RainDance National Golf Course

Venue Overview

RainDance National Golf Club in Windsor, Colorado is the longest golf course in North America, a Fred Funk design that tips out at a staggering 8,463 yards across the high plains of the Front Range. Opened in 2022 and quickly decorated with national honors, including Golf Digest's runner-up for Best New Public Course, this semi-private resort course is built around dramatic arroyos, 250 feet of elevation change, and big mountain views, with Longs Peak framing the opening hole. With multiple tee sets that bring the course down to a friendly 4,919 yards, a massive practice complex, on-site dining, and resort amenities, RainDance National is a true destination venue for tournaments, corporate outings, and golf trips.

About the Course

RainDance National is the centerpiece of RainDance Resort, a master-planned community in Windsor, about 45 minutes north of Denver. Designed by PGA Tour Champion Fred Funk alongside veteran architect Harrison Minchew, a 26-year associate of Arnold Palmer's design company, the course is open to public play, with members enjoying advance tee-time access.

The Playing Experience

RainDance National plays unlike anything else in the region. The defining feature is a series of arroyos, deep canyons 20 to 30 feet across the property, that force a string of bold, all-carry decisions off the tee and into the greens. Length is its calling card, but with several sets of tees and roughly 10 percent more carry at 5,000 feet of elevation, it stays playable and genuinely fun for everyone, not just the pros it was built to challenge. Standouts include a par-4 that stretches past 600 yards, a par-3 that can play close to 270, and a downhill one-shotter framed by the mountains, proof that this course bends the usual scale of golf. Farming relics scattered across the property and sweeping Front Range views give every round a sense of place you will not find anywhere else.
