Denver/ Aspen golf suggestions

[jimb6golf]

Heading to Denver and Aspen in a couple of weeks and looking for suggestions in the Aspen area for golf.  Saw a few that looked interesting including Aspen GC, River Valley, Snowmass Club but hoping someone can suggest a good course.  Planning to rent clubs too as I don't feel like lugging the clubs for just one round.

Ironbridge  is very cool and I did not play Lakota Canyon but it is evidently also worth playing. Redlands Mesa is further away but excellent.

We are literally discussing golf courses in/around Aspen right now in the 2022 Colorado WRX thread.

Just got back and was able to play Aspen GC.  Very nice course in pretty good condition with spectacular views around the Aspen area.  Course isn't that hard, but the greens are pretty undulating and can present some curving putts.  Rented some new Srixon ZX 5 irons that were pretty nice to use too.  You gain about 10+ yards with the altitude which is kinda fun too.  Overall a nice course and it has great views from the back deck where you can enjoy an after round beverage.  A little expensive however.

I think you've effectively summed up the "Aspen Experience" - nice, great views, a bit expensive.

 

Not much more to say, really.
