I just moved back to Denver and am looking for some great tracks to play. I posted about a month ago on this topic and got some great recommendations. I have played the following courses since I got back. I have been very impressed with the condition of the City of Aurora courses during this hot and dry summer:

Bear Dance - Larkspur (Very Nice)
Murphy Creek - Aurora
West Woods - Arvada
Meadow Hills - Aurora
Kennedy
Fitzsimmons - Aurora

Any other reccomendations

Murphy Creek is a nice kept course!, Same with Meadow Hills even though they are way different courses... Kennedy is ok. Try Saddle Rock, it'll eat up your balls with the native grass, but it is a really nice course! I heard Buffalo Run is nice out towards the east of the city, and SpringHill is a good executive course!

The Ridge is really nice - played in June.

Well boys, big life change here....taking a new job and moving to Denver (not to mention, wife is 2 mos. pregnant with first child, selling a house, buying a house).

But on to the important things - golf in Denver. I'm sending this out to all you Denver area residents. I need a lay of the land. Obviously earlier in this thread I got some course names, but can someone summarize for me? We'll be living in the Washington Park area and I'll be working in Broomfield. Specifically looking for the best public courses within 30 minute drive for me. How are some of the "city" courses near downtown? Need general locations of where these are so I can map them out too. Is there a local website for golfers? Is there a local magazine for golfers? Any great range near Wash Park? Indoor ranges out there?

The biggest golf bummer for me is that I'm leaving my private club here in STL and likely won't have anything I can afford within 20 minute drive (and I won't join anything over that drive time). But if you know of a private club near Wash Park that might be worth a look, let me know. Obviously DCC with its initiation fee and wait list is out. Would have to be something under $30-40k initiation and 20 minutes or less drive time for Wash Park.

In spite of playing 190 different courses throughout the country, I've never once played in Denver, so it'll be a sweet experience to get to know the golf layout out there.....

Thanks for the help!

Welcome to the area. The Denver city courses will all be near Wash Park, and aren't bad. I am also new to the area and I have found that the City of Aurora course are all pretty nice, especially Murhpy Creek (it is probably 25-30 from you). Fossil Trace is also a nice track, pretty uniqe, it is in Golden.

In the broomfield area, Coal Creek is a pretty nice course and I have heard the Broadlands is nice as well althought i haven't played it.

You should check out either Avid Golfer, or GolfColorado for some more courses. I have also reviewed a few courses in my blog if you want to check them out.

    • True, true. I should do that. He really did go off during that run, I remember now. Appreciate the context. 
    • I am pretty sure it is this. Word probably got around. The reports coming out now is that he bombed some interviews, and when pressed about it during the interview just basically had a horrible response. His attitude is crap. There are stories about him throwing his players under the bus at Colorado. I get it, he's not playing behind the best O-Line or have the best weapons (outside of Travis Hunter). That is bad leadership, bad attitude.  Also, it could be his dad as well. Who would want Prime Time chattering.  Go watch the playoff run. Four top 10 teams. He was elite. The Penn State game happened with our starting left guard shifting to left tackle and going up against the 3rd pick in the NFL draft. He had two big mistakes early. The pick, which looked to be a defensive play call to trap that RPO quick out, and then the fumble off his knee. He won the game besides that.

    • Yea I admit too I had more of a 2nd round evaluation on him, where I wrote in my notes "Maybe Geno Smith" after watching a couple games. Too many screens, too many sacks, awkward throwing motion at times, low velocity at times. Too low. At other times though I thought he made some nice throws, hence why I thought he should've probably gone around round two. So to me the free fall is surprising to an extent, but of course, it all makes sense now that he's still sitting there. He probably bombed his interviews too, and I know almost nothing of his personality. I love sports betting, hence why I love following this stuff, but there's only so much I can know from the outside looking in. But yea, my 2nd round guess was smart to an extent, but also bad now that he's still on the board and it's pick 4.17 at the moment. I see. Thanks for the take, I know you watch every game of theirs.  I just watched some of the Penn State game and can see both the upside and why he's still available. But I can get on board as well that Howard has more upside than Sanders too. Tougher competition, showed some growth from K-State to Ohio State.  I guess the question marks with Howard are processing and accuracy. Yea especially for us as fans. We don't get to interview these guys or talk to their college coaches to get a better idea of what they'll be like to work with everyday. We don't know who will end up being more durable and whose body will just naturally break down over the next few years. Some guys are great talents who go to terrible situations too, who are poor system fits in failed regimes. Other guys hit the jackpot with the perfect role on a great team in a weak division. There are so many variables.
