Grand Elk Golf Course

Prairie dog central. Lost a couple of golf ball down critter holes.
I played the course better than the last time a couple years ago. Didn’t lose as many balls in the native grasses as before. Learned the importance of finding the fareways.

There were a few rough spots on the greens, but for this time of the year, they were in good shape. Great day, but a little windy. All the staff was great.

You gotta hit greens and fairways. The native grasses are thick and tall and nearly impossible to find balls in it. Other than, the course is in perfect shape and well laid out.

Great Craig Stadler track, quite playable with some interesting challenges. A few hidden features that can trash your score; lots of places to AVOID hitting it, and some are not obvious. Very friendly, accommodating staff.

Golf Pro Mike was excellent to work with.
Course appeared very well run; everything the way it should be in my opinion.

Really loved the front 9 as it was pretty straight forward. The back seemed to be a totally different course with numerous blind shots and in some cases penalized for a good shot.

Greens were in great condition and very fast. Above the hole at all and you may three put.

Good experience overall.

A nice course with some unique challenges. Played it with my son. We both enjoyed the courses condition, pace of play, practice facilities, and layout. Definitely some blind shots and challenging holes, but the GPS on the cart helped.

My main warning is that you need to come prepared. We came to the area for the national parks, but added in this unexpected round out golf. They are very strict down the polo enforcement. Thus, both my son and I had to buy a shirt. Cheapest in the clubhouse was $79 each. Rental clubs were nice, but did not come with any of the supplies, so I had to buy golf balls as well. Value for the round was good, especially with the junior price, but after all the add-ons, it was quite an expensive day.

We really enjoyed playing Grand Elk. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The course is in top shape and the layout is very challenging. Would recommend this course to all golfers.

The course is a challenging layout with wicked rough but very playable. Need to get a beverage cart on the course.

Played from Frisco to Steamboat to Eagle - great value- great conditions Pole creek

Good: As many have noted, very nice design and condition.
Drove almost two hours to hear: Sorry, only 9 holes open due to paving contractor showing up unexpectedly.
Just a pile of BS. No first class facility disrespects their paying customers with this nonsense. When you have tee times booked for over $100 a round, you notify all customers on advance and offer a refund as an option.
Bottom line is that contractor should have been told to come at a later date. Nope, five star course with one star management.
Won't be back. Beware!

I enjoy this course. No trees, and kind of links-like.

1st and foremost the Mike and his staff were amazing. My girls and I played on 2 occasions while visiting. The view was amazing. The course was in great shape. It was tough if you didn't land you tee shots in the right place. It was a ton of fun though. I would definitely play it again next time I'm in the area.
