Denver Ranked in Top 10 Golf Cities

Posted by TheHomeCart.com on Friday, April 3rd, 2009 at 11:31am.

Forbes Traveler rates Denver as one of the country’s Top 10 Golf Cities. What makes a great golf city?  Paul Rogers, senior editor at Travel & Leisure Golf, says "it starts with the concentration of courses—great golf cities have at least several good public courses along with private clubs that have history and some kind of golfing soul.”

“Denver has at least 10 quality public four-star courses that you can play for under 60 bucks," points out Travelin' Joe Passov, senior editor of Golf Magazine.   

"You can feel like Superman here because you hit the ball a lot farther at 5,000 feet,” says Jon Rizzi, publisher of Colorado Avid Golfer, referring to Denver’s high elevation.  

And the unique landscape adds to the golfing experience. For example, Arrowhead, a Robert Trent Jones design, snakes through red rock formations. In Golden, designer Jim Engh carved out an upland clay quarry to create Fossil Trace, with fossil formations and limestone monoliths acting as decor and occasionally, penalty.
