The Ridge at Castle Pines North

Pace was terrible - especially for a Thurs. We call for a ranger and none came. I left after the 10th hole it was so bad. I was told on the 1st tee that it was cart path only ... and there was no reason for it. They had very heavy duty construction equipment ranging all over the coarse so why not carts. Should have been told BEFORE I even bought the round. I will never come back to this coarse. Many better choices for this cost.

Course was under major reconstuction. Cart path only rule (which golfnow does not tell you!). I'm too old for all that walking, kinda ruined the experience of the course.

I drove a long way and paid a lot of money to play a course that never advertised they would be cart only. The pace of play was terrible as the groups in front of us had to walk endlessly to find their balls instead of driving their cart to them. I got through nine holes and couldn’t stomach another nine. Will it play there again… great course, poor business practice.

Loved our time at the Ridge at North Castle Pines. We had a great time playing a challenging course, but got our steps in as the rules were "golf cart path only". The elevations gains and losses are extreme but that's what makes the course so interesting. Well worth the money.

Played the Ridge in mid May and the condition of the course was exceptional. In fact, I was surprised that it was cart-path only as the grass seemed fine and healthy. The course itself has challenges, views, and opportunities to go for it. It was well worth the price and we enjoyed ourselves.

We were given warning that some of the bunkering on the front was still being worked on but would be finished in a week. The management also acknowledged that the course wasn't up to their standard, so they gave each person a $25 shop credit. I figured there would be several bunkers that looked finished but just weren't supposed to be played out of yet. I was wrong. There were still a bunch of bunkers that had no sand nor sod around them. If that was the only issue, my review would have been better. the condition of the course left a lot to be desired. You can see from the attached photos that the tee boxes and fairways on certain holes were unplayable. The overall routing of the course was fine. It's a prototypical mountain course that requires you be accurate off the tee and is more forgiving around the greens. The course had just seen a few days of rain, so in certain parts it was very soft. It was cart path only, so pace of play was about 5 hours on a Wednesday. I walked but the course isn't set up for that. There are very few (if any) walking paths from tee to fairway. most of the time you're just walking on the cart path anyway. Overall it was a bland course in terrible condition that I was charged $100 to play. Wouldn't go back, too many other options in the area.

Just a great place to play beautiful scenery interesting and challenging but not overly difficult course. People are super friendly and very helpful when we played they were still working on rebuilding their traps and we knew that when we booked the tee time but still gave him a five-star rating cuz we know when they're done the front nine traps will be as good as the back nine and the boot they gave us a $25 credit even though we knew that traps were under construction when we booked her tee time can't really ask for more than that

The Ridge at Castle Pines was a scenic golf course that brings beautiful views and challenging holes from the back tees especially. This was my first golf experience both in Colorado and on a public course. After 2 decades of of playing at a private country club in Ohio I hope to find courses that allow me the opportunity to play quality golf with friends and family. The Ridge is somewhat under repair on the front 9. They also need to monitor some of the slower play. That said the views are incredible.

The staff here is aweful. They are much more concerned about the tournaments then those that are playing after. They said, sorry you will have to play the 1st 9 twice and when I asked why, they indicated we are working on out sand traps. Okay, but I was expecting to play all the holes and the response was too bad get your money back, but I couldn't because I booked through Golf Now! I will never go back and being a country club in Denver, this place is a disgrace. The bartender ladies were very nice, but I will never go back and they just lost my sons 1 of 3 places where we were going to do the wedding rehersal dinner for 70 people, but not now. The Avalanche organization should find somewhere else to go, they don't know what they are missing.

The course was not in great shape. But I was playing on a discounted rate so I let it slide. The course layout and location are fab.

I was unable to get the attention of three different waitstaff so basically just walked instead of getting anything to eat.

I've played this course in the past and truly enjoyed it. Even at a higher in season price. But wow I was really let down on my most recent visit.

Played The Ridge today and I’m honestly stunned at how horrendous the experience was. Let’s start with the front 9 – it looked like it hadn’t seen proper maintenance in weeks. Fairways were patchy, unkempt, and bordering on unplayable. Greens? Laughably bad. If your idea of a “premium” golfing experience includes pothole-ridden greens and zero consistency in speed or roll, then maybe you’ll feel right at home. For the rest of us who expect even basic upkeep, this was a complete joke.

And don’t even get me started on the greenskeeping staff – rude, unprofessional, and clearly more interested in flexing their egos than actually maintaining the course. Never in my life have I been treated with such open hostility by people whose job it is to care for a golf course.

The back 9 wasn’t much better – multiple dead fairways, burned-out patches everywhere, and a complete lack of attention to detail. It felt like they just gave up and decided to charge full price anyway. No pride. No effort. Just pure neglect.

For a course that has the audacity to market itself as a top-tier facility, this was one of the worst golfing experiences I’ve ever had in Colorado. The Ridge at Castle Pines North is nothing more than a scam with a fancy logo. Speaking of logos – Golf Digest should be ashamed to have theirs anywhere near this mess. If this place is on any “best of” list, you should immediately question the credibility of whoever wrote it.

Don’t waste your money, your time, or your patience. There are countless better options in the Denver area that actually respect the game and the golfers who play it. This course? It’s a total disgrace.

If you are looking to play this course wait for another few months while they fix everything under construction. Almost every hole on the back 9 was under construction, you weren’t allowed to play one of them and they are still charging a premium on Golf Now without telling you you get 17 holes with 10+ are under construction. I would like to get credit for this round since I wasn’t informed how poor things were on the construction side.

The course layout is excellent with great views and elevation changes. The staff from the bag drop, starter and pro shop were extremely friendly and helpful. This is a very fun course to play and I can’t to play it again. The only negative was that the back nine bunkers were all under construction. We were told this at checkin and did receive a discounted rate, but it did take away from the playing conditions on the back nine. That said I can’t wait to come back and play when all the work is done.
