Russ Miller (PGA, Director of Golf) / Mark Kelbel (PGA, Head Golf Professional).The Course:
18 holes. Tree-lined & open parkland. Undulating terrain - a few slopes to climb.
Surroundings:
Woodland and limited residential.
Designer:
Holes 1-6 and 15-18 on today's West course come from the original Donald Ross design (opened in 1918); holes 7-14 were designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr (1964).
The two 18-hole golf courses at The Broadmoor are: East course (par-72, 7355 yds from back tees); West course (par-71, 7016 yds). The resort's Mountain course (par-72, 7637 yds; located 2 mi S of the main resort centre) was forced to close in 2015 following a land slippage; unsure if and when it will reopen.

Broadmoor, The (West)
The Broadmoor Golf Club (West course): The Broadmoor Resort is located a few miles outside the city of Colorado Springs on the edge of Cheyenne Mountain State Park. Here you'll find two excellent 18-hole championship golf layouts: the much revered East course, and the also Donald Ross inspired and pleasantly testing West course. The Broadmoor's relatively newer Mountain course (located two miles from the main resort centre) closed in 2015 due to a land slippage; as of 2023 it is still closed.
The West course is a tree-lined and open parkland layout that should not disappoint, with many attractive features and several excellent holes to enjoy. The layout plays tighter off the tee than the East Course, with more heavily tree-lined holes and an array of demanding approach shots.
Rolling fairways, multi-level greens, and demanding hazards also add to the demands of the formidable West course. Perched at an elevation of 6,800 feet, this 18-hole course has more doglegs and steeply-angled greens than the East, and offers wonderful views of both the mountains and Colorado Springs.
Stay&Play at The Broadmoor: luxury onsite accommodation available (see Where2Stay section below).

The original Broadmoor Golf Club's 18-hole course was designed by classic architect Donald Ross at the behest of Spencer Penrose, who envisioned turning his new mountain property into a world-class resort. Since opening in 1918 many U.S. Presidents, politicians, celebrities, top athletes and some of the greatest names in golf have all played here.

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
