KENNEDY GOLF COURSE
🇺🇸 Aurora, CO, USA
Designed by Dick Phelps, Henry Hughes








Kennedy Golf Course in Aurora, Colorado operates as a municipal facility serving the Denver metropolitan area. The course features two distinct 18-hole layouts: the Babe Lind Course and the Creek Course. Dick Phelps and Henry Hughes designed these courses to provide accessible public golf in the region, working within the relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Colorado Front Range east of Denver.
The Babe Lind Course and Creek Course share the property but offer different playing experiences suited to various skill levels. Municipal courses in this area typically incorporate water features and tree-lined corridors to define holes on otherwise open land. The routing likely takes advantage of natural drainage patterns and existing vegetation to create strategic interest without dramatic elevation changes.
As a longstanding Aurora municipal facility, Kennedy Golf Course serves a diverse golfing population from the eastern Denver suburbs. The dual-course setup allows the facility to accommodate high play volumes while providing options for both recreational and more serious golfers. The courses reflect the practical design approach common to public golf in Colorado during their era of construction, emphasizing playability and maintenance efficiency suited to the high-altitude climate and seasonal weather patterns of the region.
The facility's location in Aurora positions it as an accessible option for residents of one of Colorado's largest cities, contributing to the public golf infrastructure that serves the greater Denver area.
