A Denver Golf Experience Unlike Any Other
Todd Creek Golf Club is a links-inspired championship golf course located 25 miles north of Denver in the suburban city of Thornton, Colorado. Widely regarded as one of the best public courses in the Denver metropolitan area, it anchors a 55+ residential community and is a popular tee time for golfers looking for a challenging but playable layout. Legendary course architect Arthur Hills laid out the playing field, formerly known as Heritage Todd Creek Golf Course, in 2007. Six judiciously spaced sets of tee markers present differentiated challenges between 4,514 yards and 7,435 yards. While houses line both sides of several fairways, the playing corridors are generous, and the homes aren’t a distraction. Todd Creek Golf Club is a wide open, exposed layout that rambles over gently rolling terrain with the Rocky Mountains in the distance. Though the playing field is fairly flat, the contoured fairways often slip away at the margins. Native grasses and strategically placed bunkers constitute the principal defenses against par at Todd Creek Golf Club. Water, in the form of a couple of lakes and a drainage ditch, enters the fray on a few holes. The greens are large, sloped and rather fast. Some of the putting surfaces are domed. Over the years the club has earned a reputation for fine course conditioning. Despite the fact that Todd Creek Golf Club is the most high-profile feature of a retirement community, the expansive golf course is too spread out to be conducive to walking. If you were just to walk the cart paths, you would put in a good 9.5 miles on foot. Practice facilities at Todd Creek Golf Club include a spacious driving range, two chipping greens, and a putting green. The clubhouse boasts a well-stocked pro shop and a restaurant.
