Colorado WRX

[joshn08]

Driving doesn't bother me. I'll be in Parker Thursday, Friday, and heading back up Saturday. So any courses is fine.

[masamitsu]

Ha, I live in Parker.

[joshn08]

Oh cool haha. So anywhere is fine with me since we will be traveling the same distance

[masamitsu]

How's Green Valley Ranch? They don't aerate until next week and they have opening available. Anyone else want to join Josh and I on Saturday?

[joshn08]

green valley ranch sounds great. I've wanted to play there for a while. Do you walk or ride.

[masamitsu]

Either. If I walk I push cart it. What time works for you? I'm free all day but perfer the mornings. Anyone else want to join us?

 

FYI: I'm a Longhorn but not a Sooner hater .. except 1 weekend a year.

[joshn08]

that one weekend in October. the war begins on that day.

I'm good for any time. I was going to ask because of the price. For I could know how much to put aside. Either way is fine with me.

[masamitsu]

Looks like they have 4some available at 10:16a for $62 cart included. if you want earlier they have 4 available at 8:41. if it's just us there are plenty of time avail between 8:00 & 10:00.

[joshn08]

any of those sound good to me

[joshn08]

Nobody else wants to play with us. It would be cool to meet a few people off here.

Perfectly fine with 2 people though.

[joshn08]

Alright will do

[MileHighClub]

Don't know if you guys are playing Sunday but I wanted to make you aware of a great deal. The two courses at Keystone have a special rate through coloradoavidgolfer.com for the next few weeks at $52.80 (green fees and cart). That is a heck of a deal at two of our finest courses.

If I didn't already have a tee time at Lakota Canyon, I'd be interested. We are headed to St. George for a week of golf.

I don't blame you. I hear Lakota is awesome. Hopefully they aren't getting snow tonight.

[masamitsu]

I booked a a tee time for Josh and I are GVR at 10:35am on Sat. At this time the other two slots are open if anyone is interested.

[joshn08]

I think it would be cool if we started a Colorado WRX Golf League. Different course every week and we talk to those courses and set up prices and stuff like that. I would be up to start talking to courses about it.

[masamitsu]

Great idea.

[joshn08]

My dad is coming to play to fill a spot. So we have 3 now.

[joshn08]

Had a good time on Saturday. We should plan another date for the future where more people can come. Enough in the future so we can schedule it and put it in our schedules and that current tee times don't interfere.

[masamitsu]

I'd definitely be in that!

My dad lives in collins and daughter in Windsor. I'm in next spring when the wife gets an assignment back to the Springs and I have full access to the USAFA so we can do the blue and silver for all interested.

I would definitely be interested in playing the Eisenhower Blue and so would GolfWRX member rbrb. Keep us in mind. Thanks.

[joshn08]

[I_HATE_SNOW]

The blue course is one of the best I've ever been on, have fun!

I'm in Parker and can generally play during the week. If you're down this way, shoot me a PM.

[masamitsu]

Josh, Im up for it. I'm up in the mountains until tomorrow but could be available on Saturday.

[joshn08]

I'll get back to you about Saturday. I dont know if I can afford that right now

[joshn08]

can't believe I've been gone so long and I'm still the last person to respond in this thread. Come on people.

Another Parker-ite here.

After a long hiatus, I recently joined a traveling golf league where we play various courses around the area on Saturday mornings (sometimes Sundays, sometimes both). First tournament is 5/5 at Saddle Rock, and the "tour championship" is at Castle Pines Golf Club (The International course) in October. One tournament I'm looking forward to is playing both Riverdale courses on the same day.

Because of other commitments, I usually only have time to hit Family Sports for a quick 9 every other Sunday afternoon (if I'm lucky). Now that I'm graduating from graduate school this May, my calendar will open up quite a bit.

I must say this past winter was truly awful. Normally I can hit the links once or twice, but everything was pretty much covered in snow until early March. And the skiing wasn't all that great this season, either. What a double whammy.

Just happened to stumble across this thread as it came up in the main forum index. Joshn08, I think most people like me just don't realize that this area of the forum exists since it doesn't get much traffic.

Pseudoswede, tell me more about this league you're in, sounds interesting! Especially the part about Castle Pines, been wanting to play that for years!

I was a member at Green Gables for a bit until it sadly closed last year, so now I'm back to the muni ranks. There are some great public courses in the Denver area though, and I live near downtown so I travel all over to play, whatever is available and has a good deal. I used to play in the Westminster mens league at Legacy Ridge and Heritage at Westmoor, a couple of my favorites. Colorado National, GVR, RD Dunes, were a few of our other regulars, as well as the city munis occasionally.

Last weekend I played South Suburban for the first time, for some reason I had never made it down there before. Really liked that course, and they even rolled the greens so they were super fast, a rare treat here in the Spring. Good condition overall as well for so early.

It would be nice to get a good discussion going here regarding the area course conditions, when they aerate, etc.
