About this course

CommonGround Golf Course, conceived as a haven for both seasoned players and budding golfers, delivers a uniquely Colorado golfing experience just outside of Denver. The course embodies the spirit of accessible excellence in golf. Designed in the modern era by Tom Doak, CommonGround eschews the typical manicured country club feel for a more natural, links-style aesthetic. The open, rolling terrain, punctuated by native grasses and strategic bunkering, favors thoughtful play and creative shot-making over brute power. Expect firm, fast conditions and the ever-present challenge of wind coming off the plains. It's a course that subtly tests every aspect of a player's game. CommonGround is home to the Colorado Golf Association, furthering its commitment to growing the game. While not a regular stop on professional tours, CommonGround plays a vital role in supporting amateur golf and junior development throughout the region. The clubhouse fare, though simple, perfectly complements the unpretentious, golf-first ethos of the place.

Getting there

CommonGround Golf Course lies just beyond Denver's eastern suburbs, a straightforward twenty-minute drive from Denver International Airport along the E-470 corridor into Aurora. The approach trades the Rocky Mountain backdrop for the wide-open High Plains horizon, where the land flattens and the sky dominates - a fitting transition to one of the nation's most innovative public facilities. Built atop a former landfill and framed by prairie grasses and reclaimed wetlands, the course emerges from the landscape with quiet purpose, its sustainable design philosophy evident before you even reach the first tee.
