Walnut Creek
Commonground
Riverdale Dunes
Murphy Creek
These are the best public golf courses within range of Denver in my opinion. You wont have a bad time at any of these, unless you try to use the Murphy chipping area while the Olds are holding court over there
Yeah the point was more that GVR is about $25-$30 more expensive for something you can get elsewhere. Their range/practice area tho are pretty top notch
I think a handful of us are going to try and secure a couple foursomes at Commonground. Think thereās 5 of us PNW crew folk so we will need willing and able bodies. Goal is mid to late morning Sunday before or later Saturday.
Assuming there isnāt something put together beforehand, Iāll certainly do my part in trying to help with tee times at CG, itās a hard get even right at midnight the week before (mostly because when they open the times hasnāt been all that consistent - but I usually get like 1 time between 11a-1:30 for a 4some). Usually after 2 you can grab relatively easily as long as you are quick. The really only way to guarantee yourself the best times is to book early (90 days early) and pay the $100 fee. I am not sure if that gets applied towards your remaining fee or not (never done it) - nor do I really want to lol.
Iāll do my part to grab a few tee times and post when/if I get any. I will say you can usually tee off at like 3 and still finish with darkness just creeping in. Sunset is usually around 7:30 and you get about 15 minutes before you canāt see after it
Iām looking at playing a course on the RTJ Trail in Muscle Shoals, AL next week that goes to 8,000 yards. And 8,000 Alabama yards, I have to imagine, is good bit more golf course than TPC CO or Raindance can hope to me.
(Mind you I donāt plan to do anything other than laugh at those tees.)
I think a couple of us are going to just do the 90 day period. It opens at the end of May. I would hope it applies to your greens fee or is refundable or something. I will call and confirm because paying an extra $100 to secure a spot, while convenient, stinks if thatās the case.
Definitely worth it - I would assume it would go towards your fee (or is just your fee since itās $20 more than the standard fee). Just to note it is $100 per person not per tee time
Super jealous of you guys, just confirmed Iām in town that whole week too. Might join for one of these pre rounds. Could potentially get people out at Cherry Hills but it would be 1 or 2 people max.
