Colorado Golfers

I am looking at purchasing the Colorado Avid Golfers Passport. Has anybody had experience with it? Is there another "deal" out there? Thanks in advance.

I haven't, if you do get it let us know how it works and if it is worth it.

Another great source for discount tee-times is golfnow.com. I use them here in the northwest. My parents live in Colorado and it appears there course selection in Colorado for Golf Now isn't quite as mature, but hopefully it will get there.

As far as good courses I have a gift card to Bear Dance and I am really looking forward to playing it this summer. Fossil Trace in Golden is a great and unique course.

golfnow for Co. SPrings is missing about 9 Golf Courses I an think of right here in town. It seems to only list the most exclusive/expensive.

Where in Colo Springs would you recommend?

Also I think the best golf deal anywhere is throug a place called club tee time... you buy certificates at sams, and tell them where and when, and they call ahead with their credit card number... once you get there it's paid for... oh and you get the certificates for 25% off at sams. I have used them for 2 years now and it's never failed!

Thanks for the Springs suggestions though.

Calvie - you might be asking the wrong guy. All those worth noting are above my skill level -> cost justification ratio. Air Force academy and Peterson Air Force Base are really nice, I am not sure if the Golf is public access. Never been to these, but I understand the Broadmore, Glen Eagle, and Kissing Camels are Excellent. I golf on a budget since I am 1st year starter, but so far I like Springs Ranch the most. Valley Hi and Cherokee Ridge are decent. I hear goods things about patty Jewwett too. Antler Creek is like #4 in the world for course yardage, and there are 2 courses there, with like 7 tees on most holes. The best thing about Springs Golf is at least one time you are lined up looking down a fairway, and the range is right in front with Pikes peak staring you down. Of course - I am new to CO and you might be less impressed.

My main point about golfnow is that it excludes all the public courses, but if you're traveling you may be looking for a more exclusive club to make the trip worthwhile.

I am excited to see this thread. I will be moving from the North East to Denver sometime this summer (following my significant other). I am only a 1/week golfer (about 30-35 rounds/year) and I try to play a variety of courses.

I will keep watching this thread for advice but hope to see some general advice about Colorado. And I will be waiting to hear about the advantages to the Colorado Avid Golfers Passport program!

There is a lot of great public access golf in the Denver area. Here is a link to a list of my favorites and photos.
