Itching to get out of the house and into the mountains, my parents, husband and I opted for a day on the range at Evergreen Golf Course! Here are some things to know:
1) Because this is a regulation course, online tee-times fill up fast. I recommend signing up (for free) as a City of Denver golf member, which allows for a few extra days to reserve desired tee times - rather than the allotted 7 day reservation time.
2) The greens are FAST, furious and just plain hard. To get our money's worth, we played 18 holes and each hole was elaborately designed, pretty difficult and fast, which made for a wild ride! In fact, one hole literally made golfers to hit their ball over a massive rock structure (with an arrow painted on the rocks to show there to aim your ball over) which seemed impossible! However, we did our best and still had fun - but be prepared to lose a fair share of balls!
3) Staff is super pleasant, abides by all COVID laws and requirements and made our experience that much better. Also a plus, the beverage cart girl stops by often, has a massive inventory of drinks and food, and allows patrons to "add to your tab" and payoff at the pro shop.
4) Rooftop bar for drinks and food after! Indoor dining is off limits, but the spacious outdoor patio and rooftop are open for enjoyment.
5) Be aware of wildlife! Yes, just a week before we played, a man (who I can only assume was being disorderly) was pierced in the kidneys by an Elk. Various type of wildlife can be found on or near the course, so be cautious of your surroundings.
With Colorado weather allowing for all-year round golf, I know we'll be back! read more
