Green Valley Ranch Golf Club

With my bf gearing for a golf tournament we’ve spent our weekends lately (weather allowing) driving some golf balls at the range or doing some putting on the green. It can be fairly pricey to play here; one hour of range/​green time is ~$ 30 for two. They have an attendant that will come by and fill your bucket as your driving them down the range. The greens are all quite nice and very well maintained. Make sure to have proper attire for this course/​range; no jeans and a collared shirt are a must for all patrons. Definitely a great way to spend a Sunday morning with my other half, even if he can drive a ball further than me! ;-)

I played here twice in April with some classmates, and walked both times. I don’t like to spend a ton on golfing which is why we went during the week. Since it was the ‘off season’, we were able to play for $ 32 one round and $ 22 another. Definitely look for deals online before booking because I know this course is usually around $ 50+ during the summer.
The range is nice, and is included with the greens fees, so get there early to practice a bit! The practice greens are great as well, with a couple of chipping greens and a large putting green. Don’t forget to wear a collared shirt as part of the dress code, even if you are just going to hit some range balls.
I would suggest buying a course layout book for the round, with yardage markers from points in the fairway as well as a layout of the green. Knowing the green before hitting your approach shot here is very important for setting yourself up to putt. Not a super long course, I found myself hitting a 5 wood off the tee a lot to keep it straight and usually only had 130 – 170 left into the green. The greens are not super difficult, but are very large with big slopes in certain areas, which is why knowing the layout and pin location is helpful. Sometimes it is much better to go over the green and have a pitch from the upper tier, rather than have a 40 foot putt from the lower tier.
Overall the staff is friendly and helpful, and the course is in great shape, so get out there and hit ‘em long and straight!

So apparently there’s a dress code here even when you want to pound a few balls at the driving range. Collar shirt and no denim. Pay by the hour here and they even have an attendant to refill your balls. Nice looking place compared to others I’ve been to. Bartender was nice, drinks aren’t too bad in terms of pricing.

Course is good however the starter was rude. Not sure what I did but pay my money to play. Show some respect

This place is one of my faves in denver for sure!!! Staff is friendly and course always plays rather quick (4 – 430 hours tops). Thats also on weekends! They also have a par 3 course that is great if you have kids

An unpleasant experience. First, we paid for range balls with our greens fees, but the range was closed. Even worse, the marshals were rude and harassed many of the players in our tournament group to the point that one player quit after playing only 8 of 18 holes. Recreational golfers don’t need this.

I love my little snobby golf course. It has the best best practice facility, for $ 12 it’s all you can hit golf balls at the range. Once may find better deals on
, but it’s normally about $ 60 with cart to play here. This is were the you can see Elway play during the Colorado Open. The greens are in great shape, don’t have to worry about putting in a rice patty field.
But heads up, no jeans allowed for my fellow redneck friends who like to go casual. You’re better off picking up some Subway down the street, rather than the bar food they have there.

I got $ 55 with a cart to play here on a weekday mid-​morning which I thought was a very good deal. This course is in wonderful condition and superbly maintained. You’ll have a really hard time finding any part of the golf course that’s in less than perfect condition. Tees, fairways, greens, bunkers, whatever else you might find, hard to get much better. I found the staff very friendly and approachable which I always like at a golf course, and I chuckle at how the starter always says on the intercom, «Green Valley Ranch is HONORED to welcome (insert name here) to the 1^st tee.» Now the reason why I only go with 4 stars isn’t necessarily the golf course’s fault, but it was the only thing that bothered me here. I have never come across a golf course that has bugs that attack you so frequently. Every hole from beginning to end, there were either big mosquitoes or horseflies buzzing for me, and a couple places on my body are going to be itching for a while now as a result. Again, not Green Valley Ranch’s fault, but it was bad enough where I took notice of it and took away a perfect 5 star rating.

This is an A+ course.
No matter your skill level GVR has something to offer.
The staff is by far the BEST and most FRIENDLY in town. They always treat my friends, my girlfriend, and myself with the upmost respect.
We have been members here for nearly a year and we are planning on signing up again. Why you ask…5 tee locations make it always fun and different. Fairways are always on point. Greens are the best in Denver, hands down!
The practice area is amazing, range, putting area, and even a dope a$$ chipping area.
The academy is top notch and the real deal!
Don’t mess with the rest, only buy membership from the best, GVR!
Best course in the metro for sure!!!

Colorado is known for it’s beautiful mountains and its awesome breweries, and it’s sunny 300 days out of the year… hence the reasons my friends and I decided to play a round of golf [my first i might add!] right down the road from home. Here’s the breakdown:
1. The course itself is nice, well groomed and easy to get from A to B. We chose to not rent a golf cart, but walk the nice course :)
2. The service is friendly, full of information and very helpful. I especially liked the man’s smile behind the desk the pro shop.
3. It’s decently cheap to play 9 holes, at $ 10 a person!
Just a note: They require all players to wear a collared shirt and NO jeans :)

This is a very good Denver golf course. To Dano, who claims this is a «goat track», I suggest you look at the news and see what type of weather Colorado has been getting. Dry, no rain, no humidity, hot. Not ideal conditions for keeping a golf course in good shape. Compare that to SC where you’re from and your little brain should begin to understand why a course would be in better shape in that climate. The course is in worse shape than in prior years, yes. As a resident of Colorado and knowing our dry and hot summer, I can fully understand why that’s the case, however.
To Derek, how was the staff rude? Did you request to leave early before your time and they had no space so they said no? Did you want to get a «deal» and they refused? Did they not find your golf club so you think they stole it? Please elaborate in your review. Just saying they are «rude» does no one any good. I have had a few instances of bad customer service from some staff, but the staff as a whole is accomodating as can be reasonably expected and kind to those who don’t come in expecting the world. Come to think of great staff, I wonder what happened to Tony, he was always the best guy there. I haven’t seen him at all this year, hopefully he went on to something bigger and better.
In response to «ghetto» and «thug golf course» comments, you should take your racist attitude back to the 1950’s. You just say that because there are black people there and Green Valley Ranch is in an area with a higher percentage of blacks than other parts of Denver. You want your uppity white boy golf? Join a private club so the riff raff won’t bother you. I feel sorry for your racism in this day and age. You obviously don’t feel comfortable around black people and consider them all thugs and ghetto.
Now my own review. This is a very good golf course. It can be a bit steep to play during the ideal times, but online specials and promotions they run make it all very worth it. Getting an early twilight time cuts the price in half usually if you don’t mind golfing after 4pm. This is one of the few daily fee golf courses I can think of that offer free range balls with the green fees. The practice area is considerably nicer than other courses and the par 3 course for a $ 10 day pass is a steal compared to Harvard Gulch or other local par 3 courses. The course conditions are usually amazing (except when there’s no rain to be had and the high temps are above 90 and even above 100 for a couple months). Yes, you have to wear a collared shirt and no denim is allow on the golf course anywhere, even to practice, but I guess that just adds to the «ghetto» and «thug» of this place, right Derek?

Had a lesson here via my most awesome complimentary Sassy Golf membership — Thank you Unilocal!
The course is beautiful. Simply Beautiful.
The golf academy is fantastic. The setup is weatherproof. The view of the course is still awesome (from the teaching nooks). They have cameras/​editing booths setup to show each student how to change their stance, improve their swing and basically what they look like when they are playing. It’s a great tool (very hi-​tech).
They have 18 holes, and a 3 par course, and lots of practice space outdoors.
It’s basically a beginners dream course.
Love!

This course is pretty sweet. You can have fun on the field or get in get practice at their sweet multi-​faceted practice area: short game, range, putting green. The practice area isn’t some small add on, it’s huge with space for everyone.
I didn’t have much time to spend here… i had a plane to catch but next time, i will definitely explore the practice area.
There are a couple of holes where the course designer wants you to tee off one way but after having course knowledge, you will know how to play it more effectively. The greens didn’t hold for me so it’s better to hit before the green and let it roll forward unless it’s a back tee.
They have a 3 hole challenge: 16, 17 and 18. If you par all 3, you get a free drink at the clubhouse.
The clubhouse has an cabin feel to it but still fully serviceable. People at the pro shop were gr8. I would def come back and play the course. I want another shot at this course.

I just swung into this place to hit some balls on the driving range to kill some time on a weekend while I was in town for business. Unfortunately, my solid color t-​shirt was not appropriate, and they requested that I get a collared shirt, just to use their driving range. I’d expect that if I was going to play on the course, but I think this place may be way too stuffy if you can’t get a bucket of balls for the driving range without a collared shirt. Calm down a little. This isn’t Augusta.

This is a great course. The layout is well constructed and it felt like there was a lot of variety in the holes, unlike other courses where the par 4s can all start to run together. A couple very challenging holes, a few that are ripe for the taking and some in between, depending on how accurate you are off the tee. I will say, it probably needs to be played a few times so that you know where the garden spots are, it’s not always obvious from the tee box and what you think are great tee shots can turn out to be less than ideal.
One thing I really like is that it’s a pretty darn good walking course. The walk to the first tee is a hike, as is the transition between 1 & 2. But after that, each tee was very accessible from the previous green. I also like that in some spots they have laid out wood chip trails to ease the walking experience, rather than forcing you to walk on the cart path or through deep grass. Very nice experience.
Also felt that it is a great bargain for a top notch course with all the amenities and complimentary range balls. This very well could be my home course here in Denver.

Booked GVR on a last second deal from
, price was $ 57 including cart w/​gps and unlimited range balls.
For Downtown Denverites, this course is out there all the way by the airport, but easily accessible of the highway. Friendly staff checked us in and surprisingly the course was not busy, they told us no one was infront of us or behind us so we could go whenever we wanted.
The course itself is really well kept, the fairways were accommodating, however if you verged of the fairway your ball was lost in tall grass/​straw. The layout made you think, lay-​up? or drive? and how will the sand trap come into play. Speaking of sand this is the ONLY course I have played in CO which had real sand, not that hard stuff.
Greens were pretty large, so getting on was pretty easy, but not a gimme for 2-​puts.
Par 3s are long, Par 4’s can be had and I dont know about that 600+ yard Par 5 on 18, that gobbled up 2 balls!
Overall great golf course. I’d give it a 5 if the cart-​girl didnt stop serving at 3, and the food at the clubhouse were better

Great course, Perry Dye lay out, home of Colorado State Open and numerous other events. Course is relatively flat with ample fairways, receptive large greens. Difficult par 3’s, a variety of par 4’s and fun par 5’s including No. 18 that measures 608 yards. Super friendly, helpfull staff throughout the course from Pro Shop to Starter to on course Marshalls. A great golf experience at a more than reasonable price. No matter where you are, it is worth the drive. Head Pro Matt Bryant is there to answer questions and assist, super guy to talk to. Oh, also a great practice area. No negatives at this track.
Also a wonderful restaurant, try the Pesto Chicken Sandwich, it is great.
