Ute Creek in Longmont Considered
One
of Colorado's Finest Public Golf
Courses
Ute
Creek is a championship course
designed by world-renowned resort
architect, Robert Trent Jones
II.
"This
golfing masterpiece is a must
play for golfers of all
abilities," says PGA Head Golf
Professional Eric Jensen. The
course layout is one of the best
around." The links style course
varies from 5,509 yards to a
lengthy 7,282 yards from the
championship tees. The golf
course is an integral part of the
Spring Valley residential
development in east
Longmont.
Ute
Creek, owned by the City of
Longmont, opened for play in June
of 1997. "We are very proud to
offer this great facility" stated
Larry Mills, City of Longmont
Golf Operations Manager. "Ute
Creek has put the finishing touch
on Longmont's golf program. With
Sunset, Twin Peaks, and Ute
Creek, golfers now have three
distinct layouts to choose from.
With three courses in different
categories, golf is easily
affordable for
everyone."
Located
an easy 35-mile drive north of
Denver, Ute Creek features breath
taking views of Long Peak, the
Front Range and the Great Plains.
The course offers wide,
multi-level fairways lined by
native grasses. But don't be
fooled by the wide fairways. Most
holes require length off the tee
and precise shot placement. The
course layout has five par fives
and five par threes, with three
of each on the back nine. The
course design includes five
lakes, two streams, and
fifty-five bunkers.
Amenities
include a driving range with
large tees and multiple target
greens, a 10,000 square foot
practice putting green, a short
game practice area with two sand
bunkers and an area to practice
shots up to 60 yards. Lesson
packages are available from the
professional staff for golfers of
all abilities.
The
clubhouse offers a full service
golf shop stocked with all of the
latest equipment and apparel as
well as a full range of club
fitting and repair services. The
restaurant/snack bar and event
pavilion will seat up to 160
people for large
outings.
Whether
you are a beginner or a scratch
golfer, Ute Creek is a course you
must play to appreciate. For your
convenience, tee time
reservations can be made up to
seven days in advance. For
