FOOTHILLS GOLF COURSE
🇺🇸 Denver, CO, USA
Designed by Dick Phelps


Foothills Golf Course is a municipal facility located in Denver, Colorado, designed by Dick Phelps and opened in the 1970s. The course sits in the western part of the city where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountain foothills, offering views of the Front Range and playing across terrain that transitions from relatively flat ground to gently rolling land shaped by the area's natural drainage patterns.
The layout reflects the straightforward, accessible design philosophy common to many municipal courses of its era, with wide fairways and large greens that accommodate high volumes of play. The property features mature cottonwoods and other native vegetation along certain holes, while others play more openly across prairie-style landscape. Elevation changes, though modest compared to mountain courses farther west, provide some variety in shot-making and contribute to the course's character within Denver's municipal golf system.
Foothills serves as an important public golf resource in the Denver area, offering affordable access to the game in a city with strong participation rates and a competitive municipal course network. The facility operates year-round when weather permits, taking advantage of Colorado's Front Range climate, which provides playable conditions throughout much of the winter. The course appeals to a broad range of golfers seeking convenient, reasonably priced golf with mountain backdrop views that distinguish Denver-area courses from those in most other American cities.
