Charity Golf Tournament-The Broadmoor, West Course
Registration/Breakfast: 7am
Shotgun start: 8am
Price: $225pp
Club Rentals Available: $76pp
Get ready for rolling fairways, multi-level greens, and demanding hazards at the stunning yet formidable West Course. At 6,800 feet, this 18-hole course has more doglegs and steeply-angled greens than the East Course, and offers breathtaking views of both the mountains and Colorado Springs.
The West Course plays tighter off the tee, with more heavily tree-lined holes than the East Course, and also gives players an array of spectacular approach shots. Don’t let the stunning mountain views distract you; our West Course may look like a postcard, but it offers a very challenging and rewarding round of golf.
A combination of the original 1918 Donald Ross design and the Robert Trent Jones, Sr. 1964 design, the West Course offers our guests a challenging course with spectacular views.
- Holes 1-6 – Donald Ross
- Holes 7-14 – Robert Trent Jones, Sr.
- Holes 15-18 – Donald Ross
The West Course was the host site of the 1998 PGA Cup Matches.
