Fitzsimons Golf Course
About this course
Fitzsimons Golf Course occupies land in Aurora, Colorado, that was once part of the historic Fitzsimons Army Medical Center. The course was designed by Richard Phelps and serves as a public facility in the Denver metropolitan area. The property's military heritage gives it a distinctive backstory among Colorado Front Range courses, though the layout itself reflects standard municipal design principles adapted to the relatively flat terrain characteristic of this part of Aurora. The course plays across open land with views of the Rocky Mountains to the west, a common feature of courses along Colorado's eastern plains corridor. Water features and mature cottonwoods provide definition on several holes, while the routing accommodates players of varying skill levels through multiple tee configurations. The layout emphasizes playability and pace of play, typical priorities for high-traffic public courses serving a diverse urban population. Fitzsimons operates as an accessible option for Aurora residents and Denver-area golfers seeking straightforward golf without significant elevation change. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse with basic amenities. Its location near the former medical center, which has been redeveloped into the Anschutz Medical Campus and surrounding mixed-use development, places it within one of Aurora's major growth corridors. The course provides recreational space in an increasingly urbanized area of the Front Range.
