Denver CO Area Recommendations?

[riendew]

Girlfriend and I are visiting Denver in a month and want to play while we're out there, probably 9 holes. We are both novices and are looking for a nice course with good views that won't be too difficult for us... Kind of a specific set of criteria, but does anyone have recommendations?

Hello! Welcome to TST! I lived in the area for awhile a few years ago. City Park is a nice track and good for beginners. Here's a good site to look:

City Park’s golf course is closed right now because it’s being renovated. 

For 9 holes and good views, look at Homestead (back 9 is better) or Fox Hollow (Links or Canyon). Common Ground has good views, but I’m not sure they do 9 hole tee times.

There are many very good courses in Denver area which are golfer friendly and scenic.
It really depends on where you are staying. You can go north, south, east or west a few miles and be close to several.
Fox Hollow was one of my favorites.

Completely agree with @DeadMan on his recommendations.  Homestead is an executive course, par 65, and is always in great shape.  Right at the base of the foothills, it has some beautiful views.  Another recommendation that I think offers 9 holes is Evergreen Golf Course, which is maybe 30 minutes up I-70 from Denver.  It's a muni, but also a mountain course that's a lot of fun.

Evergreen is a really good suggestion. Just be aware that it's a little quirky on a couple of holes. But you're playing in the mountains, so the beauty and the overall experience will probably make up for that.

I'll be in Denver after Labor Day for only a week.

Any chance of golfing together Wed - Friday?

Send me a PM if you can play.
