LVI Review of "Pole Creek"

POLE CREEK, Winter Park, Colorado: Like Eagle-Vail, ditto the "Colorado scenic", but not so fair. That means it's more penal if you miss a shot. This one is not as easy on the access either, being 30 miles north of I-70, but worth the trouble. Golf Digest rated it "The Best New Public Course in America" when it was finished in 1985. A couple of hours north of this ski town is Rocky Mountain National Park, for tundra walking (at the Alpine Visitor Center) and wildlife viewing. During golf season the park should be open. Don't miss that. RATINGS: (Original 18) Meadow/Ranch 73.7/145
COST: $73-$99 including cart
This is now a 27 hole facility; I haven't played "The Ridge" 9.
