The beverage cart made it through 4 times during my 4 hour 20 minute round, which was just fine. They start you on hole 10, so your last hole is 9. The course plays as it was designed - a challenging track, taking advantage of the unique terrain, nestled in the pines and scrub oak of Douglas County.

Now that the course is functioning well, I'd expect to see some aesthetic and functional improvements down the road. The clubhouse is well maintained but could stand to be updated. The concrete road and parking lot is an adventure in itself - it's been cleaned up, but a re-paving job would certainly make a difference. Sprucing up these areas would help Plum Creek recruit weddings and events. The signs around the course are old and the newer 1-5 plum tee boxes do not match up with the older color-coded ones on the signs. The pro shop has the bare essentials - balls, tees, and a few shirts - but don't expect to find a new set of clubs if you throw your 5 iron in the water on 16, 17, or 18 (a challenging stretch)!

Overall I was pleased to see Plum Creek in good shape again. The staff was attentive and you could tell they were working hard. It's a haul from Denver but it's worth the trip. Tee times were pretty open compared to other courses in the area, and I'd attribute part of that to the location. I'd definitely play Plum Creek again, and I'm going to certainly play it more often.

Course was in good shape and every hole has a different challenge.

Nice course, had quite a few uneven lies in the fairway. Multi-tiered greens.

Played this course for the first time and thought it was interesting. Pins were in nasty spots and the fairways were built in such a way that your ball almost always rolled off. Normally that wouldn't be a problem but the rough was so long you almost had to drive over your ball to see it. Anyway, I wouldn't mind playing this again if I lived in the area but it's an 80 mile round trip drive so I doubt I'll be back.

Course is in good condition. New carts are great (compared to the previous 'wrecks'). Friendly staff. But starting with the entry near the clubhouse to the cart paths themselves, please repair the 'holes' in the concrete all over the place! These will take their toll on the new carts as well as cars arriving at the club.
Stay on the fairway - the rough is long and lush.
