About this course

East at Broadmoor Resort is where championship dreams are forged and shattered against the backdrop of the Colorado Rockies. A quintessential American parkland course, it's a testament to Donald Ross's enduring design principles, subtly modernized over the years. The East demands strategic prowess, rewarding courageous play with open approaches while punishing the faint of heart with challenging green-side bunkers and subtle elevation changes. Playing long and favoring a high ball flight, expect to be tested on every tee. Ross's original layout, dating back to 1918, has seen the hands of Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Nicklaus Design add their own imprints, enhancing both its beauty and its bite. This storied course is best known for hosting the 1959 U.S. Amateur won by Charles Coe, and the 1967 U.S. Open won by Jack Nicklaus, and the 2018 U.S. Senior Open, among other significant events that shaped the careers of legends. Beyond the demanding test of golf, the club's ambiance is uniquely defined by its setting and its membership, an eclectic mix of titans of industry and passionate golfers. Post-round, conversations often revolve around conquering the treacherous par-4 18th, a testament to the enduring challenge and charm of the East Course.

Getting there

The journey to Broadmoor Resort begins at Colorado Springs Airport (COS), a straightforward fifty-minute drive south from Denver International (DEN) for those arriving on major carriers, or a direct touchdown at the resort's own private aviation facility for those traveling by jet. From COS, the drive winds through the high plains before ascending into the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, the landscape shifting from prairie grassland to pine forest as you climb toward the resort's iconic lakeside setting at nearly seven thousand feet. The final miles trace along Broadmoor Avenue, a tree-lined boulevard that rises gently through manicured grounds before revealing the Spanish Renaissance towers and turquoise lake that have anchored this destination since 1891 - a arrival that announces both the grandeur of the property and the altitude that defines Colorado golf.
