Ridge at Castle Pines North
Castle Pines is a tough place to make an impression...both the acclaimed Castle Pines Golf Club and the Country Club at Castle Pines reside in the area, as well as the more secretive Sanctuary Club. A golfer looking for public-access fare needs a spot to stop, however, and Tom Weiskopf is the man for the job, laying out The Ridge at Castle Pines North during the late ‘90s.
Although the course is routed through a residential development, the title “Pines” come into play during the home nine, making players feel relatively secluded among one of Colorado golf’s most celebrated ZIP codes. Weiskopf is always keen for a little adventure on his courses, and almost all of the teeboxes head down The Ridge and not up. Perhaps the most stunning views and certainly the highest dive, comes at No. 14, a 190-yard par three to a green surrounded by evergreen onlookers.
Your last approach, however, will be played up to a green perched below the clubhouse. The course is among the most acclaimed public golf courses in the entire state, and not just among its privileged neighbors.
