This is a great and fun course that has an interesting layout throughout. Some traditional holes, and some "go for it" holes. If it anything it plays a little short, and if you are an advanced player I would recommend the black tees (also, the "t-rex" tees were not an option when I logged my score on the GHIN app). It takes one round to get used to it, and by your second round you can expect to...

Came to Colorado on vacation and found this course near us to play. Very well maintained, seriously. Tee boxes, fairways and rough, sand soft, greens very consistent. Charged me $80 to play on weekday morning. Rentals were a bit expensive but most are.

This is another fabulous Jim Engh design. There are areas of exposed fossils (Hence the name of the course) and there are also old pieces of quarry equipment that tell the story of the lands prior use. The course is well laid out and maintained. The staff is very helpful. All of this lends itself to a very positive golf experience. One of the signatures of a Jim Engh design is his bunker...

I played the 6577 “T-Rex” tees at Fossil Trace (because, really, how do you not play the “T-Rex” tees???) and I found the track pretty true to its 71.4/136 rating. There is a nice variety of holes here which really encourages you to use all of the clubs/shots in your bag. For example, no two par 3’s are alike (going 151, 95, 186, 205, and 160 respectively so you won’t be just firing 7 or 8...

I've played FT multiple times over the years and used to hold it in pretty high esteem. Over time what I realized though is that compared to most of the Jim Engh designs around the state (Redlands,Lakota,4 Mile and Red Hawk Ridge..) you don't get anywhere near the value you do at those other courses. I still find Fossil enjoyable, but would never play there at peak season when there are that...

Other Recommended Attractions: Before opening during the construction phase, Triceratops footprints and other prehistoric fossils were discovered, thus giving the course its name, Fossil Trace Golf Club. As far back as 64 million years ago, these dinosaurs stepped where golfers now swing their clubs on holes 11 through 15. Located just 15 minutes from downtown Denver in the foothills of the...
