Golden, CO

Fossil Trace Golf Club, a Jim Engh design in Golden, Colorado, offers a unique golf experience. Engh's design philosophy is evident in the rolling fairways and undulating greens. Holes 11-15 are on land where dinosaurs roamed 64 million years ago. Triceratops footprints and other fossils are visible near the 12th green, a par-5. The course provides a mountain course feel within an urban setting, set against the Rocky Mountain Front Range and Table Mountain.

Castle Rock, CO

Red Hawk Ridge Golf Course opened in 1999 in Castle Rock, designed by Jim Engh across a dramatically rolling site south of Denver. The par-72 course stretches to nearly 6,942 yards from the back tees, with steep elevation changes, bluegrass fairways and native rough that give it a rugged, high-desert character. Views extend across the surrounding foothills, and the terrain regularly brings local wildlife into play alongside golfers. It operates as a municipal public course.

Greensboro, GA

Creek Club is a private course within the Reynolds Lake Oconee community in Greensboro, designed by Jim Engh and opened in 2007. Richland Creek comes into play on fourteen of the eighteen holes, and Engh's characteristic mounding and bunkering give the layout a sculpted look across the property's rolling terrain. The par-72 course plays to a maximum of 7,079 yards and is reserved for members and their guests. It is one of several courses that make up the Reynolds golf portfolio around Lake Oconee.

Stanwood, MI

Tullymore Golf Course is part of Tullymore Golf Resort near Stanwood, Michigan, roughly 30 miles west of Mount Pleasant and an hour north of Grand Rapids. The par-72 course opened in 2002 and was designed by architect Jim Engh, winding through more than 800 acres of woods, meadows, and wetlands left behind by glacial activity. The layout is known for Engh's signature bunkering and bowl-shaped greens, and it includes five par-3 and five par-5 holes for varied shot-making. The resort also operates a sister course, St. Ives, a few miles away, along with lodging, dining, and practice facilities. Tullymore is a public resort course, with tee times bookable by the public and package rates available for overnight guests.

Axtell, NE

Awarii Dunes Golf Course, now operating as Nebraska Dunes Golf Course in Axtell, is an 18-hole, par-72 layout stretching to roughly 7,000 yards. Designed by architect Jim Engh and opened in 2011, the semi-private course sits just south of Kearney and was built into the natural sandhills terrain rather than reshaped land. Its routing uses native dunes, native grasses, and rolling elevation changes typical of Nebraska's Sandhills golf region. The course recently changed ownership and rebranded from its original Awarii Dunes name.

Bismarck, ND

Hawktree Golf Club sits along Burnt Creek just north of Bismarck, North Dakota. Designed by architect Jim Engh and opened in 2000, the 18-hole course uses an open, links-style routing across roughly 80 acres of irrigated turf framed by native prairie grasses and hills. Burnt Creek comes into play on eight holes, with three additional lakes worked into the design; bunkers are notably filled with black coal slag rather than traditional white sand, a distinctive touch by Engh suited to the region's winds. The course plays to a par of 72 and stretches to about 7,085 yards from the back tees. Hawktree is a public course that has hosted state and regional amateur events and offers a pro shop and practice facilities.

Windsor, CO

Pelican Lakes Golf Club is a semi-private facility in Windsor, Colorado, built around more than 300 surface acres of water fed by the Cache la Poudre River. Four man-made lakes line the perimeter of the property and come into play on multiple holes. The main Pelican Lakes course was designed by Ted Robinson Sr. and opened in 1999, playing to a par of 72 over roughly 7,264 yards from the back tees. The facility also includes a second course, Pelican Falls, giving the club multiple layouts to play. The course sits within a residential development, though no homes border the golf course directly, and the facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse.
