    Chipping Green! Neat!
    Carly W.

    Murphy Creek Golf Course is GORGEOUS! I stopped in this past weekend to snag some practice time at the driving range while the BF was in Colorado Springs playing a course with th guys. Here's the highlights: ++ The greens are well maintained! Heck, everything is well maintained! ++ There's tons of signage pointing you in the direction you need to go. ++ Incredibly friendly staff! ++ Well stocked pro-shop. ++ A mere $9 for a bucket of balls. Yay! ++ An awesome chipping green that has some great practice features for all skill levels. I can't wait to come back for another day at Murphy Creek Golf Course's range and to hit up the par 3!

    What an awesome golf course!!! Thought the course was beautifully maintained with incredible views. Also super reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back

    What a beautiful course situated in a serene area. It provides an escape from the city while also offering a well kept course to keep your game fresh. I took a few lessons from Leslie, head pro, and she was very patient and knowledgeable on how to teach a newbie. I've been here many times to watch my husband from the sidelines, but am excited to get out on the course more myself!

    Great course with challenging shots, makes you plan ahead and think about the shot you take. Greens were extremely fast, very tough to read with multiple breaks within one putt. Nonexistent trees can lead to windy play as it did for us on the last 3 holes, the wind caused our shots to go anywhere the wind took them. Great value for the money on a quality course in aurora. Other courses around here might be a little cheaper but they don't offer the challenges that Murphy Creek does

The staff are amazing, and go out of their way to ensure that everything is explained and you are set up to have a good time. It was very busy the night we went, but that wasn't an issue since you reserve your space ahead of time. We did both axe throwing and a bay rental for an hour. Renting a golf bay is incredibly cost effective since the cost does not change based on how many people you have (you can have up to 8). And even though I called it a golf bay there are TONS of options to play. The food and drinks (which you can order through a QR code) are also great. We had some wings and they were delicious. TL:DR - an awesome option for a night out with built in activities

A huge thing that sets this indoor mini golf a part from others is their technology. There's a chip inside the golf balls. each person has a turn until they get their ball in the hole. Unlike regular golf, the more points you get here, the better. There are also opportunities for bonus points which helped me win my round. The prices are reasonable as well. We played a 9 hole course for $14 each. There are several courses too. You can expect security guards outside checking ID's because this is a 21+ spot. There are a couple of bars inside along with a restaurant. Can't comment on food because we just golfed and had a good time. Lots of places to lounge! great spot for date night or a day out with friends.

It took us a little longer than 30 minutes to get through 9 holes, but for $14 a game it was nice to get a taste of what it was like. I would absolutely return, and plan to take advantage of their $25 play all day deal, and also their happy hour. This is not your usual putt putt place. Everything is electronic, and your ball has a microchip in it, so it tracks your score. This was awesome for me, as sometimes it didn't record my strokes and gave me a slight advantage, although I still lost. There are screens that tell you what to do, and hazards or super tubes that if you have decent aim, can benefit you greatly. Our favorite was the pac man and Tetris themed holes. They also had a skeeball hole that was fun as well. This is great for a date night- I will be back for sure!

I'm certain the virtual golf is nice because it seems popular at times. What needs to be addressed (first) is the menu - cold dips served that should be hot, canned jalapeños on Greek salads but no jalapeño on the nachos? But then PICKLED ONIONS on the nachos? Gross. The flatbreads are more crust than toppings (believe me we have tried it all!). The grilled cheese and tomato soup are great. Good cocktails. But they need somebody to come in and RESET that menu and the weird ingredients thrown on to things. The service is quick in my experiences but not so for my neighbors and it's like the ladies who work there ALWAYS seem like they HATE working there. No personality, no knowledge of the menu, always on cell phones. It is odd. Like zombies. And there seems like a lot of wasted space (not an issue for me). That said, our entire block will continue to walk over for grilled cheese and cocktails. Would love to see some menu upgrades and a veggie burger and just a touch more enthusiasm.

Greens were medium in terms of speed but very smooth. Fairways were great and the rough was thick. This is my favorite flat course I have played. Tom Doak is an amazing golf course architect, and this is by far the cheapest course designed by him you'll find. Greens are wild. So many reveals when you get closer or go over a ridge. Number 3 is a great par 5 with a center line bunker that messes with your layup choices, and the punchbowl green is sweet. A couple of people I played with pulled their shots left and had some really tough chips coming in. Number 10 is a short par 4 that I would play differently next time. Very wide open on the left, more that you would think. Better angle into that green where trees guards the right side. I would not hit driver and go left, leaving a flip wedge in. Hole 11, a par 5, is my favorite. Didn't hit it well off the tee and ended up in that big cross bunker. Big mound short right of the green both kicks golf balls towards the middle of the green or propels balls over the right side of the green. Water is all up the left side is the hole. Great design. Absolute brutes from hole 14 to the finish. Fun track I'll try and play every time I'm in town. Very hard to get tee times, even during the week as a single. Driving range is huge and off grass. I think I saw three chipping greens and a big putting green. Plenty of areas to practice. Great course for a push cart.

I hadn't played a pitch and putt in a long, long time, and with barely any equipment required to play, this was definitely worth a visit. Only $1 per club rental, we each chose 1 club and 1 putter. Lots to choose from, so it took us some time to choose carefully. The 1 club + putter challenge we had made for a real fun round of golf, added a layer of thinking to a fun round. The golf was great. Super casual. We came mid day on a weekday, so it was not busy. We were allowed to bring some beverages (went to nearby Denver Brew Co), and had a lot of fun. Greens are surprisingly fast, especially downhill. Bunkers had legit sand, and there is even the threat of water. We bought a 6 pack of balls in the pro shop cuz they were only $5 (only needed one each), and bought a divot repair tool ($1) because we were planning on raining golf balls on all the greens. Lol. We had so much fun, we played a second 9. Joined up this time with a third, and he was a super fun hang. Good golfer too. All tee shots are off mats, which is expected. Wasn't a problem for us. It wasn't super busy, but pitch and putt is going to attract all manner of skill levels. We had a lot of time to kill, so we were prepared to wait and chill at each hole (back in the day I'd go to places where we could be 10-15 people deep at each tee box), but it moved fast today. That said, when we were leaving, we saw a group of 4 and 5, and most looked like beginners. I have another day in Denver, we may try and play another round. If not during this trip, then for sure the next time I come. Great fun!

Great for an after work chip and putt with some beers to relax. They don't sell beers there but they allow you to bring drinks with you. It's also not bad to walk, so highly recommend making it fun with friends playing with just 3 clubs and a putter.

My kiddo just turned six and has been golfing for years now. I decided it was time to let him play a 'real adult course' after playing exclusively the First Tee par 3 courses around town. So first things first - the pro shop is out back of the building and a tiny bit tricky to locate the first time around. There's a bag drop out front, but doesn't need to be there. Just take your clubs straight back. The staff member who checked us in was very friendly. There is a discount for Junior golfers, but no such deal for veterans. All in all it was $25 to play (total for two of us) and we were able to tee off on time. The course is is great condition, and it is clear that they have a staff that cares about presentation and course management. The winding lake in the middle only brings water into play on a couple of the holes. The rest are pretty straight shots, and nothing is out of reach for most golfers. I think the longest was just short of 200 yards. We had a great day, and even though we had to wait at a number of tee boxes, the whole round only took aboutj 90 minutes. There is a very fun looking restaurant right as you step off the ninth green that we definitely want to try at some point, but it was a work day, so raincheck on that one. All in all, great experience.

    I've played a lot of public golf courses, and this was one of the most poorly managed pace-of-play…read moreexperiences I've ever seen. The round was moving at an unbelievably slow pace, with groups stacked on every tee box and waits on nearly every shot. What made the experience worse was the complete lack of logical management from the marshal and head pro. Instead of actually addressing the bottleneck or helping improve flow, they spent more time trying to justify why a 5+ hour pace was somehow "normal." At one point, despite multiple open holes ahead and obvious spacing issues, I was told I couldn't play through because it would "mess up the order." That explanation made absolutely no sense considering the course was already severely backed up and groups were sitting idle on tee boxes anyway. Rather than using common sense and customer service, the staff seemed more focused on defending the dysfunction than fixing it. Golf is supposed to be enjoyable, but spending most of the day waiting while being lectured about pace-of-play policies that clearly were not working was incredibly frustrating. A marshal's job is to keep play moving, not explain away slow golf while doing nothing to improve it. The course itself has potential, but the on-course management completely ruined the experience. Until they learn how to manage pace of play with logic and flexibility instead of excuses, I would think twice before coming back.

Loved #2, a snake-like par 5 with a big tree and center line bunker guarding the approach. 9 is another great par 5 that asks you a risk/reward question off the tee especially. 10 is a great par 4 that's hard to see how open it is off the tee. 12 is a big par 5 up the hill and around a pond. 13's par 3 pin was tucked on the right side. Really cool hole over water. 16 is the one hole I played well but would be tough to manage at times. Gets narrow off the tee then a group of trees guards 50% of the green. Some of the trees are in the middle of the fairway. I don't mind the design, but the trees need to be trimmed a bit in my opinion. 18 is a strong finishing par 5 around a marsh. Great conditions when we played. Not the fastest greens, but I was told to play it right around the Colorado Open they host each year. I saw several hidden tee boxes they probably use for a tournament that big. Only downside to the course was the houses on pretty much every hole. The Trackman driving range was a nice bonus. Nice extra practice area for members too. Definitely on the short list of Denver golf courses when I come back!
