Great course for the money!

Don’t forget to get a day pass from the military base before you try to enter the base and play this course!

Incredible course!

Hard to get on because It’s on a military base but it’s absolutely gorgeous! It was so green and beautiful with the mountains surrounding it, it was like playing on a course off a video game!

Want to do 9 holes in 3hrs?

We left after nine holes bc the pace of play was godly slow! No one out to speed up pace and if it was a worker from the course they would just look at the 3 groups waiting on the tee box. 3 groups should never be waiting on one tee box! 6 carts 12 players. That’s aweful! Condition of course good but not fun when having to wait 5min on each tee box.
Want a slow round go to this course!

First time

Had to wait for a cart. Don’t forget you need a visitor pass at a different gate. With registration and proof of insurance.
So if you want to get some practice in go early.
Course has a great layout. Wide fairways and large greens make it better for my struggling game.
Course is in fantastic shape.
Bring your mosquito repellent and have a great time

Good value

Surprisingly solid track on the army base. Fairways and the first cut were in good shape. The greens mostly rolled true but had a few rough spots. Fun layout too. The clubhouse was nice with a big pro shop for anything you might need. There were a few water stations which is nice since the entire course sits in the sun. Slow pace of play is to be expected - looked like there were beginner golfers out on the course when I played. Our foursome got our afternoon round in in just over 5 hours. If you don’t have a tee time on GolfNow just call the shop. They do a lot of ‘show up and get in line’ tee times in the afternoon from what I could tell.

For a weekend round under $60 (for civilians), it’s a good deal. Good alternative to the other local courses around town that are always packed.

Great Course. Slow Play

Cart Path only rule due to recent wet weather. This + walk ons made for extremely slow play. Took 4hrs to play 12 holes; threw in the towel at that point. Typically not this slow.

Course was in great shape

Didn’t expect the course to be such in great shape this time of year with the other courses in town still looking pretty yellow. All great to play Cheyenne shadow. Happy to see it on GOLFNOW

Surprisingly Good

Cheyenne Shadows located on Fort Carson was surprisingly good. A little gem. Despite it being early March the dormant grasses allow a pleasant play. The greens rolled true and even down wind shots would hold on them if coming from proper height. The layout is pleasantly varied. Par 3s from elevation along with forced carries across large gulleys. Quite a few doglegs throughout that playing with someone familiar to the course does give a benefit so a stream doesn’t sneak up. Clubhouse, practice facility and everything around the course is extremely nice. Walkable, I walked, with a few climbs to tee boxes, it’s a nice stroll with some good views of Cheyenne Mountain. Would recommend for a good course in Colo Springs.
