All three Loveland golf courses offer various leagues at their specific locations. Reach out to the Pro Shops at each course for more information and league availability.
All lessons offered at Loveland courses go through Jax Jones Golf Academy.
JJGA has classes, lessons, and clinics available year round, from one-on-one private lessons to group programs for all levels of golfing ability. So if you are looking at getting into the game, or you just want to polish up a few skills, JJGA has you covered!
If you are just getting into the game, we recommend that you start out at Cattail Creek Golf Course. This 9-hole, Par 3 course is the perfect gateway between the range and a full-size golf course. While not easy, the course has shorter-length holes that can be friendlier to a beginner, and the course can be walked without too much effort.
Cattail Creek is also home to the Mini-Course, which is played with specialty equipment that encourages the same skills and rules that you use on the real course. To make the transition to real equipment even easier, Cattail Creek offers a 3-hole rate so you can get a taste of the real thing without having to commit to a full 9-hole round.
Still looking to just practice the basics? All three Loveland courses have a full-size driving range and practice putting green. Additionally, The Olde Course at Loveland offers two practice chipping greens to help polish up that short game.
The Loveland golf courses are here to assist you with your journey towards enjoying a lifetime of golf whether you’re a youngster or just a young at heart. You can find the following at all three of the golf courses: Mariana Butte, The Olde Course at Loveland and Cattail Creek.
- Group or private lesson instruction for various levels from the "I’ve never held a club before" to the "could you just help me with this one thing".
- Practice areas that allow you to try out your skills before getting on the actual course. These areas can include putting greens, driving ranges and chipping areas.
- Set of clubs that you can rent for your golf round - saving you an upfront investment until you’re ready. Cattail Creek even offers free rentals, just ask the Pro Shop when you arrive.
- When you are ready to make your golf club purchase, our Pro Shops can help you find the best equipment for you!
All of the courses are set up with multiple colored courses or “teeing” areas.
As a beginner do not be afraid to play from the forward tees – usually colored yellow and red. Golf is way more enjoyable when you play from the tees that fit your current abilities instead of struggling through playing from the extended yardage tees. If you and your group are struggling to keep up with pace of play, you are always welcome to move up to a closer tee.
We ask that all golfers report to the pro shop at least 30 minutes prior to their scheduled time. This allows plenty of time for check-in, perhaps a little warm up on the range, and then arrival at the 1st tee.
You can register for the tee time system by going to our Online Booking Portal.
You don't need to have an account to view open tee times, but you will need to register to reserve one. The below videos can help guide you through the process of making a tee time reservation, and where to make an account, if you need assistance!
Normal Tee Times: Golfers are able to make a tee time 8 days in advance starting at 8:00 p.m. online or through the automated phone system; in addition, the Pro Shops will be happy to assist you with your tee time reservation within 7 days.
Pre-Reserved Tee Times: You can also pre-reserve tee times 21 days in advance by paying an additional nominal fee per player. This service is perfect when you want to arrange a guaranteed tee time for those out of town guests, bachelor round, or work-holiday.
Pre-reserved tee times can only be made over the phone, and payment for the pre-reservation must be made at the time the reservation is made.
Cancelling/Modifying Your Tee Time: If you need to cancel or modify your tee time, please do so an hour in advance of your reserved tee time. Failure to cancel or modify your tee time in time may result in your account being flagged with a no-show. Multiple no-shows may result in additional fees or other tee time restrictions. By canceling or modifying your time, you show respect to the golf course staff and your fellow golfers and help to keep golf fees down. For more information on Golf Loveland's No-Show Policy, see here.
