Colorado Golf Club is a golf club located in Parker, Colorado, southeast of Denver. The club opened in 2007, and hosted the Senior PGA Championship in 2010, won by Tom Lehman. It was host to the Solheim Cup in 2013, a biennial ladies team competition contested by teams from the United States and Europe.
Its championship golf course was designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, and plays a most challenging 7,604 yards from the tips. Situated on picturesque, rolling terrain at an average elevation of 6,100 feet above sea level, the club will host the 2019 U.S. Mid-Amateur this summer, its first national championship for Colorado Golf Club.
Since it’s opening in 2007, Colorado Golf Club has consistently ranked among the top modern courses in the United States. Its design incorporates the natural landscape, playing through ponderosa pines and across broad hillsides and meadows. Coore & Crenshaw created a strategic layout that offers both tempting chances for birdie and holes where disaster lurks on each shot. Colorado Golf Club is a showcase of natural design, with no road crossings or out of bounds. The designers moved virtually no dirt during construction, following the contours and features of the land in the tradition of Golden Age architecture. Measuring more than 7,600 yards from the back tees, the golf course was built to challenge the world’s best.
