Elmwood Golf Course

The high desert winds that whip across this classic Colorado layout demand every club in your bag, with elevation changes that turn mid-irons into wedges and wedges into prayers. Mature cottonwoods frame several holes along the Arkansas River valley, creating natural corridors that punish wayward drives while rewarding precision. At 4,600 feet above sea level, the thin air adds 15 yards to every shot, but don't let the altitude fool you—this track's strategic bunkering and undulating greens will humble any golfer who thinks distance alone wins the day.
