2024 Colorado AvidGolfer Private Club Guide by Colorado AvidGolfer

CLUBS

CLUBS STAY NIMBLE Clubs must appeal to members across three generations ITS NOT JUST PICKLEBALL Prices and offerings at Colorado clubs

Clubs Working to Keep Pace with Demand

The people who run private clubs in Colorado like to give their members what they want. That has often been good service, good golf, good food, good amenities, and a place to feel good about being a member of.

But as the golfing population has gotten younger with the explosion of interest generated during the Covid era, clubs are finding that they have to evolve too.

The millennial generation is the largest single group in the U.S. now; there are more of them than baby boomers, Gen-X, and the Gen-y young’uns coming up behind them. There are more than 72 million people in the U.S. between the ages of 28 and 43, and some days it seems like all of them have moved to Colorado and are in line for a tee time.

To keep their memberships strong, many clubs are fishing where the fish are, evolving to cater to this new type of member.

The Ranch Country Club and Hiwan Golf Club are among the clubs adding amenities aimed at young parents. They have daycare services available for older children for parents to use when they come for classes, golf or dinners, and

summer camps that are intended to provide a good experience using the club’s pools and courses.

Now the clubs are working to set up care services for even younger.

“Many prospective members are looking for year- round daycare starting at infant age,” said Micah Levensen, director of membership for both clubs.

The average age of their members 10 years ago was 64; today it is 51.

“We have tons of young families,” she said.

As always, the trends in affordability remain in the eye of the beholder.

Almost all clubs raised their monthly dues, according to our annual survey of clubs that is printed later in this edition.

Several clubs have pushed their initiation fees past $200,000 and several of the old-guard clubs are no longer releasing publicly how much they are charging new members.

For clubs that are offering good service, however, they find they are still getting new members.

“I thought with the way the economy is going and inflation

it would affect membership, but it was still a very good year last year,” said Tracey Kalata, membership director at Garden of the Gods Resort in Colorado Springs.

Judging by the number of pickleball courts being added at clubs all across Colorado, the sport is well-beyond its early days when people curiously explored this new pastime. Pickleball now is a bona fide expectation for many club members.

“Like the rest of the world, we are adding an additional three pickleball courts to our existing four,” said David P. Chadbourne, the general manager of the Maroon Creek Club in Aspen. “There is big demand that isn’t going away anytime soon.”

Courses from Cherry Hills Country Club to Aspen Glenn and everywhere in between have included golf simulator bays as an important part of recent renovations. The number of players enjoying ‘off-grass’ golf in the U.S. is growing at an even steeper rate than on-course participation.

Aspen Creek is an example of a club that spent 2023 keeping pace with the amenities-arms race that all clubs face – trying to keep up-

to-date across the board from their golf courses to the clubhouse and beyond.

“Last year we finished a course renovation including redoing all of our bunkers,” said James Folske, the membership director for Aspen Glen in Carbondale. “We put in all new bunker liners, new sand and even moved many locations to make our course more up to date with the modern times and equipment that has changed the game. Jack Nicklaus and Jack Nicklaus II came back out to be a part of this process and to keep us a Jack Nicklaus Signature Course.”

And clubs are also finding that members are using them, in some cases, more than before. Things have changed quite a bit in the past 10 years, and whether it is simply providing a place where it is possible to get a tee time, or else a good community of people with shared interests, today’s private clubs are finding that when they provide a good experience, their members stay happy.

“Post-covid everyone is wanting to be more connected and interacting on a social level,” Chadbourne said.

Golf Vehicles are Branching out to the Neighborhoods

It turns out golfers were a couple decades ahead of the crowd when it comes to driving electric vehicles.

EVs are common on our highways. But for many years they’ve been quietly trundling up and down the fairways and paths of golf links.

Colorado Golf & Turf of Littleton has been part of that growth. An early provider of gas and electric vehicles for golf courses, Colorado Golf and Turf is now riding a wave of new EV development.

For Colorado Golf & Turf this is a year of taking advantage of some big moves the company made in 2023. Their new office in Grand Junction opened last year – just their third location after their home in Littleton and their Nebraska Golf & Turf affiliate in Lincoln, Neb. They also added some partnerships and new lines.

The company began as the region’s Club Car distributor and has grown to offer an array of vehicles and tools for the golf and landscaping industry. And as the personal use of vehicles that are increasingly mis-named ‘golf carts’ – the company has filled that need as well.

One of the growing segments that is coming

to Colorado is the neighborhood electric vehicle. This is a category of EV which can travel at speeds up to 25 MPH and is legal on roads with up to 35 MPH speed limits. They are very common in sunbelt planned communities in Florida, Arizona and elsewhere (think of the videos of the parade of carts you’ve seen from The Villages development north of Orlando).

Now they are being used in mountain towns like Aspen, Vail and Breckenridge. And newer master-planned communities, like Sterling Ranch south of Littleton, are candidates too.

“They’d be allowed in any gated community,” said Abbie Randel, Colorado Golf & Turf’s vice president of operations.

Vehicles available through Colorado Golf & Turf include Club Car’s CRU brand as well as the luxury Garia line from Denmark – think stitched leather seats.

Club Car’s CRU is a six-seater, low-speed streetlegal EV that can be outfitted with all manner of couch-style or other seating. Prices start at around $25,000. Garia’s start at around $22,000 for the starter two-seater and around $29,000 for the six-seat option. The on-board mini-refrigera-

tor is an additional $1,000.

The EV industry for golf and utility vehicles like those from Club Car and Garia is going through the exact same technology advancement that the Teslas of the world are also going through. Battery life and range are increasing with each new model.

Colorado Golf & Turf also offers an array of equipment and tools for the turf industry from Husqvarna, Cub Cadet and other brands.

OUR EXPERIENCE

THE MAIN CLUBHOUSE received a $2.1 million upgrade in the fall of 2023 and it shows. New finishings, furniture, lighting and artwork have made the clubhouse a comfortable and welcoming home for you and your family.

THE GOLF

HIWAN HAS ALWAYS OFFERED THE BEST in mountain golf, near the plains. With most Denver courses boasting high altitude as a measly 5,280 feet, Hiwan towers above at 7,000 feet. The rolling and wooded terrain is the first glimpse east of the front range that a golfer can get of what Rocky Mountain golf can be like. With great power comes great responsibility – many of the fairways are pitched toward water and other nefariousness and that extra length can get you in trouble if you’re not careful. Drive responsibly.

OUR EXPERIENCE

OUR CLUB IS SERIOUS about the variety of sports and activities that it offers its members. Our premier membership, the Golf Membership, gives full access not only to the course, fitness center, pool and tennis and pickleball courts, but also full access to the club’s private stretch of the Rio Grande River and our riverfront lodge. There is no better fly fishing in southern Colorado than along our banks. With two restaurants, club facilities and the best golf in the region we offer the perfect mountain getaway for club members to relax and enjoy. We are located in the middle of the family-friendly and

THE GOLF

OUR COURSE gives two distinct experiences. Nine holes wind through the river basin of the Rio Grande, with ponds and the river providing plenty of challenge. The course rewards straight hitters, and it is not uncommon for players to dial back their yardage to keep themselves in position for a good score. The back nine take players up and down the local foothills and provide gorgeous views and great challenges. You’ll climb high and have stunning views. Then Nos. 17 and 18 will return you back to the alpine luxury of our 25,000 square foot clubhouse..

CLUBBINGUP

THERE’S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN

The Colorado private-club solar system is about to see a giant, new planet come into orbit.

Dream Golf, the creators of one of the most successful destination-golf experiences in the country – Bandon Dunes in Oregon - is about to begin construction on their signature Colorado location, Rodeo Dunes. The club is seeking to sell about 200 founding memberships at $75,000 apiece, and believes they will hit their goal by mid-summer.

The courses will be member/public. For the other Dream Golf locations that means nearly every tee time is taken up by members and travelers staying on site, and tee sheets can fill up more than a year in advance. The Rodeo Dunes project is potentially up to six courses to be built out over the next decade. Work on the first two is expected to begin this spring.

During a tour this winter of the seething, rolling sand dunes that will house Rodeo Dunes, three things jumped out that will make the complex a strong new member of the Colorado club community:

Momentum: When Dream Golf founder Mike Keiser began work on Bandon Dunes in the 1990s, there were many doubters who wondered if premium-priced golf far from population centers could succeed. Six courses and 25 years later, there are no doubters anymore. Dream Golf has a track record – what it says it will build, it will build. And golfers will come.

Location: The tiny crossroads of Roggen feeks very out of the way from the Denver metropolitan area. The highway interchange off Interstate 76 plunks cars into a tiny village of homes, a motel, and a single gas station where the rest rooms haven’t worked in years. And yet, at noon on a Thursday, it took about 60 minutes to drive there from Greenwood Village. It is much closer than it seems. It is 40 miles from Denver International Airport – the same from the airport to Boulder or Highlands Ranch.

Unique land: The 4,000 acres of sand dunes that Dream Golf has acquired have to be walked to be understood. It would be possible for the course architects to design courses in which every single shot across 18 holes was a blind shot. They will not do that, but that is how heaving and undulating these dunes are. Ballyneal, on Colorado’s

eastern edge, was the first elite club to lure golfers to Colorado-dunes country, and it is routinely listed as one of the great courses in the world. Rodeo Dunes has a canvas that is equal to it, if not more rolling. They have the capacity to create something special.

Now, it’s Castle Pines Golf Club’s turn. Last year a Colorado private golf club, Cherry Hills Country Club, earned the attention of the golfing world as it did an excellent job hosting the U.S. Men’s Amateur. The course challenged the world’s best amateurs, and the final round provided great theater as then-amateur Nick Dunlap defeated Pittsburgh’s Neal Shipley 4-and-3.

This August the top 50 PGA Tour pros will visit Castle Pines Golf Club for the second round of the FedEx Cup playoffs.

COLORADO CLUBS TEST BEST THE

The Jack Nicklaus-designed course in Castle Rock hosted the PGA Tour’s International Tournament from 1986 to 2006, but hasn’t had a pro event since. This summer the course will challenge the top golfers in the world, with the top 30 moving on to the FedEx Cup final and the largest paycheck in PGA Tour golf. And Colorado private clubs will remain in the spotlight one more year. The USGA’s 2025 Senior Open Championship will be held June 26 to 29 at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs.
