If you had three days to play golf in September, where would you play?

I played Red Rocks several decades ago. It had some beautiful views.

Bear Dance is just north of there and is phenomenal. It is also expensive and tough, but it is worth it.

I hear good things about The Broadmoor.

Not a golfer myself but stayed at the resort before and it's excellent.

If you have any friends that can get you on, the Air Force Academy is always fun.

This is the right answer. I go monthly for client stuff and its my favorite.

That's awesome, I worked there the summer of '02. Played it multiple days a week and also played the east course. I really enjoyed it. I'd love to go back and play it again.

this is the way. Stay there, bring your AMEX and enjoy!

Yeah if you can get into the Broadmoor, I'm sure that would be an awesome course to play. I live 3 miles from there but don't have a connection to get on. Going to the Senior open there in June so at least I'll get to walk around and see it!

Courses I've played in the area:
Arrowhead (south Denver). Really liked this course. Great views of the flatiron rock formations up there.
Patty Jewett - local muni course, pretty nice. Oldest public course west of the Mississippi
Country Club of Colorado - nice but I'm sure Broadmoor is better.
Colorado Golf Club (south Denver). Great course. Challenging terrain.
Glenmoor Country Club (Denver)
Fossil Trace (Golden).
Air Force Academy - beautiful scenery, can't remember which course I played there.

If you don't mind traveling a little bit, Arrowhead and Fossil Trace are really cool. If you need a 4th for the Broadmoor, just message me and I'll be there!

Bear Dance is great!

These are all great courses, so you can't go wrong. Staying at the Broadmoor and playing both courses is something everyone should do at least once. Another option is Castle Pines if you can find a way to get on.

My BIL is a retired air force so we can get on at the air force academy course. He flew F15 and then Raptors. I have heard that the course near Garden of the Gods is pretty cool. Might play the muni one day.

The folks talking about the Broadmoor are correct. One of the best overall experiences staying somewhere and playing golf, my wife and I have ever had. Lucky enough to go there for a conference that had a golf tournament associated with it, so everything was on the company. The West course is awesome.

Also, the Broadmoor is an amazing hotel/resort. But I don't think you can play golf there unless you're a guest.

Was that your internship. I don't remember.

Yes sir. I got back to College Station in August and was dying from the humidity.

That was the summer after 9/11, and we saw Rudy Giuliani playing out there. Me and a couple other interns got to say hi. He had quite a bit of security with him.

Pine creek sucks.
Bear dance is awesome
AFA Eisenhower is a really good tract
Must be staying at Broadmoor to play

Another vote for the broadmoor!

Four Mile Ranch is terrible. Probably the worst Jim Engh course ever
