Broadmoor Resort

West at The Broadmoor is the embodiment of Rocky Mountain golf, tracing its lineage back to the storied resort's early days. This parkland-style course, meandering through the foothills near Colorado Springs, demands thoughtful play with its tree-lined fairways and strategic bunkering. Players can expect significant elevation changes that impact club selection and demand precise approaches to undulating greens. Donald Ross initially sculpted the West Course, leaving his strategic mark on the landscape. Later, Robert Trent Jones Sr. refined the layout, enhancing its challenge and visual appeal. The course played host to the 1959 U.S. Amateur, where the legendary Jack Nicklaus won his first major championship. While it doesn't hold the same national cachet as its sibling, The East Course, The West at The Broadmoor remains a favorite among members. It's the kind of course where camaraderie thrives, where friendly wagers and post-round storytelling are as integral to the experience as the golf itself. Its legacy is not in championships, but in providing a classic resort experience. And for those who have played The Broadmoor for decades - don’t dare forget to grab a “burger dog” post round, a Broadmoor family staple.
