Course Improvements

Wellshire Golf Course

Wellshire Drainage Improvements Completed

Wellshire has finished installing the underground drain pipe to dry out areas on #1, #7 and #10 fairways. These areas have some new sod that is growing in where the drainage water from the lake was making these fairways soggy. We appreciate your patience during the construction and hope you enjoy the improved playing conditions on these holes.

Highline Canal Project

The Highline Canal Project began construction on May 4th. The portion of the project on Wellshire Golf Course will connect the Cherry Hill neighborhood to Wellshire and Eisenhower Park through two underpasses on Hampden and South Colorado Blvd. The trail will run parallel to hole #17 and be protected by a 10' high safety fence. This project will close the existing gap in the High Line Canal Trail and allow users to connect to and from Cherry Hills Village. It will take approximately one year to complete.

Kennedy Golf Course Safety Notice

Your safety is very important to us, therefore we have closed the bridge on #9 Creek at Kennedy Golf Course.

The annual release of water from the Cherry Creek reservoir caused underscoring to the bridge making it unsafe. Unfortunately, repairing or replacing the bridge is not a quick fix. We are closing it until we can repair or replace it this fall. There will be an
alternate route provided during this time.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we assess the situation.
