Broken Tee Golf Course

Broken Tee Englewood is a municipal golf facility in Englewood, Colorado, designed by Dick Phelps and Brad Benz. The course serves the southern Denver metropolitan area and provides accessible public golf in a region where mountain views and high-altitude conditions shape the playing experience. Englewood sits in the transition zone between the urban corridor along the South Platte River valley and the foothills of the Front Range, giving the course a setting that balances suburban development with open Colorado landscape. The design works within relatively modest terrain typical of courses built for municipal play in the Denver area. Phelps and Benz created a routing that accommodates golfers of varying skill levels, with strategic bunkering and water features that require thoughtful course management without excessive length or difficulty. The high elevation—around 5,400 feet—means the ball travels noticeably farther than at sea level, a characteristic common to all Front Range courses and one that affects club selection and distance control throughout the round. As a public facility, Broken Tee Englewood serves a broad cross-section of local golfers, from beginners to experienced players seeking convenient and affordable access. The course operates within the context of Colorado's competitive municipal golf market, where numerous public layouts offer mountain backdrops and year-round play when weather permits. The facility focuses on providing straightforward, playable golf rather than championship-level challenge or tournament hosting.
