Course Report
The East Course at The Broadmoor has hosted multiple USGA championships, including the U.S. Women’s Open and U.S. Senior Open, and will again host the U.S. Senior Open in 2031 and 2037.
About
Broadmoor Golf Club’s East Course, designed by Donald Ross and later enhanced by Robert Trent Jones Sr., is a legendary parkland layout nestled in the foothills of Cheyenne Mountain. Renowned for its wide, tree-lined fairways, expansive greens, and challenging routing, the East Course has hosted multiple major championships and is widely regarded among America’s premier resort courses.
Caddie Tip
Always remember that putts tend to break away from Cheyenne Mountain—trust the slope and be mindful of the subtle but consistent effect of elevation changes. Approach shots play slightly shorter due to altitude, but the expansive greens require precision on placement to avoid tricky, multi-tiered putts.
The Main Challenge
Navigating the undulating, fast greens is the ultimate test, especially with subtle mountain-influenced breaks. The combination of penal bunkering, length at altitude, and strategic doglegs means every shot must be well considered. Approach shots demand accuracy to challenging green complexes, and the finishing stretch tests nerve and skill.
The Good
Golfers rave about the classic design, stunning mountain vistas, and the impeccable conditioning of the championship-caliber layout. The unique challenge of reading greens affected by the nearby mountains, combined with the storied history and first-class resort atmosphere, make every round exceptionally memorable.
The Not So Good
Some golfers note limited public access, as only resort guests are allowed to play, and premium pricing is required. At times, slower pace of play has been reported during peak resort periods, and a few guests wish for greater practice range availability and tee time flexibility.
Signature Hole:
#
18
The par-4 18th is a dramatic finishing hole featuring a slight dogleg right, with the approach shot toward a large, elevated green framed by the resort hotel. Its classic design and memorable setting make it a highlight of the round, challenging players to finish strong while showcasing the grandeur of The Broadmoor’s storied setting.
