3 reviews for Riverdale Golf Club, The Dunes Course
Riverdale/Dunes is my kinda course. The fairways are as wide as they are long. The Dunes course can be challenging but the layout is really fun.
Both courses are maintained very well. Prices are great and most importantly the beer in the beer cart is cold.
I've always wanted to head out to the course in the winter and retrieve all of my lost golf balls that splashed into the water all throughout the summer.
Good burgers and friendly staff in the clubhouse after you're done with your round.
The Dunes at Riverdale, What a great course, a Pete Dye layout that is in excellent condition. Although not a totally distinguishable Dye layout there are distinct Dye trappings. Only one hole that is truely funky that is No. 14 where from the tee first timers have no idea where to hit the ball or where the green is. Even the score card does not give useable information. Best thing to do is just close your eyes and hit away. The course is a links style that winds it's way through native country side. The 15th hole has a pond/lake all the way down the left side and is quite beautiful. Many holes are memorable with only a few fading into run of the mile type.
The clubhouse is large and elegant, housing the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame. Nothing is cramped, food is good and all personal both in the clubhouse, Pro Shop, Restaurant and on the course are super friendly and want to make your golf experience a good one.
There are two courses at Riverdale. The Knolls I did not play but I will return soon to do just that.
I would have to rate this course one of the top 20 I have played and problably top 10 in Colorado.
the best kept secret in colorado. pete dye made every hole different and challenging, despite the almost complete lack of trees to bother the wayward drive (there is knee deep rough and water on seven holes to take care of those). from the tips you will beg for mercy. from the whites you will have a lot of fun, especially on the perfect bent grass greens, which are very fair and only take about ten years to master. a comprehensive practice facility, reasonable green fees and friendly staff make this place an absolute favorite. play fast golfers!
