Saddleback Golf Club

Venue Overview

Saddleback Golf Club is a public, 18-hole golf course in Firestone, Colorado, designed by Vail-based Colorado architect Andy Johnson and opened in 2001. A links-style layout playing to a par of 72 across 7,041 yards, Saddleback features large, undulating greens and open, rolling fairways, and has earned recognition from Golf Digest as one of the "Top 7 Most Friendly" courses in the country. The club pairs its course with a Trackman-powered indoor Performance Studio, giving golfers a way to work on their game year-round regardless of Colorado weather.

About the Course

Andy Johnson's links-style design at Saddleback emphasizes open, rolling fairways and large, undulating greens that reward strategic shot placement over brute strength, giving golfers of every skill level a fair but genuinely testing round. Playing to 7,041 yards from the longest tees, the course has built a reputation for friendliness and playability that helped it earn a spot on Golf Digest's list of the "Top 7 Most Friendly" courses in the country — a distinction the club highlights as central to its identity.
