Golf courses in Colorado

A mile up, the ball carries farther and the season splits in two. Along the Front Range, from Fort Collins through Denver to Colorado Springs, courses stay open most of the year and a dry, sunny January day brings golfers out in fleeces. In the mountains the game is a summer affair: the courses in Breckenridge, Aspen, Avon and Crested Butte open when the snow leaves and close when it returns, which the state tourism office turns into a selling point about golfing and skiing on the same day.

Yardage has 243 Colorado courses mapped: 183 eighteen-hole and 60 nine-hole, a nine-hole share of 24.7% that ranks 29th and matches the national catalog to the decimal. Colorado Springs has 18 mapped courses, Denver 15 and Aurora 13. Denver Golf, the city’s own system, runs eight facilities, and City Park, Overland, Wellshire, Willis Case, Evergreen and two of Kennedy’s three nines are mapped. Patty Jewett’s eighteen and nine in Colorado Springs are mapped as well.

Colorado’s courses are 1.62% of the catalog. At 4.04 per 100,000 residents the state is 34th in the Golf Course Census, a little under the national figure, with one course for every 24,743 people. Of its 111 postal cities, 71 have a single mapped course, which is what golf looks like on the Eastern Plains and in the valleys west of the Divide.

Visitors playing at altitude for the first time should read our guide to playing an unfamiliar course for the first time, which covers how to handle a layout you have never seen; the national directory lists every state the same way.
