 Born
in 1891 as a gambling casino and transformed into
a "grand resort" in 1918, the five star, five
diamond Broadmoor continues to shine brightly as one of
the world's premier resorts.
Located in Colorado Springs at the foot of the Rockies,
The Broadmoor provides an environment of unparalleled
beauty and luxury surrounded by the mountains and centered
by Cheyenne Lake. One of the few resorts in the country
to have earned the Mobil Five Star and the AAA
Five Diamond ratings every year since the awards were
established, The Broadmoor is proud to provide guests with
the finest in accommodations and services.
The Broadmoor Golf Courses are designed to delight
the eye and challenge even the most seasoned player. The
East Course was designed by Donald Ross in 1917.
When it was completed in 1918, it was the highest 18-hole
golf course in the United States. Numerous tournaments have
been held on this course over the years, most recently the
1995 U.S. Women's Open Championship.
The resort's West eighteen-hole course, designed by
Robert Trent Jones Sr., was completed in 1964. The course
is considered even more challenging than the first due to
its steeply angled greens.
Ed Seay of the Arnold Palmer group designed the third,
Mountain Course, completed in 1976. The course, with
its separate clubhouse, offers players a series of dramatic
views and superb golfing.
Given Colorado Springs' mild climate, golf can be played
all year round with occasional interruptions for snow during
the winter. Group tournaments can be arranged upon request.
