How'd you play?

I played some Colorado golf a few years ago. Don't remember what I shot, but the places was beautiful. 

A friend just played Keystone, and told me to put it on my list. I thought I might have played Keystone a few years ago, but he tells me it's a newer course. (?)

Keystone has two courses: the river course and the ranch course. Supposedly, the river course is better. I've only played the ranch course, which I adored.

Okay at Fossil, horribly at the Raven.  I think mostly because I know Fossil Trace a bit better.  I've played it about a dozen times over the last 30 years, so I know how to avoid some of the potential pitfalls. 

I'd never even seen The Raven Club before - kind of a funky course with some greens which are not receptive to even a pretty good shot.  I didn't bring what passes for my "A" game these days, so it was even more frustrating to see poor results when I did hit some good shots.  Both my brother and I were burned more than once after playing what should have been pretty nice shots.

Played 18 holes at Kings Deer this week.

One of the best “value” rounds I have ever got to play. For less than $40 bucks I got to play 18, my wife got to ride along, and I got a souvenir golf ball. I had no idea from the website that the course had as much elevenation change as it did. Lots of elevated tee shots, and even some good uphill holes. Interesting design that could be considered “target golf”.   Some of the nicest mountain homes I have ever seen scattered throughout the course. The back nine had better views than the front, but the great scenery was throughout the round. I recommend it to anyone in the Colorado Springs/Monument Area.
