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.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
