Copper Creek is part of the Copper Mountain Resort, the golf course was designed by Pete and Perry Dye and from the tips the course is 6,094 yards, 67.6/124 ratings, very short considering the altitude advantage here. Supposed to be the highest elevation championship golf course in the US, and while it's challenging, is not the sternest test of golf you'll find around here. It's a mix of links and mountain style holes with great views of the 10 Mile Range, and was a good relaxing course to play in a beautiful setting. The front nine is a bit target golf with tight approach shots, and driving holes, while the back nine is more traditional and offers great views of the surrounding mountains and double diamond ski slopes of East Copper Mountain. Well conditioned course, rates very reasonable, and enjoyable laid-back round, more reasonably priced than the other courses in the area.

The course was in pretty good condition. The fairways and rough are grown in and the greens are still recovering from aeration. I think the bumpiness of the greens should be smoothed out by next week. Best part of Copper Creek is their practice facility which includes a huge putting green, chipping area and a grass range...you can't beat it.
