History of the golfer who played this course:
Been playing for 6 years. Hit driver 250 to 270 yards carry. 9 iron 150 carry. average round in the low 80's

Specific likes about this course:
Plays to 7456 yards, par 72, rated 74.6/131. The course has a good bit of elevation changes for a local course here in the Denver area. Lots of high risk and reward options to deal with.

Dislikes about this course:
This course is long, and not very easy to walk. Some rather long distances from one green to the next tee box, which I don't care for as I perfer to walk. Walking this course about wore me out.

Is this course worth the fees?
This is one of the higher price courses in my area, but it lets me play a different type of course with all the elevation changes and tough holes. When my game is working, it's worth playing.

19th Hole: What extra amenities did this course offer?
There is a restaurant and pro shop on site, but I didn't use either.

Summary and opinions of this golf course:
This course was the site of the 2008 U.S Amatuer Public Links Championship last week. If you have the game to play a 7456 yard demanding course, this one will give you all you can handle. Well worth the money if you got the game. If not, better off playing an easier course for less money.
