First course my wife and I played in Colorado. Fun round and great scenery. We saw a coyote trotting across one of the holes on the back. Great spot.

One of my favorite courses in the Denver area. Greens are always in terrific shape, and the layout is fun and rewarding. As long as you keep out of the long grass, there are possibilities to make good scores all over the course.
