Perry Park Country Club

Venue Overview

Perry Park Country Club is a historic, member-owned private golf club in Larkspur, Colorado, nestled among towering pines and dramatic red-rock formations halfway between Denver and Colorado Springs. Established in 1969 and designed by noted Colorado architect Dick Phelps, its 18-hole championship course winds through the rocks and tree lines above Lake Wauconda in a setting of timeless beauty, anchored by a historic 1891 Manor House clubhouse. Recognized by Colorado AvidGolfer among the top private clubs in the Denver region, Perry Park pairs memorable golf with rich history and two on-site restaurants. And because it hosts weddings, charity tournaments, and outside outings on select dates, it is a spectacular setting for events as well as member play.

About the Course

Perry Park's championship golf course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout designed by Dick Phelps and opened in 1969, sculpted by his Audubon-conscious team to work in harmony with the land. Playing to roughly 6,925 yards, it threads through pine forest and striking red-rock formations, with Lake Wauconda and abundant wildlife adding to the character. Member-owned since 2002, it has been thoughtfully updated over the years without losing its timeless charm.

A Course With History

Perry Park's story stretches back well over 150 years. In the mid-1800s the area was an early stagecoach stop on the Denver-to-Colorado Springs route, and a cave on today's 11th tee still bears carvings dating to the 1860s. In 1870, John D. Perry, president of the Kansas Pacific Railroad, purchased the 4,000-acre "Pleasant Park" that would come to bear his name. By 1888, a dam on Bear Creek had created Lake Wauconda, and the grand Hotel Nanichant, near today's 18th tee, became a fashionable retreat for Denver's elite, who arrived by stage from the Larkspur rail depot. The club's clubhouse, the Manor House, is the original 1891 home built along the lake, its deck still overlooking the water and the red rocks. The country club was established in 1969, and its members purchased the course in 2002, ensuring its future would be guided by those who love it most.

The Playing Experience

Perry Park is, quite simply, like no other course in Colorado. Dick Phelps routed the holes through stands of ponderosa pine and towering red-rock formations, so nearly every shot is framed by dramatic scenery, and the course rewards thoughtful, well-placed golf. It is forgiving in spots, but you will want to know where to miss, and its par 3s are a genuine highlight, offering a variety of distances and some of the best views on the property. Lake Wauconda comes into play, wildlife is a constant companion, and the pace of play is among the best around, with 18 holes easily enjoyed in a relaxed afternoon. Timeless, scenic, and full of character, it is a course members and guests return to again and again.
