Red Hawk
Ridge
An
Idyllic Location, Superb
Conditioning and a Jim Engh
Course Distinguish this Castle
Rock Golf
Community
Nestled in the thriving Castle
Rock community, 20 minutes south
of Denver and 30 minutes North of
Colorado Springs, lies one of
Colorado's most popular public
courses, Red Hawk Ridge at Castle
Rock. Golfers have replaced the
cattle that once ranged over the
lush meadows beside the old rock
quarry, scrub oak and arid
hillsides. But the scrub oak,
extreme elevation changes, and
the views remain untouched.
Red Hawk Ridge was designed by
renowned architect Jim Engh of
Castle Rock, Colorado.
"The designing of Red Hawk
Ridge was less about creating the
golf course than it was about
discovering the golf course that
has been hidden within the
spectacular land". Land in its
natural state conjured up visions
of tees, fairways, roughs and
greens to golf course architect,
Jim Engh. Enhancing what the land
offers, rather than contrived
manipulation, provides a pristine
beauty in golf. The beauty, as
well as the feeling the golfer
experiences coupled with the
challenge level of the round of
golf, should always be
harmonious, as it is at Red Hawk
Ridge Golf Course.
Red Hawk Ridge at Castle Rock
has now been open to the public
for barely over one year. This
spectacularly conditioned and
managed golf course has already
amassed several National awards
that is practically unheard of
for new facilities.

"We are very proud of the
recognition we have received both
locally and nationally" stated
Ron Horton, Director of Golf at
Red Hawk Ridge. "We constantly
receive calls all over the
country from customers stating
they had heard or read about us
and would like a tee time". A
significant reason for the
success of Red Hawk Ridge is no
secret formula. A large majority
of regular golfers desire what
Red Hawk Ridge has consistently
offered; superb course
conditioning, excellent views,
and unsurpassed customer service
at a fair price. "Our attention
to detail and listening to our
customers has and always will be
the highest of priorities". This
relentless work ethic and
constant striving for perfection
comes from a PGA staff with over
40 years of experience in the
golf industry.
Red Hawk Ridge has begun
construction on their new
clubhouse this month. This new
facility will boast a
well-stocked golf shop, indoor
dining facility, and an outdoor
covered deck overlooking the
front range and the rocky
mountains. Estimated time of
completion is next April, just in
time for the 2001 golf season.
"Our performance has surpassed
our expectations from our
temporary facility, but we are
looking forward to raising our
amenities for our customers in
the new clubhouse".
The fall colors of Colorado
are fast approaching and this
beautiful time of year is nearly
unsurpassed at Red Hawk Ridge.
The lush green fairways and
greens lie in sharp contrast to
the native grasses and the fall
colored scrub oaks.
Red Hawk Ridge takes tee times
up to one week in advance and
small groups can book two months
out with a $10.00 per person
reservation fee. Red Hawk Ridge
is owned by the Town of Castle
Rock and managed by Western Golf
Properties of Scottsdale,
Arizona.
