Venue Overview

Aspen Golf Club is the City of Aspen's municipal golf course, an 18-hole, par-71 layout just two miles from downtown that ranks among the longest and best-conditioned municipal courses in Colorado. Designed by Frank Hummel and set across former pastureland in the Roaring Fork Valley, the course is known for water in play on 14 of its 18 holes, undulating greens, and 360-degree mountain views with Pyramid Peak almost always in sight. Open to the public and maintained to a standard locals compare to the area's private clubs, Aspen Golf Club is a scenic, welcoming, and surprisingly affordable home for tournaments, outings, and group play.

About the Course

Operated by the City of Aspen, Aspen Golf Club plays as an 18-hole, par-71 parkland course that stretches past 7,100 yards from the back tees, making it one of the longest municipal courses in the state. With four sets of tees and a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary designation, it balances real challenge with accessibility and environmental stewardship.

The Playing Experience

Aspen Golf Club proves a municipal course can play like a private one. The parkland layout weaves water into nearly every hole and finishes each with an undulating green that rewards a good read, with a local's tip being that putts always break toward the valley. Narrow, tree-lined fairways and clever contouring keep better players honest, while the four tee sets make the course fair for everyone, and the thin mountain air sends drives noticeably farther. Through it all, the scenery steals the show, with Pyramid Peak, Mount Hayden, and Independence Pass framing a course that walks beautifully and stays in immaculate shape all season. It is consistently regarded as one of the finest municipal courses in the country.
