36 on a Monday in Denver - Where?

[JLew]

I'm flying in for work for a couple days and I have an early AM flight on Monday (think I land about 7:30 local time). Monday will be a day to kill so I'm looking to head straight to a course and hopefully play 36 that day.

 

I'm not familiar with the golf in Denver but right now it looks like Riverdale might be my best option to do this... play Knolls in the morning and then Dunes in the afternoon.

 

Anyone have any other ideas?

 

Thx.

Recommend Fossil Trace in Golden, CO. You can do without the Knolls course, the Dunes will be great.

Commerce City to Golden would be a little bit of a drive. So maybe check out Buffalo Run instead if you don't want to drive.

36 holes at those facilities? I'm trying to stay close to the airport (if possible) and avoid driving for the second round unless it's close (I won't have a car so I'll likely be doing Uber).

Dunes course could be paired fairly easily with any of the following:

 

CommonGround

Murphy Creek

Green Valley Ranch

Buffalo Run

Heritage Todd Creek

 

Dont bother with the Knolls course

Riverdale Dunes and Green Valley Ranch. Easy for a 36 day. And good courses too.

This! GVR is a very good course, as is the Dunes.

Looks like GVR and Dunes it is... thanks for the tips!

Denver guys correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't GVR offer a free beverage if you par the last three holes?

 

We played with one of the assistants last year and I thought that was what he told me(passive brag alert here, I parred the last three but had to get on the road for my 200 mile drive home, so no drink).

You are correct.

I've never parred the last 3, do they keep track via the cart scoring? What if you're walking?

I don't think there's anything wrong with the Knowles if you want to get 36 in at one location. It's decent for the price. Green Valley Ranch is probably about 10-15 minutes and a 20-25 dollar Uber ride away though.

I did it once and just showed them my card. No questions asked, brewski on the house.

I booked GVR for the morning and plan to head to Dunes in the afternoon. I'll either Uber or might just bite the bullet and rent a car for the day.
