About the Course

Boulder Country Club's championship golf course is an 18-hole, par-70 layout designed by noted architect J. Press Maxwell and completed at the club's Gunbarrel location in 1963, with a recent renovation refreshing the course for the modern game. A traditional country club design, it meanders through a quiet residential neighborhood, framed by mature trees, winding canals, and several lakes, and is known for quick, smooth greens. As a private club, play is reserved for members and their guests. Course features: 18-hole, par-70 championship course designed by J.

A Course With History

Boulder Country Club's roots run more than a century deep. Founded in 1920, the club sought to grow to 18 holes in the late 1920s, only to see those plans halted by the 1929 stock market crash and the Great Depression. In a remarkable twist, the original course became the seed of Boulder's public golf, when the City of Boulder and the Works Progress Administration developed part of the old grounds into a municipal course that opened in 1937, today's Flatirons Golf Course. The country club, meanwhile, moved to the Gunbarrel area to build a larger eighteen, and in 1963 the current Press Maxwell course was completed, followed by a clubhouse, tennis courts, and an Olympic-size pool. More than a hundred years on, that legacy of Boulder golf lives on at the club.

The Playing Experience

Boulder Country Club plays as a classic, traditional test where position and touch matter more than power. Press Maxwell routed the course through the mature, tree-lined Gunbarrel neighborhood, so accuracy off the tee is rewarded, while winding canals and several lakes bring water into the strategy. The real signature, though, is the greens, quick, smooth, and full of subtle character, with the kind of green complexes that make a strong short game essential. Recently renovated and always well-conditioned, with Rocky Mountain views framing the round, it is the sort of course, as one visiting rater put it, with no bad holes, a layout that holds up beautifully even in Colorado's deep field of great clubs.
