Looking to take your golf game to new heights? How about 9,000+ feet?! Breckenridge Golf Club features three nine-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Courses- a world-premier golfing experience for everyone from novice to expert.

The course is located in an area once known as Buffalo Flats, which was originally a tent city of miners. You can still view mining tailings and experience the course’s rich local history. The three courses- Bear, Beaver, and Elk- all feature breathtaking mountain views and diverse plants and wildlife.

Amenities at the club include a golf shop, practice facilities, driving range, restaurant, and bar. Try out one of their special events, such as complimentary adult clinics, family golf night, or Wine and Nine!

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!
