Reviews
Awesome course. The greens were very well maintained and rolling quick. Two very different nines, front is more walkable/traditional, back gets into the canyon and is very dramatic and scenic. I heard the county bought the course and is planning a major irrigation update which is great to hear. Would 100% recommend this course!
I've played every public golf course in the area and I give Rifel five stars. The course is not pristine, there's some dry spots and some of the sand traps are like dirt pits but that was okay with me. The staff are so friendly, including the ranger who told us to have a great time every time he saw us and didn't hassle us. The back nine through the canyons, the view is spectacular. The greens are in great shape and roll true. The best part is the value. $77 for eighteen holes with a cart is the best value in the valley.
Wonderful experience!! Everyone from the pro shop to the grill were friendly, welcoming and professional. The course was great. Especially Beautiful back nine. My girlfriend and I rented clubs ( brand new taylor made) which we loved. Hope to return and play many more rounds in the future. Can't give a high enough recommendation!!
I really enjoyed this course, it has the bones and layout of a phenomenal track. The front is just okay, the back 9 is quite memorable. I want to give more stars but they simply just need to water the course. It’s burnt out and lacking grass in some places. But $50 with a cart isn’t bad for what you get
Cody and all of the staff at the club went and always have gone above and beyond every time I have been there to play on numerous tournaments over the years. I can't say enough about how they run things. Being on the board at Steamboat golf club i see a lot of things that I would love to impliment at the club in steamboat springs. From the way the inside staff treats guest and how much hard work the superintendent and outside staff take care of the course. I know the restraunt is a sperate entity but they sure do it right there also and work well together and do it all right from what I can see. Can't thank you all enough, Doug
