Venue Overview

Perched along the Palmer Divide between Denver and Colorado Springs, King’s Deer Golf Club is an 18-hole championship, links-style course known for rolling fairways, dramatic elevation change, and sweeping views of Pikes Peak and the southern Front Range. Opened in 1999, King’s Deer has earned a reputation over more than two decades for well-maintained conditions, a quiet, upscale atmosphere, and some of the best sightlines of any public course in the Monument-Colorado Springs corridor. The course anchors the King’s Deer master-planned community, giving it a peaceful, residential backdrop distinct from busier Front Range munis.

Practice Facilities

King’s Deer’s driving range sits atop the Palmer Divide, pairing a proper warm-up with sweeping views of the Front Range that match the course itself, and an extensive practice green helps golfers dial in short-game distances and read greens before their round. The elevated setting means golfers can see much of the course layout from the range, making it easy to get a feel for the day’s wind and conditions before teeing off. The high-altitude location also means golf balls travel noticeably farther than at sea level, something the practice facility helps golfers dial in before their round begins.

Lessons & Instruction

• Jeff Kelly, PGA: General Manager, overseeing golf operations, instruction, and the club’s day-to-day experience
• Jake Mally: Head Golf Professional, leading the on-course teaching program and pro shop operations

Both members of the King’s Deer leadership team bring PGA-level expertise to the club’s instructional offerings, giving golfers of all skill levels access to structured lessons and swing guidance alongside the club’s tee-time and outing services. The pro shop staff also assists with club recommendations suited to the course’s altitude and links-style demands.

Dining and Amenities

The clubhouse is home to the Troon Tavern, a full-service restaurant known for hearty fare like breakfast burritos and bison brats alongside a broader menu of pub favorites. Indoor and outdoor seating overlook the golf course and the southern Front Range, with views stretching to Pikes Peak, making the Tavern a popular stop for golfers and non-golfers alike. Beyond daily dining, the Tavern regularly hosts private celebrations, bridal and baby showers, anniversaries, birthdays, retirements, and weddings, with menus scaled to fit a range of budgets.

Tournaments & Events

King’s Deer hosts a full calendar of private group outings and tournaments each year, including four-person scramble formats with men playing from the Blue tees and women from the White tees. The course is also a regular rotation stop for the Pikes Peak Women Golfers, a Tuesday women’s league that plays courses across the Front Range. The club’s banquet and outing team works with corporate groups, charities, and social organizations to build custom tournament formats around the course’s links-style layout, and the Troon Tavern’s banquet space allows outings to pair a round of golf with a full sit-down reception on site.
