Lake Valley Golf Club

The Front Range foothills provide a dramatic backdrop for this surprisingly challenging layout that plays longer than its 6,800 yards suggest, thanks to Colorado's thin air and persistent winds. The signature par-3 14th demands a precise carry over water to a peninsula green, while the dogleg-left 18th rewards aggressive drives with a clear approach to the amphitheater green. Don't let the municipal price fool you—this track punishes wayward shots with native grass areas and strategically placed water hazards that separate weekend hackers from serious players.
