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.

For guests staying at the Broadmoor who would like to ship golf clubs ahead of them, they can be sent to Broadmoor Hotel, 15 Lake Circle, Colorado Springs, CO 80906 Attention: Your Reservation Name. Please be sure to attach your name to the golf clubs.
