Course Report
The West Course is renowned for hosting the 1998 PGA Cup Matches and features original Donald Ross holes blended with Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s reimagined design.
About
The Broadmoor Golf Club West Course, set in the Cheyenne Mountain foothills, features rolling fairways, multi-level greens, and challenging hazards. Originally designed by Donald Ross and enhanced by Robert Trent Jones Sr., this 18-hole layout offers dramatic elevation changes and tree-lined doglegs in a picturesque mountain setting at 6,800 feet elevation.
Caddie Tip
Aim to keep approach shots below the hole, as the fast, sloped greens can lead to tricky downhill putts. Club selection is crucial at altitude, and the mountain backdrop can be visually deceptive when gauging distances, especially on dogleg holes.
The Main Challenge
The West Course’s primary challenge lies in its narrow, tree-lined fairways and steeply sloped, multi-tiered greens. Doglegs and elevation changes force precise shot placement, while the altitude adds complexity to club selection and distance control.
The Good
Players rave about the dramatic mountain views, classic architectural pedigree, and the unique routing that blends original Donald Ross holes with Robert Trent Jones Sr. redesigns. The course’s secluded mountain setting and pristine conditions create a memorable, world-class resort golf experience.
The Not So Good
Guests sometimes mention that the mountain setting can make walking the course strenuous, particularly given the elevation. Pace of play may fluctuate during peak resort periods, and some players feel green fees are relatively high for non-resort guests.
Signature Hole:
#
18
The 18th hole, a par 4, is widely regarded as the West Course’s signature finish. The hole plays downhill toward the iconic Broadmoor Hotel, framed by mountain vistas and mature trees. Players are challenged by a strategic tee shot, with a sloping fairway, and a demanding approach to a well-guarded, contoured green.
