Tucked in the heart of Loveland, Colorado, Cattail Creek Golf Course proves that great golf doesn’t need 18 holes or a long day on the links. This charming 9-hole, par-3 facility has become a local favorite for families, beginners, and anyone looking to sharpen their short game in a relaxed setting.
Cattail Creek’s approachable layout — where water comes into play on five of the nine holes — offers the perfect balance of fun and challenge. With the right tee boxes and a lighthearted approach, even new golfers can experience the thrill of navigating hazards and putting for birdie.
Whether you’re looking for a break from the day’s routine, quality time with friends and family, or a chance to work on your short game, Cattail Creek is always a great choice.
A compact, 9-hole par-3 layout stars as the main attraction — ideal for newcomers or those short on time.
Conveniently located in central Loveland, right across the street from the larger The Olde Course at Loveland, so golfers of all levels can flow from “just getting started” to a full length round without leaving town.
A full suite of amenities: a driving range (balls available through the Pro Shop), a practice putting green located across from the #1 tee, and a stocked Pro Shop with golf apparel, equipment, snacks and drinks.
Family-friendly features: a Mini-Course for early skill development, and a 3-Hole Rate option so you can “dip your toes in” before committing to all nine.
Inclusive environment: Four teeing options (yellow, red, white, blue) give you control over how friendly or challenging your round is — and feel free to move your ball up if you hit a sticky lie; Cattail encourages fun and progress, not pressure.
Start on the Mini-Course or driving range to warm up and work on your swing.
Take advantage of the 3-Hole Rate — perfect for new players or families who want a quick outing.
Pick the right tee box: Begin at the forward yellow tees, then step back to red, white or blue as your confidence grows.
Stock up on golf balls — water comes into play on five of the nine holes, so you’ll want a few to spare.
Bring family or friends — Cattail’s relaxed pace (recommended 1 hour 45 minutes for 9 holes) makes it easy to fit a round in.
After you conquer the 9-hole par-3, if you’re craving more, cross the street to The Olde Course for a longer challenge.
