Born
in 1891 as a gambling casino and transformed into a
"grand resort" in 1918, the five star, five diamond
Broadmoor continues to shine brightly as one of the world's
premier resorts.
Located in Colorado Springs at the foot of the Rockies, The
Broadmoor provides an environment of unparalleled beauty
and luxury surrounded by the mountains and centered by Cheyenne
Lake. One of the few resorts in the country to have earned
the Mobil Five Star and the AAA Five Diamond
ratings every year since the awards were established, The
Broadmoor is proud to provide guests with the finest in accommodations
and services.
The Broadmoor Golf Courses are designed to delight
the eye and challenge even the most seasoned player. The East
Course was designed by Donald Ross in 1917. When
it was completed in 1918, it was the highest 18-hole golf
course in the United States. Numerous tournaments have been
held on this course over the years, most recently the 1995
U.S. Women's Open Championship.
The resort's West eighteen-hole course, designed by Robert
Trent Jones Sr., was completed in 1964. The course is
considered even more challenging than the first due to its
steeply angled greens.
Ed Seay of the Arnold Palmer group designed the third,
Mountain Course, completed in 1976. The course, with its
separate clubhouse, offers players a series of dramatic views
and superb golfing.
Given Colorado Springs' mild climate, golf can be played
all year round with occasional interruptions for snow during
the winter. Group tournaments can be arranged upon request.
