Colorado Golf Club
Denver, Colorado
A Coore & Crenshaw design in Parker that hosted the 2013 Solheim Cup and 2019 U.S. Mid-Amateur, Colorado Golf Club occupies wide-open prairie terrain with expansive Front Range views. The minimalist design allows the natural terrain and mountain panoramas to dominate.
History & Heritage
Colorado Golf Club opened in 2007 in Parker, Colorado, southeast of Denver. Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw designed the course on rolling prairie terrain at approximately 6,200 feet elevation, using their minimalist philosophy to let the natural landscape and panoramic Front Range views define the experience.
In 2013, Colorado Golf Club hosted the Solheim Cup. The U.S. team recaptured the Cup in a closely fought match, showcasing the course to a worldwide audience.
In 2019, the club hosted the U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship. The course is consistently ranked among the top courses in Colorado and the top 100 in America.
Signature Holes
Considered one of the great opening holes in American golf, playing through a natural meadow that conceals subtle strategic options.
A beautiful par 3 to a green fronted by the course's largest pond with expansive Front Range views behind.
A long par 5 following the natural ridge terrain. The fescue rough flanking the fairway punishes errant shots severely.
A strong finishing par 4 along a dramatic ridgeline with panoramic mountain views.
What to Expect
Colorado Golf Club is a wide-open prairie golf experience with expansive Rocky Mountain Front Range views. At 7,600 yards from the championship tees at approximately 6,200 feet elevation, the course is a serious test even with altitude-enhanced distances.
Native fescue rough punishes wayward shots severely. The greens feature Coore and Crenshaw's subtle contours that reward precise approach play.
Playing Tips
The native fescue rough is severe. Keeping the ball in the fairway is paramount. Accuracy should take priority over distance.
Wind is a major factor on the exposed prairie terrain. Factor altitude into all club selections, as the 6,200-foot elevation adds roughly 10 percent to distances.
