Driving Directions

Resort, 54 holes, $155.00 - $155.00

The Broadmoor has been awarded GOLF Magazine's highest-level of resort honor on all of the publication's lists. With great service and three 18-hole courses built by well-known designers, set in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, it is not hard to understand why.

The original Donald Ross design was split up when the East and West courses were created. Jack Nicklaus clinched the 1959 U.S. Amateur on 18th hole of Donald Ross's original design, but that is now the 15th on the East Course.

The majority of tournaments and events are played on the East course, which is thought to be the tougher of the two layouts that contain Ross holes. The opening holes on each course require lots of uphill shots, but the views are stunning. The landing areas are fairly open, but since you won't find many flat lies, hitting solid iron shots can be trickier than you think.

The Mountain Course was built in the foothills and is a bit more difficult due to its narrow fairways and the natural terrain that becomes part of the hazards you encounter. It is operated as a private club.

Probably the greatest challenge of all three courses is the putting. The subtle breaks never seem to go the way you think. Remember: putts break away from the mountains.
