Quail Dunes Golf Course at Fort Morgan

Venue Overview

Quail Dunes Golf Course at Fort Morgan is an 18-hole, par-72 municipal course set along the South Platte River in northeastern Colorado, where more than 300 days of sunshine a year make it a nearly year-round golf destination. Built on 165 acres with 57 acres of native rough and wetland habitat, Quail Dunes has been designated an Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary since 1994, giving golfers a round that doubles as a walk through eagle, hawk, deer, quail, pheasant, and coyote habitat along the way.

About the Course

• The original front nine was designed by architect Henry Hughes and opened in the early 1920s, making it one of the older golf layouts on Colorado's Eastern Plains
• A second nine, designed by Frank Hummel, was added in the late 1960s along with the driving range
• 18 holes playing to a par of 72, with yardage ranging from 5,300 to 6,600 across four tee boxes
• Designated an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary in 1994 in recognition of its wildlife habitat and conservation practices
• Operated by the City of Fort Morgan's Golf Course division, which also runs a dedicated Junior Golf Academy program
• Terrain varies from tree-lined fairways to rolling hills, with scenic views throughout the round
• The maintenance department grooms the course at four different mowing heights and manages a winter activity program on the grounds when snow closes the course to golf

Practice Facilities

Golfers have access to a large practice green for putting and chipping, a full driving range for long-game work, and a bunker for sand-play practice. Annual range passes are available for individuals, families, and juniors, giving regulars an affordable way to keep their swing sharp between rounds. The Pro Shop, with more than 1,200 square feet of retail space, can outfit golfers with clubs, balls, shoes, and apparel from brands including Titleist, Callaway, TaylorMade, Ping, Cobra, and Cleveland, plus rental clubs for visitors, headwear from New Era and Imperial, and eyewear from Oakley.

Lessons & Instruction

• Adam Blake — Head Golf Professional, overseeing instruction and golf operations for the City of Fort Morgan

The Pro Shop coordinates instruction alongside its equipment and apparel services, and junior golfers under age 16 can borrow clubs free of charge thanks to a standing donation from the Morgan County Junior Golf Association, removing a common barrier to getting kids started in the game.

Dining and Amenities

The Grill on the Hill, located in the same building as the Pro Shop, serves lunch to golfers and outside guests alike, with a menu spanning burgers and fries to freshly made salads, wraps, and baked cookies. The Grill also caters tournament banquets to fit a group's budget and taste, and during the season it's open daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with brats and hot dogs available on request whenever the course is open for play. Winter service continues on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays whenever the temperature climbs above 40 degrees.

Tournaments & Events

Quail Dunes hosts tournaments and outings throughout its long golf season, supported by banquet-capable catering from The Grill on the Hill and a Pro Shop team experienced in coordinating group play. The course's Stay & Play partnerships give traveling groups an easy way to pair a round with lodging in Fort Morgan, and its Audubon Sanctuary setting along the South Platte River gives outings a scenic backdrop uncommon among Eastern Plains courses.
