Affordable Colorado Mountain Getaways 3 Courses in 3 Days
IN THE FOOTHILLS WEST OF LITTLETON
Arrowhead Golf Course
In the mountain foothills in west of Littleton is the remarkable Arrowhead Golf Course. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, II, fairways weave thru soaring red sandstone spires. Nothing like it anywhere else. Expensive to play but worth it.
GOLDEN
Fossil Trace
In an abandoned clay mine west of the Coors Brewery in Golden, Colorado architect Jim Engh created Golf Digest's 2003 Best New Public Course in America by running fairways through sandstone cliffs and towers that still show pre-historic dinosaur tracks.
DENVER DOWNTOWN
Denver Area Public
Visitors do not travel to metropolitan Denver to play golf. The busy municipal courses are dominated by resident golfers that master the weekly computerized tee time reservation system, primarily at this rebuilt City Park course.
Get out of Denver to stay and play!
NORTH OF CASTLE ROCK
Ridge at Castle Pines
Although not the famous Castle Pines of the PGA Tour, the nearby Ridge at Castle Pines North is a "Country Club for a Day" designed by Tom Weiskopf and is Troon managed. Fairways drop down rocky ridges and past homes.
