The Meadows Golf Club




About this course
The Meadows Golf Club sits in Littleton, a suburb southwest of Denver, where the High Plains meet the foothills of the Front Range. The course was designed by Brad Benz, Mike Poellot, and Dick Phelps, a collaborative effort that reflects the regional approach to mountain-adjacent golf architecture common in the Denver metropolitan area. The routing takes advantage of the natural elevation changes and open meadow character typical of this transitional landscape between urban development and the Rocky Mountain backdrop. The design works with the property's native grasses and rolling terrain, incorporating water features and strategic bunkering that frame holes against views of the distant peaks. Courses in this part of Colorado often contend with altitude effects on ball flight and the challenge of maintaining turf in a semi-arid climate with intense sun and temperature swings. The layout likely emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while preserving the visual drama of the setting. The Meadows serves as a private club facility for its membership, offering a golf experience shaped by the distinctive conditions of Colorado's Front Range. The club provides the amenities typical of suburban Denver private clubs, where golf operates within a shorter season dictated by mountain weather patterns and where the altitude—roughly a mile above sea level—affects both course maintenance practices and how the game plays.

Getting there
The journey to The Meadows Golf Club begins at Denver International Airport, a straightforward 45-minute drive southwest into the foothills where the Great Plains meet the Front Range. The route traces the edge of metropolitan Denver before climbing gently into Littleton, where suburban sprawl gives way to open grassland and the first dramatic swells of the Rockies rise to the west. As you approach the club, the landscape opens into high-altitude meadowland - rolling, sun-drenched, and framed by distant peaks - a quiet transition from city to the kind of elevated terrain that defines Colorado golf.
