CommonGround Golf Course

Its a challenge to play. the pro shop is good. staff is friendly. Restaurant staff is amazing. the par 3 is challenging. the practice facilitys are great.

The place was ok. It seems to attract the top contenders for «biggest douche bag on a public course». This goes for the men and the women. Try minding your own business on the driving range and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

This course is pretty nice. But… I came to play on a Tuesday, course is nearly empty. I think I know why. $ 52 to WALK on a Tuesday?! Really!!! When I asked why the price is so high for a weekday, they said some guys name that I have never heard of.
Maybe you should charge a little better price, maybe you could fill the course then.
Oh, and they tried to compare it to GVR, lmfao, no way in hell this is any where close to GVR.
I don’t dislike this course but I do think these guys think to highly of it.
Cheers!

The golf course is great. The staff on the other hand? Some of the staff are awesome. All of the people at the front desk and snack bar rock. The actual managers, though? Nope! The managers at this course sure do their job, but they can be pretty rude about it! Apparently it’s okay in these manager’s minds to interrupt someone in the middle of a golf shot to ask «why the hell are you parked thirty yards or closer to the green?» I understand if you don’t want carts on your green, but you’re really going to interrupt me in the middle of a golf shot thirty yards away from the green to make me move my cart to the path? Despite this, the course is pretty good, and it’s in a convenient location, so we’ll probably be back.

Common Ground has become one of the greatest public golf courses in the United States. A premier golf architect (Tom Doak) re-​designs a former course into a challenging course for all levels of play right in the heart of Denver.
Very walkable and junior Caddies available create one of the best golf experiences in the State. Thanks to the Solich Brothers and their belief in the Evans Scholars Caddie program Common Ground is able start young men and women on a path to receiving a scholarship to CU.
Common Ground is for the beginner or expert, everyone at this course including all the employees are dedicated to the game of golf and having fun.
I am proud to make Common Ground my home course and I am sure you will enjoy it too.

The course is nice, and if you are a CGA member the price is fine ($ 42), same goes for twilight (about $ 30). They have a program where you can get a free caddie (you just have to tip), and even though the caddie I had was not as good as I would have liked or expected, it was still pretty awesome to have someone else lugging my bag around all afternoon. The par three course is free for kids, which is amazing, and the staff is nice.

I am afraid to review this so highly to avoid having more people play here as it is already super busy. For the price this is the best track in Denver, and maybe Colorado. This course is so well designed, you will use every club in your bag. It will also require you to use driver on almost every hole, but will give you a large, fair landing area and it won’t penalize you if bomb a drive. No stupid bunkers placed at 300 yards at this course! This is true golfers course, and the cheapest Tom Doak designed course you will find in the nation. Love this course, so stay away so I can get a tee time!

Maybe it’s just early in the season but I don’t think I’ve seen that much bird crap at a pond before. There’s more bird crap than on a park statue.

If you like 5 hour rounds of golf and an unreasonably rude staff this is the place for you. Scheduled 2 tee times today (Sunday September 9^th) and am a repeat customer at the golf course. Was really excited to take some folks from out of town to play. Only had 5 golfers so we were a 3 and a 2 teeing off at 10:30 and 10:40. Pace of play was brutal!!! Every time I saw a Marshall they were hovering over the stationary cart girl in the middle of the course. 2 hours and 50 minutes to finish the front nine.
On # 15 we decided to play as a five-​some because the wait times on the Tee box were painful. played a whopping four holes as a five-​some and were assaulted by the staff when we finished. Keep in mind even as a five-​some we waited almost 5 minutes on every tee-​box to tee off. The girl in the club house absolutely berated us! (for playing 4 holes as a five-​some mind you) She was physically shaking when she spoke to us. Probably not the best person to be greeting and meeting the public.
One of the marshals, after we finished, also had some choice words about our five-​some specifically highlighting the five hour round. I walked up to the two-​some in front of us (the 10:20) and asked how long there round was and they said 5 hours… Hum…
Ovoid this golf course like the plague. I hate to say it but this was my 5^th round at common grounds and will never play there again. There are considerably better courses, that have hosted USGA tournaments in Denver where myself and my numerous Avid golfers will be spending our discretionary golf dollars in the future.
Thanks!!!

Certainly overpriced. I’d play here a lot more if it wasn’t $ 50. Good course though. Makes you think about what shot to hit. Some holes are really easy, some are a bit more tricky. Greens are huge and extremely undulating, bunkers are deep and all over the place, so certainly not an easy course.

I agree. It is beyond overpriced. Used to be a crappy $ 20 course called Mira Vista, before they redid the greens, grew more grass and more than doubled the price.
I couldn’t comprehend how they turned a $ 20 course into a $ 50 course so I finally played it despite the price.
It’s a nice course, don’t get me wrong, but $ 30 – 35 is a more accurate price for this offering.
Not only that, but it’s really short, and fairly easy. Even with the harder greens — which are nice — the par 4’s are short and not much of a challenge.
Hard to justify spending that much money when you can get green fee and cart specials at courses like Murphy Creek and Saddle Rock for $ 40 total.
Can even play The Heritage with a coupon for $ 40.
The price point really sucks, because I live nearby and would play often if the price justified the offering… but it simply doesn’t.

Way over priced… This place is crazy !! it was built to exppse golf for the average golfer but it costs 52 dollars to play !!!. The CGA got it all wrong !!!
looks like a maintenance nightmare with greens that big !!! Will never play there again… They need to lower the green fee to about 30 — 35 $. The common golfer will have a horrible experience on greens that difficult… just a crazy place… stupid…
Why play here when i can play many BETTER golf courses for 25 — 35 dollars ??? it is a rip off !!!
