Inverness: Denver’s Closest Golf Resort

By John Edwards

As Denver’s closest golf resort, The Inverness Hotel & Golf Club  is located south of the city at I-25 and County Line Road.

The course was designed by Press Maxwell in 1974 and was a popular private course long before the hotel was built.

The 6,889-yard course plays to a par 70 and tough enough to have hosted the Colorado Open for several years. Additionally, the Colorado Section PGA Championships and Colorado’s first two Celebrity Tour events were played there. All the state golf associations have held their annual meetings there. More.

Estes Park: A Denver Favorite

By John Edwards

Probably the best combination of a short drive from Denver, great scenery and reasonably priced mountain golf is in Estes Park.  It is one of the first mountain course to clear of snow. The fairways are wide and open. Unlike many mountain courses, Estes Park’s two courses are not bordered by thick groves of aspen and lodgepole pine. In fact, the fairways are so open the area where the 18-hole course is located was once an airport. More.
