Pine Creek is a good course.. not a great course. The layout is awesome with some brilliantly designed holes. However, the conditions are always a worn. It might be the dry climate Co Springs gets but that doesnt change the fact. Way over priced as well. We used to play her for $40 a round...what happened? No improvements have been made to the facilities. There are better courses nearby that will be a better option.

If you havent played here before, you better get the course book. There are several holes where you have to be perfect just to see the green. Otherwise I liked most of the layout. I also didnt like the par 5 with the 10 yard wide fairway. It was in typical muni shape. Probably wont be back.

I played my first round of golf since January and it was at Pine Creek. This place is a well-hidden secret. It doesnt stand out on Google Maps but I recommend you just Google it and make your way there. Solid safety plans in place. You check in at a slide window to the golf shop. Arrows on the floor to guide you straight ahead to your golf cart or back to the parking lot. The course is one of my new favorites. I love the elevation changes. Fun to drive from tees 100 or so above the fairway. With the rain this summer the grass and greens are in great shape. The greens are a little faster than most public courses and very predictable. Its good prep for those special outings to the high end PGA Tour courses. Congrats to the team there.

Interesting take. I only had a chance to use the chipping and putting green.Rolling *fast*. Definitely an 11.5-12.Would love to come back and play.4/5 due to the putting green. Wasn’t the best practice facility. For how fast those greens are rolling I would have loved to see a larger area with more options to practice.Got a bit rained out.Someone there wasn’t so friendly to me. So that didn’t help with my experience. Guys in the pro shop seemed nice.

I wanted to give Pine Creek a good review, but I cant.The course was in terrible shape, lots of dead spots, lots of under repair spots in the middle of the fairways if not just straight up dead spots, for a course that wants $79 a round there are plenty of places in COS I can go to that are in much better shape. Also didnt help that on a holiday we didnt see the cart for the entire front 9. The marshals werent maintaining times, we were waiting on almost all tee boxes for 5-10 minutes before we could tee. Doubtful Ill or anyone in my foresome will be back

Booked through the Tee Off app. Was told on arrival that we weren’t in the system despite having a confirmation in email, and thought the app. Was told if we wanted to wait almost four hours we could play then. If you’re not going to stand by a third party site and honor reservations... don’t use it. I should have known that this course was going to be a disaster after reading all of the other 1 star reviews. Book a round anywhere else. You’ll be glad you did.

Fun course with interesting shots and a great view of the mountains. Rough was thick and most greens were in good condition. The pro shop staff was friendly and helpful for our first time golfing the course.

Played here many times over the last 20 years but never again. Played Sunday and had to wait every hole it was so backed up. The starter told us before teeing off the group in front of us was playing a best ball so may take some time. Had one of our guys no-show and they charged card full price. Never had them do that before. Act like the are an upscale course but just average. James Pennington.

Im sorry but as a golf pro the customer service here is terrible. I have worked in the industry for years and after being paired with 2 other golfers who I was told was doing 18 so I paid for 18 holes only was doing 9 holes. When I got to the 10th tee I saw 2 groups of foursomes waiting, 1 foursome on the fairway and 1 foursome on the green. I went to the window since the club house is closed and asked for a rain check. They said they only give them if they it is raining. That is the worst way to keep clients coming back. I am appalled at how they handled this. I called the head pro and he isnt in today so Im waiting on his call back and will either change this review or make it even more well known how bad they are at treating people who pay over $60 to play golf in October.

A good alternative when theres snow further North, and a great variety of holes. Friendly staff and clubhouse.

I will never play this course because the management is garbage. They now will not let you practice putting unless you have a tee time. You can only get better at golf by practicing. They have eliminated that option. How does this help promote the sport? I have spent hundreds of dollars at this course, but not anymore. I will never set foot on this property. Hope they fire the idiot in charge before he totally ruins the place.

Player beware, when renting clubs take pics before and after. My cousin was out of town and he had to rent clubs. When we got back to the clubhouse after we golfed 9. The guy said that we were missing a 9 iron and a 56, he never had those in his bag in the first place. He was going to charge him 210$ for the clubs that we supposedly lost.

Nice course, some homes are a little close for those in the party who like to spray a few. Tough nine with a marsh out and back.

Great food, people, and golf. Coarse is in great shape. Very pretty design. Love to play here.

Disgraceful service. We booked through teeoff.com and our reservation was not in the system. We showed a confirmation of booking and it was met with complete indifference by the person at the counter. Told me it wasnt his issue and I should contact the booking website. Very dissapointing as we drove an hour to get there. Will be telling everyone we know not to go to this course.

Great experience and the course is in great shape for October.

Zander and Jim are the rudest people at this business. They have poor customer service skills. We only played 2 holes and Jim was rude and belligerent to our group. Zander is high on his so-called power high and has no regard for customers. Never playing here again. This course acts like their an elitist course. They are average.

This is the worst golf club of all time. We had a group of 8, 4 riders and 4 golfers. Even though we followed every rule and kept the riders separate from the golfers, we were constantly accused of having 8 golfers. We were eventually kicked off the course for breaking no rules. The ranger who escorted us said my grandfather threatened him personally, which he absolutely did not. This all also happened on Father’s Day.

Very good grass golf range!

This has always been one of my local favorites. Although it’s a little over priced, it’s still in the best shape of all the public courses.

A nice challenging course with reasonable rates. Its usually in pretty good condition. After tuning up my game at Patty Jewett, Ill make my way over here for a better challenge. Its more hilly than most of the other public courses in town and it seems a little more exposed to the wind, but Ive never had a bad day on this course.

Have played here maybe 10 times now, and have zero complaints. Good course, worth the money.

Dont use their online booking from their website and expect it to be correct!!! Multiple times I have used their websites booking to schedule a tee time and they never got me scheduled in. Or someone else was already scheduled during that time and it wasnt shown on the booking page. Always, always call and try to get the local person.Beyond that the course is fun to play. Challenging and green. Many tee shots require some strategy with the hazards that are in play, instead of just bombing it out there.

Awesome course. Great condition and they have a great putting/chipping green right next to the starter so you can get warm while waiting. Bring lots of balls because it is a pretty tough course with lots of hazards.

Fun course! Well manicured.

Slowest greens and driest sand pits of all time. Extremely uninspired layout and the staff was, minus the cart girls, extremely rude. We had a green supervisor follow us around for three holes just mean mugging us even though we weren’t slowing down the pace. Will never come back.

This course is the best public, non military course in Colorado Springs, no doubt. But the course does play like a 50-60 dollar course. The sand is not ideal, and the course faces drainage issues, leqving a lot of areas incredibly soggy. But the views of the mountains are gorgeous and the winding design is great fun!

All the food is homemade with lots of care and fresh ingredients. Incredibly delicious and flavorful. Staff is friendly and beers are as cold as your ex’s heart. Totally recommend.

In this time of social distancing I want to golf alone. They group people together even if you dont want to. I waited a half hour longer to golf by myself . And still I was harrassed by the grounds keeper to group up with the 5 people in front of me. I told him I had asthma and he said everyone has problems out here. Very disappointing.

Sweet golf course but it seems every golfer there is just grumpy.

Havent been golfing in several years. Going to hit the practice range, then a couple of weeks afterwards I will play 9 holes.

Great for practicing golf, putting green is the perfect difficulty level.

Most beautiful course with stunning views. Will definitely be back again and again.

Amazing course.

Our foursome was made up of regular golfers - playing 1 to 2 times per week. Never have we experienced a round of golf like we did at Pine Creek.The cart seats were all ripped up - every single one that was available.The ladies’ tee boxes were in horrible condition.There is construction on a handful of holes.Water was pooling in many of the sand traps.Sprinklers were completely blocking the path to get from the tee box to our fairway shots - on the cart path and on the fairway.It took 5+ hours to play 18 holes! Several marshals were driving through the course, and despite telling slow groups they were holding others up, nothing was done to move those groups along. We were held up almost 10 minutes on some holes before being able to tee off. Our group finally got to a point where the ladies did not play on the last three holes, and hole 17 was skipped by the entire foursome so we could move past a group that was holding others up.When we went to speak to the Pro Shop about the issue and ask if anything could be done (since we had spent $320 total for the round), we were offered free range balls... We should have been offered a partial refund or a free round of at least 9.We don’t plan on playing at Pine Creek again.

Driving range grass and condition not great. Course is always in good shape and challenging. You can lose a lot of balls on quite a few holes if youre not straight off the tee.

Friendly staff and great course to play

Just echoing what Ms. Raugh said in her review - what a sh!t show. Over 5 hours to play a round, marshals doing nothing to speed up slow groups, construction on several holes thats been ongoing for years now. Its $30 more per foursome to play Red Hawk Ridge in Castle Rock - far nicer course, kept in excellent condition, carts arent all beat up, and the marshals keep things moving at the proper pace. Pine Creek is a complete ripoff - we wont be back.

Good 18 hole golf course with some challenging shots. Greens are faster than they appear but depends on pin location. Not too many trees in the way if you stay in the fareways.

Course was in great shape and offered great views of the mountains in the background.

Was really challenging and was absolutely beautiful but maintenance will be all around from start to finish if you have an early start.

Nice fairway. Too fast green. Really enjoyed.

Nice course in nice shape! There were lots of challenges and the green fees were very affordable! Priced like a muni and built like a semi private, I enjoyed it alot! Only downside were the mats on the range and the course was a little soggy but thats not unusual for spring in Colorado!

The pros were so friendly and helpful! Beautiful views from the course, too

Pine Creek requires some precise shot placement and a decent amount of course knowledge to shoot well. It can play rather long if you want it to which I like. The views of Pikes Peak and the surrounding valley are spectacular. This course does tend to let the conditions suffer at times so its hit or miss whether the course is worth paying full price to pay. There can also be a decent amount if slow play and golfers that dont know about play-through etiquette. The clear skimping on investing money into the course is why a star gets left out. Otherwise the layout is fun and the practice facilities are decent.

Challenging and Fun Golf Course. Not too pricey and always in great shape. Highly recommended

I dont think that the price is right for this course. However, it is one of the nicer courses in the area. Its challenging when its in good shape, but I wouldnt say its worth the money. The practice area is decent - chipping green, putting green, sub-par range with mats, but nothing spectacular.

Great overall course. Good bang for the buck.

Decent golf course with some level of difficulty. A bit pricy IMO. Lots of work being done on the 10th hole. Lots of distractions.

So yesterday May 4th I had booked 2 tee time to get some friends together before one of the friends has neck surgery, it will be his ONLY round for the year. We had 6 golfers show up and the golf shop said no problem, BIG PROBLEM Pine Creek charged my Credit card an extra $150.00 for the 2 no shows. I will dispute the charge and will NEVER golf there again THIS IS TOTAL B.S!!

This is a good course that isnt as tough as the reputation suggests. Still there are some fun challenges. It may be hard to get through a round without a lost ball or two. It seems to have less traffic than the course deserves. The staff is very friendly. I recommend a round here if it perks your interest.

FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD!!! Deserves no stars! Charged me for a cart even though I told them I was walking. The attendant then said he could not refund the cart fee because he already ran my credit card through. I could only get a voucher for the fee for future use. Talked to the manager and was told they are not set up to give refunds. So they are set up to charge extra but not fix their mistakes. Don’t do business with people like this!!!

What a awesome course! If you want a great course with views of the mountains at a fair price, come here. I loved the slope and how well it was maintained. Me and my three buddies came here from Nebraska and all agreed that it tops any if the courses we play. The staff was awesome and friendly! I will definitely be back here and will recommend this course to anyone that comes to The Springs! Theres definitely some birdies out there:)

Never in my life have I been so disrespected by a professional. Booked a tee time last minute saying I would have 2-4 people. I was told Ill put you down for 4 and you will just pay when you show up. I will get back to this in a minute.We showed up, paid for 2 people, and started our round. Pace of play was so bottled necked without out a Marshall that there was a 5-some, yes a 5-some, a 3-some, and our 2-some on the same holes all morning. We left after 12 holes (one of which was a makeshift temporary hole that is worse than chipping in the back yard). I wasnt too bummed as it was a holiday weekend. Then I get a notification from my to bank of a double charge, so i called the shop to have the second $150 charge reversed. Turns out I was charged twice for the reservation because two people didnt show. I called to obviously dispute as I was told I would only be charged in the morning for who showed up to play.This is when it all got ridiculous. The head pro explained and defended the automatic charge policy unprofessionally and then told me Id have to talk to his boss. So I got Tony, Tony then proceeded to tell me if it were him, hed call be upset with the people who didnt show, and that they have a 24 hour cancellation policy. I originally booked the night before about 15 hours before my reservation, so that wouldnt have mattered. After arguing back and forth for 5 minutes, Tony said I have a hard time believing anyone I trained would have said that about our policy, let me call them and see whats going on. So I was then put on hold.. um ok? 5-10 minutes later they couldnt find the kid who took the reservation but I was told they would call me back.At this point I asked why he was disputing this so much. I paid for people and just wanted the charge reversed as it was not explained to me this was the case or else I wouldnt have give my card info over the phone. He said I just have a hard time believing this and I dont appreciate you lying to me about that conversation. So I asked for Tonys name and his boss. His actual response:You can look it up online. Im the only one here with my name so it shouldnt be hard to find my name. And my boss is escalante golf.I asked Escalante golf is your boss?Yep. Escalante golf.So then I asked for an actual name so I could explain how disrespectful he had been and that all I cared about was getting $150 back. Tony started rattling off the corporate phone number and said he had lots of bosses and didnt think I would call them so good luck with an out of state corporate number then laughed and hung up.I definitely have called them.And I will absolutely never golf here again. If you have a strict policy that costs people $300 to play 12 holes of golf because there isnt a Marshall, then explain it to your customers before they go out on the course. Or work with them towards a resolution.What an amateur of a professional.

Course was in good shape for this time of year. Only negative was the grill snack bar I guess is in transition with new staff and they were not up to speed yet.

Nice golf course. Grill is pretty good. Prices are not too much more for burger fries combo than fast food. Their meat is real meat. Hot dogs are awesome. Staff is really nice. One of the hardest golf courses in town.

Bad management. Does not have care for customer concerns and is incredibly unprofessional in resolving them.

Pine Creek is a nice golf course. The staff is really friendly. My only complaint is the rates. There are other courses I can play in the area for less, like Antler Creek or Patty Jewett. I just wish their walking rates were less. They take great care of this course and the views are really stunning.

Be aware that if you have a group,and not all show up,they will charge the person who set up the Tee time for the no shows!!! And,that was never disclosed until after the fact.

The only comment is on hole 8 the geese have destroyed the tee box. They need to find a way to keep the geese away.

Great driving range!

Course is very well kept. The course can challenge you if you dont keep it in play, but very fun track. Only downside to the course is the pace of play in the afternoon during summer and they do not have a true membership. In place of a membership they have a playing pass that does not let you play on weekends until the afternoon.

This is a beautiful place with Gorgeous views and well-maintained Golf Course. Best course in town to improve your game.

The course looks good but they have the worst sand traps I have ever played out of. The municipal courses in the area have green and fairways just as nice and they axtuallarake their traps. For the money it cost you figure the greens keepers would pay more attention. Oh and if an employee is mowing let them go, they dont stop for you.

Booked over the phone. Nice guys in the club house. They found a time for my friends and I in between some scrambles times. Course was more challenging than I was expecting. The first cut of rough was so thick it folded over. Several blind approaches and the score card map was rubbish. We went there mid - morning and the grass was still very wet. In fact, three of the holes on the back 9 (where we started) they turned on the sprinklers while we were hitting on, or putting. Dont know if the were automate or not, but it was pretty frustrating. Decent fees, but Id try to go with someone who is familiar with the course if youre looking to try this course out for the first time.

OMG this course was a bit tough for me, tons of hills and lots of walking!

I live nearby and play Pine Creek frequently. I always find the course in excellent shape and the staff is always friendly. Course has some really beautiful holes, but a few of the fairways are a little tight with houses (seen a lot worse). Highly recommend.

The course is run by armatures. Unprofessional and don’t return phone calls. The only course in town that will not support the local community. Maybe the owners need to look at different management. It is sad becusae it is a nice course in a great community. Please don’t support this “public” course.

Great parkland golf course with some mountain course aspects and great views of Pikes Peak and the front range

The service at the pro shop and at the 19th Hole was impeccable!! Even the maintenance guys were awesome and helpful! The course is above exceptional shape!! Pricing was fantastic and beyond fair for such a beautiful course with amazing views! THANK YOU for an such awesome day!!!!!

Used to be great, now not so much But more recently they’ve definitely improved!

Outstanding course, very challenging

Really poorly run course, management is extremely rude. Sent a bunch of guest from out of town and they received substandard customer service. I would send your guests to Patty Jewett instead. This place makes the Springs look bad.

The course is good, but a little under-kept. The staff as well can good, but a maintenance guy actually yelled at me once while I was playing. Im sure he was having a bad day, but it ruined my game.

Good golf course, terrible management. Hopefully you can enjoy the golf course cuz the service and management is just bad.

Course in great shape for early April

Pretty good course. They had some construction going on from what looked like a bridge wash out. Most of the fairways seemed pretty narrow to me, but I am not an experienced golfer by any means.

Played in late July. Course was in great shape. The rough was very long cut, although I did play on Sunday, and typically the grass is all cut on a Friday in preparation for the weekend. The course is very challenging and unforgiving. It has a rating of 72.6 which should tell you something. There were very few holes that had a continuous fairway path from tee to green. Other places had the fairway pinch to 20yds wide right where youd land your tee shot. Greens were fast and well kept. Whenever they say players course or technical high handicappers (such as me) should watch out. I have more fun, and tend to score much better, on a course that is more open and more forgiving. This course is not one of those types.

Terrible management of the course and terrible customer service when trying to deal with the management of the course.

Beautiful view from driving range.

Played there for the first time with a friend from Arizona. Love the course, definitely not for beginners, and bring extra balls you will need them.

I don’t usually write reviews but the “manager” Xander really made me feel the need to. I usually book through Golf Now and take advantage of the Hot Deals but today I decided to call the course to see if they’d rather me pay them directly because they always complain about how they don’t get any of that money from golf now. Xander has repeatedly been rude and unhelpful because of using golf now. He will not let you go off early if you book a hot deal even if it’s close to your tee time. Today when his employee let me pay them directly to play instead of using golf now and it started raining during my round I asked for a rain check and he would not give it to me and was very rude about it... He would not give me his managers name or number just told me to look online and he’s in Texas! If I do play here again it will only be through a hot deal so they don’t get my money!! Thanks, Xander!!

One of my favorite courses in town. Challenging, yet a beautiful course. I would not recommend this course to a beginner.

Depending on the time of year, summer: greens are fast (people need to fix their divots more) fairways are clean and true with the undulation, ruff is exactly that; you will want to stay out of their ;). Winter: not a whole lot of attention gets paid but still a great track. Greens are unpredictable (lots of sand, slow and not true) but can still make par if get her close on the second shot (the ball still grips decently if you strike it clean). Fairways turn into link style golf, the ruff is cut down and opens up the source of play, nut cart path only can be grueling. All and all; I love this course and will play it many more times. The pro shop is warm and welcoming to all who wish to play (pretentious or not), very friendly and willing to help! 19th hole is just as nice. I am a 7 handicap

Nice track. Definitely a test

Very slow this Saturday 4 hours hole 12

Great shape this year, keep it up. Also love they are carrying Travis Matthews

Great place to play, everyone was very friendly and the course was in perfect shape, just bring a couple extra balls.

Great course. Best challenging public course in co spgs

Friendly pro-shop staff, amazing driving range and practice greens, well maintained course.

Challenging course. Take a few extra balls. It was a little flooded when we were there. Broken sprinkler line or maybe a few somewhere.

Great course that is in very good shape. Fun to play.

Fun Course. I played a night golf tournament here that was an absolute blast! Not many times do you go golfing and dont have fun.

Whooooo baby this is a tough course, also pretty slow pace of play on a busy Sunday. Minus one star for that. Great overall value though.

Rachel is the best course beer purveyor ever!

Great course. Kept in great shape. Nice staff.

Nice course with beautiful views

Challenging yet fair course. Every hole presents a different set of obstacles. You must execute and think in order to score well.

Staff could care less. They wanted to charge me 18-hole rate to play 9 holes. Nothing I can do about it. staff quoted.

Ive been in Colorado Springs for 2 months now and this is the 6th course Ive played. I will say that its the 2nd best one. Staff was friendly. Starter was extra nice. Affordable prices and for what I paid I should actually be ashamed to give it only 4 stars. The only reason Im giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it was the 2nd best course I played. Great course in a great neighborhood.
