Designed by Jack Nicklaus, The Country Club at Castle Pines is an18-hole, championship-calibre course. With no two holes that run parallel to each other, golfers enjoy not only a challenging game, but spectacular views of the rolling terrain, where ancient pines sweep the deep blue bowl of the sky. "You can play the Country Club course and feel you've had a great time no matter what your scoresimply because of the views." Rarely will one encounter a golf course as magnificent. Starting at 7,000 feet above sea level, the first two holes of this par 72 course run dramatically atop a ridge, with Denver's sky line in the distance. Mountain views include Pike's Peak to the south, Mt Evans to the west and Long's Peak to the north. The fourth hole takes play through thick stands of Ponderosa pine and scrub oak on sloping terrain. Closing out the front nine, the ninth green is nestled at the base of a rock cliff, where a 387-yard par 4 requires an exacting shot to an elevated green.

18th Hole at Castle Pines |

| The back nine begins from an elevated tee and leads players into a magnificent display of natural beauty on holes ten and eleven. Twelve through fifteen open up to natural rolling contours which challenge the golfer's accuracy and decision-making skills on every shot. The final three holes, a par 5 sixteenth and par 3 seventeenth, will rival any finishing holes in the country, while eighteen provides an unforgettable conclusion to any round of golf at the Country Club at Castle Pines. |
