 Natural vegetation and wildlife |
14001 West 32nd Avenue Denver, CO 80401 United States +1 303 279 3003 |
This golf nugget is unlike any other course in Colorado. Spanning 6,229 yards, its natural terrain has been retained so that the par 71 course plays through the native vegetation.

Juniors are not allowed to play until 2pm from Friday to Sunday. Green fees: USD22 Monday-Friday; USD27 Saturday-Sunday. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Spectacular red rock formations |
10850 West Sundown Trail Denver, CO 80125 United States +1 303 973 9614 / +1 303 973 0352 |
Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed this course which rates as one of the top 75 public golf courses in the United States. Its lofty status owes much to its spectacular scenery.

Narrow fairways are bordered by thick roughs and an inordinate amount of traps allowing for little margins of error. Proper golf attire and golf carts are required. Green fees, including cart, top at USD95. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The ball travels far up here |
29614 Upper Bear Creek Road Denver, CO 80439 United States +1 303 674 6351 |
Just to walk this mountain course and admire its beauty as it snakes around Evergreen Lake and through deep stands of pine is reason enough to play it. It features a classic par three hole that requires a completely blind tee shot over a towering mound of rock. And then when finished, you alert the group behind you that it is free to shoot by clanging a large bell. Your short game needs to excel here for the sloping greens are fast and hard.

Exceptionally good greens |
8600 Wadsworth Boulevard Denver, CO 80003 United States +1 720 898 7360 http://www.lakearborgolf.com/ |
Once the haunt of former US Open Champion Orville Moody, the 5,865-yard, par-70 course ranks as one of the best courses in the metropolitan area. The exceptionally manicured greens require a delicate short-game to make the ball stick, and a good eye to read the lightning-quick putts. A host of water and sand hazards add to the difficulty.

Namesake nemesis |

Raccoon Creek Golf Club is named for a stream that meanders through the middle of the course, causing a host of water hazards and prompting occasional angry club tosses. Trees are not a real factor on this 7,045-yard course, especially on the back nine, but the water more than compensates for the foliage absence.
