The Colorado Golfer dubbed Nicklaus' course both Best Mountain Course and Toughest Mountain Course. Also, Golf Digest awarded it with 4-and-a-half stars in its "Places to Play" guide and included it in one of the top "Upscale Places to Play" in the country.
What makes Breckenridge Golf Club one of the best golf courses? There are just some of the good reasons why you should try playing golf in Breckenridge:
The reputation of the designer is not the only spectacular thing about this golf course. If you want to keep any sort of golf credentials, then you should try playing at high elevations. The clubhouse of the golf course is sitting just over 9,300 feet. The high elevation makes golf balls fly higher and straighter than those at low elevation due to less air resistance. It is certainly a factor that could significantly improve your golf game.
Temperatures during the golf season are ideal for a day on the course. You won't have to sweat your way from hole to hole as you will in other golf courses since high elevation also means cooler temperatures. In the summer, the average temperature is between70 and 80 degrees. It is always advised to bring a jacket as spring averages normally in the high 50s and fall months in the 60s so you'll enjoy the best of spring and fall golfing in Breckenridge.
Even expert golfers will have the greatest challenge at the Breckenridge Golf Club; after all, it was designed by Jack Nicklaus. Four sets of tees where each plays to a par of 72 let you pick your course as well as your difficulty level.
What probably makes golfing in Breckenridge the best experience is the scenery. The Bear Nine puts you on the historic land that was once a tent city for Breckenridge miners in search of gold. You will be provided with stunning views of native grasses, wetlands, and both the Ten-Mile Range and the Breckenridge Ski Resort from these holes. The narrow Beaver Nine also showcase remnants of the rock piles left behind by miners. Although beaver ponds may add to the difficulty of some holes here, the view of Buffalo Mountain is enough to take away your frustration. The Elk Nine also offers the widest panoramic views of Breckenridge's Ten-Mile Range. The overall backdrop includes a lake and abundant bushes and greenery which may work to increase your difficulty level but will absolutely please your eyes.
