Four Mile Ranch Golf Club

Venue Overview

Four Mile Ranch Golf Club is a public, 18-hole golf course in Cañon City, Colorado, designed by Jim Engh and built in 2008. Playing to a par of 72 across 7,053 yards, Four Mile Ranch swept national recognition in its debut year, including Golf Digest's #4 Best New Public Course in the United States.

About the Course

Jim Engh's design at Four Mile Ranch sprawls across a stunning landscape of gently rolling hills roughly 45 minutes southwest of Colorado Springs and 30 minutes west of I-25 at Pueblo. The layout closely follows the natural contours of the terrain and, unusually, uses no formal bunkers — in their place are white shale ridges called hogbacks that range anywhere from 3 to 30 feet in height, along with natural rock outcroppings and a number of mini canyons winding through the course.

An Award-Sweeping Debut

Few Colorado courses arrived with the kind of national attention Four Mile Ranch received in 2008. Golf Digest, Travel + Leisure Golf, Golf.com, and Colorado Avid Golfer all recognized the course in its opening year, a rare sweep that reflects how distinctive Jim Engh's hogback-and-canyon design felt compared to conventional bunkered layouts. That reputation has held up in the years since, with Four Mile Ranch remaining one of the must-play public courses in southern Colorado.
