Name: Kathy Loughmiller Course Review: Polecreek is an incredible golf course with views that are truly unbelieveable. The fairways and greens were in excellent shape for early in the season and the new clubhouse was beautiful. We will certainly play this course again if we vacation in Colorado. Pro Shop Review: Service in the clubhouse was excellent. Date: 2009-07-26 Name: tom darrah Course Review: pace of play--we felt like we were on a private course and played in under 4 hours. Conditions were great and the marshall actually gave us very helpful distances on diffult shots. The best mountain course we've played and we've played a lot. Tom Pro Shop Review: Date: 2009-11-03 Name: Bob Stanford Course Review: Awesome course the greens were very fast and smooth Pro Shop Review: Date: 2010-07-06 Name: Josh Byers Course Review: The course was spectacular. The views couldn't be beat. We were held up a little by an afternoon shower but found shelter on the course. The best part of the round was on the approach to the 15th green. My brother stuck a shot 10 feet from the pin and out of nowhere a fox ran from the woods and stole his ball. Not sure what the ruling is on that but it made for a great story. Pro Shop Review: Date: 2010-07-28 Name: Sam Sherstad Course Review: Pole Creek Golf Club is a Colorado Grand County 27 hole beauty. Our group was fortunate enough to play the Meadows 9 then the Ridge 9 and then enjoy a great lunch at the Bistro 28 bar/restaurant with the sunny deck. Then we teed up and played the Ranch 9 to finish a wonderful day just before a big July afternoon rainstorm. My stats are based on the Meadow-Ridge combo for 18 holes. I felt the White tees were enough for our group at 6,567 yds. The key to the Meadow 9 is to stay out of the thick, wet and sticky grass just off the fairways. The most unique hole on this nine is the par 5 7th hole ... a blind, dogleg left with target golf through a marshland valley. A long draw over the left corner sandtrap would be ideal on this hole. The Ridge 9 is the toughest of the three nines and features some nice elevation changes. The par five 9th is a nice downhill 532 yd shot from the white tees. It's reachable with 2 good shots but the front of the green is well protected by a large sandtrap. The Ranch 9 seemed to be the easiest but the par 3 7th is a real challenge at 151 yds from the white tees or 212 yds from the blues to a green surrounded by marshland. The Pine Beetle has hit Grand County as hard as any part of Colorado so the pine corridor feel is not as tight as it was when Pole Creek opened back in the mid-1980's. Our group from TX and IL was impressed with the condition of the greens and fairways. We had a 27 hole day to remember. Pro Shop Review: We were impressed with the Bistro 28 bar/restaurant, the pro shop and especially the friendliness of all the Pole Creek staff. We'll be back.

Pro Shop Review: The service was fantastic, especially after a long season. Date: 2010-10-23 Name: Robert B Maddox Course Review: Greens were excellent. Craig has really done a 1st class job with the whole course! Pro Shop Review: New club house and all has really brought an ambience and atmosphere to the facility and pride from the staff. You are doing a great job in difficult times. Date: 2011-06-03 Name: scott murphy Course Review: From the start of the day to the end of the day, the course was amazing. Great pace of play as we walked 18 holes (including the arduous Ridge) in under 4 hours. The greens were soft and true and rolled well for such early season. Playing blues in a bit of wind was the real challenge, but we learned to hit the longer irons to the greens. Lots of effective bunkering to make some holes challenging, but also some more inviting holes the you can run up to. The elevation changes leave you hitting lots of shots up or down to greens, so be patient with your distances. The range balls included and the quality of practice facilities makes this course seem like a club. We will be back lots this summer as it is a great value on a wonderful course! Pro Shop Review: Mary and the Pro Shop folks are wonderful. Everyone there was personable and helpful. They worked with us to get the best pairings of nines as we played 3 days in a row. The grounds crew were very respectful and had the place in top notch shape for this time of year. Resort like feel and treatment. Thanks Pole Creek.. |
