Foothills Golf Course

The Front Range backdrop elevates every shot at this rugged public track, where elevation changes of 200 feet between tees and greens demand serious club adjustments in Denver's thin air. Wide fairways accommodate weekend hackers, but the real test comes from lightning-fast bentgrass greens that slope dramatically toward the mountains and punish anything but precise approaches. At 5,400 feet above sea level, even mid-handicappers will outdrive their usual distances—just don't let the altitude fool you when the mountain winds kick up on the back nine.
