Iconic Evergreen Golf Course Celebrates 100 Years of Golf and Scenic Beauty
Evergreen Golf Course, a cherished gem within the Denver Parks and Recreation Mountain Park system, is proud to celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2025. Since its creation as part of the historic Dedisse Ranch, Evergreen Golf Course has stood as a testament to both the rich heritage of the area and the timeless appeal of mountain golf. Over the past century, it has grown into Denver Golf’s signature mountain course, offering breathtaking views, challenging holes, and a tranquil escape from city life.
The course’s origins date back to 1925 when the City of Denver acquired the Dedisse Ranch property with plans to build a reservoir and recreational lake. It wasn’t long before the city constructed a nine-
hole golf course on the land, possibly designed by architect Jacques Benedict. This early design laid the foundation for what would become one of Denver’s most iconic golfing locations.
In 1983, Evergreen Golf Course underwent a significant remodel under the vision of Babe Lind, who believed it could become the “mountain jewel” of Denver’s municipal golf system. With newly seeded fairways, groomed greens, and a completely redesigned layout, the course re-opened in June 1983 and has since become a beloved destination for golfers of all levels.
The course features a number of unique holes, including the famed third hole, also known as the “rock hole.” This par-three,
measuring 109 yards, plays over a large rock formation and up a hill to a blind green. Golfers ring a bell once they’ve cleared the green to signal the next group, ensuring safety while enjoying the course’s natural beauty. The rock hole remains one of the most photographed holes at the course and continues to be a fan favorite.
At an elevation of 7,220 feet, Evergreen Golf Course offers stunning views of Bear Creek Valley and Evergreen Lake, with rolling hills and fairways lined by towering pine trees. The 18-hole, Par 69 course is not only a challenge for players but also a peaceful retreat where wildlife sightings, including elk, deer and marmots, are common. After a round of golf, visitors can enjoy a meal at the
restaurant in the club house, or shop at the pro shop, which is fully stocked with golf gear and apparel.
To commemorate 100 years of golfing excellence, Evergreen Golf Course will host a year-long celebration, including special events and more. Whether you play this course on a regular basis, or are a firsttime visitor, 2025 promises to be an unforgettable year at Evergreen Golf Course. About Denver Golf: Denver Golf has seven other venues with outstanding course conditions at the most affordable prices. From urban golf settings to mountain vistas, you will find it all here in Denver. If you live anywhere in the Denver Metro area, there is bound to be a course right in your back yard D
