    As good as it gets for views in Colorado. Some amazing bunkering on the final stretch of holes. An even better par 3 tee box next to the clubhouse. A must play in the area.

    Hosted a US Open qualifier years ago. No real water damage except on 2-3 holes, but this is a very tree-lined course. If you spray it off the tee, you will have a lot of punch outs.

How we rank

This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Windsor, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
