University Of Denver Golf Club At Highlands Ranch

The high desert terrain 20 miles south of Denver delivers exactly what serious mountain golf should: dramatic elevation changes, native scrub oak hazards, and greens that break toward the distant Rockies in ways that will fool your sea-level eyes. Pete Dye's routing maximizes the rolling topography with forced carries over arroyos and approach shots that demand precise distance control in the thin air. This university-owned gem proves that Colorado's Front Range produces golf that's both visually stunning and strategically demanding, especially when autumn winds howl across the exposed ridgelines.
