Breckenridge Golf Course
The Town of Breckenridge is the only municipality in the world to own a Jack Nicklaus designed, 27-hole golf course. Many honors have been awarded by the Colorado Golfer (the State Golf Newspaper) including; Best Mountain Course, and Toughest Mountain Course. Golf Digest “Places to Play” rates Breckenridge as a 4 1/2 Star Facility, and as one of their top “Upscale Places To Play” in the nation. In May 2010, Golfweek rated Breckenridge as one of the “Top 50 Municipal Courses” in the nation. The course is also Zagat rated.
The Breckenridge Golf Course is located in a beautiful mountain valley. The Breckenridge Golf Club clubhouse sits at an elevation of 9,324 feet. At this elevation the golf ball flies farther and straighter than at lower elevations, as there is less air resistance. The air not only allows you to hit the ball farther, but also offers temperatures that make you forget about the heat of the summer. Typical daytime summer temperatures range from 65 degrees to 80 degrees. Quite rarely will the temperature exceed 80.
The course has four sets of tees so that each golfer may select the challenge equal to their game. From the Nicklaus Tees on the Beaver/Bear rotation, the course plays 7,261 yards and has a course rating of 73.9 with a slope rating of 147. A challenge for even the best golfer. Each set of tees plays to a par 72.
