I am moving to Denver from the Seattle area and was wondering if you have any course suggestions. Also are there any good golf value cards/promos in Denver?

I use golfnow.com a lot out here and in Arizona but it doesn't seem to be as strong in Denver.

Thoughts?

You should check out RTJ Jr.'s Arrowhead Golf Club in Littleton (about 30 mins south of Denver), if only once to see the red rock formations.

The Denver area has lots of good golf. You can go in every direction from the city and find excellent courses. Here are a few of my favorites:

Fossil Trace is West of the City
Hyland Hills(Gold course) is North of the City
Riverdale (Dunes course) is North of the City
Murphy Creek is East of the City
Green Valley Ranch is East of the City
Buffalo Run is Northeast

DEFIENTLY check out murhpy creek. I work out there right now, and its in great shape, you can play there right now, and its almost the exact course taht the pros would be playing as they are holding the US Ametuer there in a few weeks. Its a great course, and not too expensive. Ill even drop you a few range tokens if you drop by :)

Also check out,
Wellshire GC. Its in Denver.
Saddle Rock. Also a great course, challenging, but can still score really well.

Shoot me a PM, i can show you a few other nice places around here.

If you are willing to pay a little more, check out Grand Elk Golf course. Its up in the mountains, but its one of my favorite courses i ahve ever played. DEFINETLY worth a trip up there, but def. head out to murphy.

I will defenitley have to check out Murphy Creek. We will probably be moving out near Fitzsimmons as my wife is doing a residency program there.

I have played Fossil Trace and really enjoyed that course.

Thanks for the tips. Once I have played a few I will have to add my favs to this thread.

Murphy Creek (was super windy when I played there for the first time, kind of made for a much more miserable round than it should have been)
Westwoods
Riverdale Dunes (and Knolls is pretty fun to play too)
Wellshire

For whatever reason I wasn't a huge fan of Fossil Trace. There's a few other "budget" kind of courses that actually are surprisingly fun to play. Denver has a lot of courses around and since I'm moving in about a month I'm trying to play a few new ones. Foothills is up tomorrow, Raccoon Creek is also going to be coming up soon.

Westwoods is a good course, my parents actually live on that course.

I think we are going to be moving to the Stapleton area so I will have to check out some of those Denver city courses.

I moved to Fort Collins (hour north of Denver) from Seattle about 5 1/2 years ago. I think you'll love it out here. First off, for Denver area golf deals, check out http://www.golfcolorado.com/coupons.php . They have some pretty good coupons for courses all over the state.

As I mentioned above, I live in northern Colorado, so it would be a bit of a drive for you, but if you ever do want to travel north, here are a few that I'm fond of:

Vista Ridge (Erie)
Saddleback (Firestone)
Highland Meadows (Windsor)
Pelican Lakes (Windsor)
Mariana Butte (Loveland)

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
