Venue Overview

The Olde Course at Loveland is a classic parkland-style municipal course in Loveland, framed by mature trees, six ponds, and a dramatic island green on the 14th hole. One of three courses in the City of Loveland's golf system, it pairs a traditional, tree-lined layout with a newly renovated clubhouse and patio, making it a favorite for golfers who want a genuine test paired with post-round relaxation.

About the Course

The course traces its roots to 1955, when a committee of local golfers pitched the idea of a municipal golf course to Loveland's City Council. The dream became reality thanks to a gift from John and Alyce Donahue, who donated 100 acres of land for the project. Denver-based architect Henry Hughes was selected to design the layout, and the first nine holes opened in 1960, with the back nine completed over the following decade to form the full 18-hole course golfers play today.

• 18-hole parkland-style course; par 72, 6,782 yards, rated 71.6/133
• Designed by Denver architect Henry Hughes; opened in phases from 1960 through the following decade
• Built on 100 acres donated by John and Alyce Donahue after a 1955 City Council proposal
