The Knolls is one of two courses at Riverdale Dunes & Knolls, a municipal golf facility located in Brighton, Colorado, approximately twenty miles northeast of Denver. Designed by Henry Hughes and opened in the mid-1980s, the course serves as a counterpoint to its sibling layout, Riverdale Dunes, offering a different playing experience within the same property. The facility operates under the management of the City of Brighton and provides accessible public golf to the northern Denver metropolitan area. The Knolls plays across terrain that features more elevation change and tree-lined corridors than the links-style Dunes course. The routing incorporates mature cottonwoods and other native vegetation, with holes that move through rolling ground characteristic of the South Platte River valley landscape. Water comes into play on several holes, and the design emphasizes strategic shot placement rather than pure length. The course layout rewards accuracy and course management, making it approachable for a wide range of skill levels while still presenting challenges for better players. As a municipal facility, Riverdale has developed a reputation for conditioning that exceeds typical expectations for public golf in Colorado. The Knolls sees steady play from both local residents and visitors exploring golf options in the Brighton area. The facility's dual-course setup allows golfers to experience contrasting design philosophies in a single visit, with The Knolls providing a more traditional parkland experience compared to the open, windswept character of the Dunes.
