The Broadmoor Golf Club East Course

About The Broadmoor Golf Club East Course

You're looking at one of Donald Ross's western masterpieces, dating back to 1918 when the legendary architect was at the height of his powers. The East Course sits at the base of Cheyenne Mountain with the Broadmoor resort, offering dramatic elevation changes that Ross brilliantly incorporated into his strategic design philosophy. Unlike many mountain courses that rely purely on scenery, this layout demands precise shot-making with Ross's signature crowned greens, strategic bunkering, and routing that flows naturally with the terrain's contours. What sets this apart from other resort courses is Ross's ability to create multiple playing options on nearly every hole, rewarding course management over pure distance. The greens here are quintessential Ross – subtle slopes that punish poor approach shots while rewarding those who study the pin positions. At over a century old, the course has matured beautifully, and being publicly accessible makes it a steal compared to typical resort pricing. The walking-friendly policy lets you experience the course as Ross intended, though the altitude and elevation changes will test your stamina.
