About
Colorado Golf Club is a private, championship course in Parker, Colorado, masterfully designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw. Opened in 2007, it’s acclaimed for its natural, rolling terrain, strategic design, and sweeping Rocky Mountain vistas. Renowned for hosting prestigious events like the Senior PGA Championship, the club is recognized as one of North America's elite modern golf venues.
Caddie Tip
Play for the safe sides of fairways and greens, especially on approach shots, as the native areas are penal. Altitude can make the course seem shorter—take a club less on many shots, but beware of swirling winds. Pay attention to green contours, which can be subtle but fast, especially during tournament conditions.
The Main Challenge
The greatest challenge at Colorado Golf Club is managing the rugged, natural terrain and undulating greens. Strategic placement off the tee is crucial, as native grasses and deep bunkers await missed shots. The firm, fast greens demand precise approach shots and deft putting, especially with the course’s tournament-level conditioning.
The Good
Golfers rave about the seclusion and uninterrupted mountain views, as well as the thoughtful routing that uses the natural contours of the land. The limited presence of homes on the course preserves a sense of wilderness and tranquility. The Coore & Crenshaw design provides an ideal blend of strategy and playability for all skill levels.
The Not So Good
Some members and guests note that the challenging layout can be daunting for higher handicappers, especially with extensive native areas and deep bunkers. The course’s remote location, while scenic, means amenities and access to urban conveniences are somewhat limited compared to other top private clubs.
Signature Hole:
#
16
The 16th hole is a memorable par 5 that sweeps uphill with expansive views of the Front Range. Framed by native grasses and bunkers, it tempts longer hitters to reach in two while punishing errant shots. The multi-tiered green and panoramic scenery make this hole a favorite for both its challenge and beauty.
Clubhouse
The 40,000 sq.ft. clubhouse features expansive locker rooms, a pro shop, multiple dining venues, event spaces, and a swimming complex. Six on-site club cottages provide luxury accommodation for members and guests, enhancing the club’s reputation for exclusive hospitality and comfort.
