Lake Arbor Golf Course

Lake Arbor Golf Course sits in Arvada, a suburb northwest of Denver in the Colorado Front Range. Designed by Orville Moody and opened in the 1970s, the course represents work by the 1969 U.S. Open champion during his post-playing career when he turned to course design. Moody's tournament experience informed layouts that emphasized playability for everyday golfers while maintaining strategic interest. The course occupies relatively flat terrain typical of the suburban Denver area, with water features including lakes and ponds that come into play on several holes and give the facility its name. Mature cottonwoods and other trees line many fairways, providing definition and framing. The layout measures around 6,800 yards from the back tees and serves a range of skill levels through multiple tee boxes. Greens are generally moderate in size with modest undulation. Lake Arbor operates as a public facility and sees regular play from Front Range residents. The course fits into the category of accessible daily-fee golf that serves metropolitan Denver's large golfing population. Its location near major thoroughfares makes it a convenient option for golfers in the northwest suburbs. The clubhouse provides standard amenities including food service and a pro shop, supporting both casual rounds and organized league play throughout the Colorado golf season.
