Design/Layout
Redhawk Ridge is located west of I-25 on the north side of Castle Rock, off Wolfensberger Road, routed through a partially developed residential community. The layout is a lot of fun with elevated tee shots, huge greens, blind shots, sand traps galore, uphill downhill shots. The only problems I have with the layout is that the last few holes are uphill, and quite a trudge when you're finishing your round, and the pace of play is usually slow here. Beautiful views from a number of points on the golf course, rates are fair, especially when checking for off peak times to play, and it helps if you're a town of Castle Rock resident. The course was designed by Jim Engh, and from the tips plays to 6,942 yards with a 71.6 course rating and a 129 slope. Very enjoyable experience, except for the houses lining the course, but they've stopped building them at the moment. Hard to believe the course is a muni, operated by the town of Castle Rock!

RHR is a very fun, challenging and playable course for many levels of players. With 5 sets of tees ranging from 4636 yards to 6942 yards (par 72), the course can handle all skill levels with the appropriate challenge. The design, routing and course terrain provide the player a very enjoyable experience both from a golf standpoint and a scenery standpoint. Bring your camera as there are lots of great photo-opps. The driving range was a little funky. You hit balls straight up hill onto the mountain. That combined with the fact that the balls appeared to be limited flight made the range experience a little less than par. I really don’t like hitting limited flight range balls. I’d rather not hit any range balls at all in that case. The restaurant was very nice and spacious, including some great outside deck seating where you could watch players play the 18th hole. The food there was tasty.
