Plains Nine at Patty Jewett Golf Club occupies the flatter terrain on the eastern portion of this historic Colorado Springs municipal facility. Willie Campbell, a Scottish professional who designed the original course in 1898, created one of Colorado's oldest golf layouts on land donated by the Jewett family. The course sits at approximately 6,000 feet elevation on the high plains east of Pikes Peak, where the Rocky Mountain foothills transition to the Great Plains. The Plains Nine routing reflects the natural topography of its setting, with relatively level fairways compared to the club's more dramatic Bluffs Nine. The holes move across open ground with mature cottonwoods and pines providing definition and wind protection. At this elevation, the thin air affects ball flight noticeably, and players adjust club selection accordingly. The greens maintain the character of early American golf design, with modest undulation and straightforward approach angles. Patty Jewett serves as Colorado Springs' oldest public golf course and has introduced generations of local golfers to the game. The facility operates as a traditional municipal course with accessible green fees and a welcoming atmosphere for players of all abilities. The clubhouse preserves elements of the course's long history while serving daily-fee traffic. Together with the Bluffs Nine, the Plains routing provides variety within a single property, allowing golfers to experience both the open character of the high plains and the more dramatic terrain closer to the mountains.
