About this course

Kennedy Golf Course's Babe Lind layout sits in Aurora, a suburb immediately east of Denver, where the high plains meet the Front Range foothills. Designed by Dick Phelps, a Colorado-based architect active in the mid-to-late twentieth century, the course serves the eastern Denver metropolitan area as a municipal facility. The property occupies relatively flat terrain typical of the region, with views westward toward the Rocky Mountains on clear days. The routing reflects the practical constraints and design conventions of public golf from its era, emphasizing playability and maintenance efficiency over dramatic landforms. The course layout accommodates golfers across skill levels, a characteristic common to municipal designs intended for high traffic and broad accessibility. Mature trees frame many holes, providing definition and wind protection on a landscape otherwise exposed to the plains weather patterns that frequently influence play in the Denver area. Water features and bunkers create strategic interest without overly penalizing recreational players. The design balances challenge with pace of play, an essential consideration for a public facility. Kennedy Golf Course functions as a neighborhood amenity within Aurora's park system, offering affordable golf to residents of Colorado's third-largest city. The facility includes typical municipal infrastructure—practice areas, a clubhouse with basic food service, and accessible tee times. The course reflects the straightforward design philosophy of its period, prioritizing function and community access over architectural distinction.
