Golf Holidays in Colorado
Whilst Colorado is famed for its snowy mountains and excellent ski slopes it also has something else significant in golf at The Broadmoor, voted the Number 1 Golf Resort in America year after year and considering the competition, this is no mean feat. The rest of the state has plenty of Arts and Culture, spectacular scenery, festivals and much more in both summer and winter seasons, making Colorado an attractive destination all year round.
The golf courses in Colorado are like no other American state, with breathtaking views of the incredible landscape. Colorado has attracted world renowned golf architects to design some of the best courses, including Tom Fazio and Greg Norman at the Red Sky Ranch and Golf Club. When away from the course, the vibrant city of Denver is worth a visit to see everything the state capital has to offer.
Out of the East and West courses, the East course takes the edge and has previously hosted major tournaments including the US Women's Open. However both courses still boast incredible mountainous views to enjoy.
The two courses at Red Sky are ranked as some of the best in Colorado, designed by Tom Fazio and Greg Norman. The golf is accessible to stay & play through staying at Beaver Creek or Vail.
Located in the growing community of New Castle, Colorado, Lakota Canyon Ranch features an 18-hole championship golf course designed by James Engh.
With the diverse landscape comes with incredible national parks and structures to visit in Colorado. The Red Rocks Amphitheatre is an absolute must, conveniently located only a short 15 miles outside of Denver, the raw beauty of these rocks is sure to impress you. Another headline attraction is the Strawberry Parks Hot Springs, which is a natural paradise preserved to allow visitors to relax in a gorgeous, wild setting.
The Colorado Trail spans over 500 miles across the state, and the best way to explore the enormous trail is by foot. Along the way you will come across peaks of the Rocky Mountains, with plenty of lakes and creeks too. Alternatively you can take a slightly quicker approach by taking a horseback ride or jumping on a mountain bike to discover what secret gems Colorado has to offer.
Denver is the capital of Colorado and the biggest city in the state, in front of Colorado Springs. Denver offers a large range of museums, shops and restaurants to check out whilst staying there, and as you will fly to Denver in order to then reach the golf courses, it’s well worth staying in the city for a couple nights to see everything that Denver has to offer.
