Bear
Bear course is aptly named for the black bears that are spotted here every summer. Opened in 1985, this course is the original of Breckenridge Golf Club. Bear is the most open of the three nines, traveling through open meadows, grasses, and wetlands. Views of the Tenmile Range and Breckenridge Ski Resort can be seen on every hole but are especially impressive on holes 5, 8, and 9. Bear presents challenges to its players- holes 7, 8, and 9 are the toughest at the club!
Beaver
Beaver was the second nine to open, making its debut in 1987. Beaver is much narrower compared to Bear, requiring accurate drives. Keep an eye out along holes 6, 7, and 8 for rock piles- echoes of the mining history of the area. This course gets its name from the many beaver ponds that can be found near holes 6, 7, and 9. The ponds, winds, and elevation changes are the biggest challenges to be found on this course.
Elk
The things that draw in elk to this course- open grasses, lake access, variety of plantlife- are also challenges for golfers! While not as open as Bear or as narrow as Beaver, the Elk course requires accuracy. After the success of the Bear and Beaver courses, the Elk course was opened in 2001 and offers arguably the best mountain views on all 27 holes. Elk reaches the highest elevation on the entire golf course at 9,445 feet!
