Few Front Range private clubs carry the institutional weight of Columbine Country Club. Founded in the early 20th century and long established as one of the Denver metro area's most prestigious members' clubs, Columbine has served as a gathering point for Colorado's golf community for generations — hosting Colorado Open championships and other significant regional competitions over its history.
The course sits in Littleton, just south of Denver, where the high-altitude conditions of the Colorado Front Range play their familiar tricks: the thin air at roughly 5,400 feet above sea level adds real distance to every iron, and the dry, firm turf that characterizes this part of the state rewards a ground game that many resort visitors never develop. The Rocky Mountain backdrop to the west gives the property a visual drama that no scorecard can communicate.
As a private club, Columbine's culture runs deep — members here are serious about their golf and about the club itself. The course rewards course management and local knowledge, the kind that only comes from playing the same ground year after year.
