Reimagined, Redesigned And Revitalized
Redesigning a golf course can be a daunting task and monumental undertaking, but perhaps even more so for a historically significant and popular course like City Park that has stood as a beacon in Denver’s burgeoning golf community since 1913.
A redesign, which began in fall of 2017 and concluded in fall of 2020, was done to revitalize the course and improve facilities while integrating a stormwater detention area to help mitigate and reduce flood risks in surrounding neighborhoods.
The renewed course preserves the traditional parkland style and offers important glimpses of the old course while providing a new experience at the same time. Intricate water features, elevation changes and a variety of green complexes challenge all golfers. A spectacular panorama of the downtown skyline and mountains provide the best view in the city, and modernized amenities will be enjoyed by golfers and neighbors alike for generations to come.
