Winter Tee Time Updates

To minimize frost delays and maximize opportunities for players to get on the course, we will be moving to a double tee start for 18-hole rounds on November 16th.

Tee times will be available starting on holes #1 & #10 from 10 am to 12 pm.
9-hole rounds will be available after 2 pm, weather and daylight provided.
When making your tee time, select both "Course" and "Course 10th Tee" to view all available tee times (see example below).

Kennedy 18-hole rounds will be played on Babe/West course due to frost concerns on the Creek 9.
Kennedy Creek and Par-3 courses will be available for 9-hole rounds starting at 10 am.
While this will minimize the chance of frost delays, a frost delay may still occur. If there is a delay due to frost, we will send an email with details to all players with a reservation.

COVID Updates

Due to the recent rise in COVID-19 cases in Denver, we have decided to close the pro shops for the safety of our customers and our staff. Golf courses will remain open.

Pro shops are closed

Practice facilities remain open

Call the pro shop to pay for range balls. You will be assigned a station number and range balls will be delivered to your station by a range attendant.
If you have a range card you can purchase range balls at the machine. The key pad will be wiped down frequently by the range attendant.
Chipping and putting greens will remain open with 6' physical distancing.

Restaurant and restrooms remain open

Face covering is required.
Restaurants are open for outdoor seating or to go food.

Please remember to keep 6' or more physical distancing at all times. Players are required to wear a face covering in and around the clubhouse. Visit our website for all updated Covid Policies and information.

However, we can still do more, and we need your help to reach our goals!

Colorado Gives Day is coming up on Tuesday, December 8th. You can make a donation to First Tee for Colorado Gives Day below. You can even schedule it in advance today and it will process on Colorado Gives Day.

Course Improvements

Harvard Gulch Golf Course

Harvard Gulch Pond and Irrigation Improvements In Progress

Harvard Gulch is closed through April 30, 2021 for an improvement project on the pond and irrigation system. This project will help with the following on the golf course:

Conservation of potable water
New seating and viewing areas
Constant water circulation reducing mosquito breeding grounds, population, growth, development
Restoration of native species and wildlife
Additional character and a new challenge to the golf course
Improved irrigation equipment for less water usage and more efficient energy consumption
Improved course drainage

Kennedy Golf Course Safety Notice

Your safety is very important to us, therefore we have closed the bridge on Creek #9 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. There will be an alternate route provided during this time.

Construction on the bridge is scheduled to take place December - February. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we make the repairs.

Fencing around City Park to remain until Spring

Although construction is complete, the fence surrounding City Park Golf Course will remain in place until Spring of 2021. This fence is remaining in place in order to protect the sensitive new turf from unauthorized use during the winter months, and to minimize foot traffic while we are working on remaining projects within the golf course.
