Valley Hi Golf Course


About this course
Valley Hi Golf Course sits in the northern part of Colorado Springs, a municipal facility that has served the community since the mid-twentieth century. Designed by Henry Hughes and opened in 1965, the course occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the high plains transitioning to the Front Range foothills. The layout provides accessible golf at an elevation of approximately 6,000 feet, where the thinner air affects ball flight and club selection. The course measures around 6,800 yards from the back tees and features a traditional parkland design with mature cottonwoods and other deciduous trees lining many fairways. Water comes into play on several holes, including ponds and irrigation channels that reflect the area's agricultural heritage. The routing is straightforward, with most holes playing in open corridors that offer views toward Pikes Peak and the surrounding mountains when weather permits. As a municipal course, Valley Hi serves a broad cross-section of Colorado Springs golfers, from beginners to experienced players. The facility includes a driving range and practice areas, and the course hosts local tournaments and league play throughout the season. The conditioning and pace of play reflect its role as a high-volume public course in a city with a strong military presence and outdoor recreation culture. Valley Hi represents the kind of affordable, accessible golf that municipal courses provide in mid-sized American cities.

Getting there
Most visitors to Valley Hi Golf Course touch down at Colorado Springs Airport, a compact commercial hub just fifteen minutes north of the course, though Denver International - roughly ninety minutes up Interstate 25 - offers broader connectivity for those arriving from afar. The drive from either gateway unfolds across high prairie terrain, with Pikes Peak's commanding silhouette growing ever larger to the west as you descend into the city proper. Valley Hi sits tucked into the southern reaches of Colorado Springs, where residential neighborhoods give way to open fairways framed by cottonwoods and the crisp, mile-high air that defines golf in the shadow of the Rockies.
