West/Babe Lind at Kennedy Golf Course

Kennedy Golf Course's West/Babe Lind combination represents one half of this 36-hole municipal facility in Aurora, Colorado. The course was designed by Henry Hughes and Dick Phelps, architects who contributed to several public golf facilities across the Rocky Mountain region during the mid-to-late twentieth century. Kennedy serves the eastern Denver metropolitan area and reflects the practical design approach common to municipal courses of its era, emphasizing playability and maintenance efficiency for high-volume public play.

The layout occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the High Plains geography east of Denver, where the landscape transitions from the Front Range foothills to the prairie. The course features the mature tree plantings and water features typical of Colorado municipal designs, which provide definition and strategic interest on otherwise open ground. Prevailing winds from the west can influence play, particularly on exposed holes, and the high altitude affects ball flight as it does throughout the Denver area.

Kennedy Golf Course serves a diverse population of local golfers and visitors seeking accessible public golf in the Aurora area. The facility's two eighteens—West/Babe Lind and East/Kennedy—can be mixed to create different combinations, a format that adds variety for regular players. The course maintains its role as a community golf resource, offering straightforward golf in a region where public access remains important to the game's growth and accessibility.
