Few American golf clubs carry the tournament pedigree of Castle Pines. Jack Nicklaus designed the course, which opened in 1981, and it quickly became the home of The International — a PGA Tour event run under the modified Stableford scoring format that rewarded birdies and eagles while penalizing bogeys. That unique format suited Castle Pines perfectly, because the layout demands aggressive, high-risk play rather than conservative course management. The International ran here from 1986 through 2006, drawing the world's best players to the Colorado foothills every August.
The course sits in Douglas County, in the dense Ponderosa pine forest that gives the club its name and character. Elevation changes are dramatic throughout the round, and the thin air at roughly 6,400 feet adds genuine distance to every shot — a factor that makes club selection genuinely interesting. The pines frame nearly every hole, creating a sense of isolation and beauty that photographs can't fully capture.
Castle Pines remains a private club and is consistently ranked among the premier courses in Colorado, a state whose golf scene punches well above its national profile. Nicklaus shaped terrain that rewards creativity off the tee, and the conditioning has historically matched the course's elite reputation.
