About this course

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.

Arvada, CO · 5.6 mi away

West Woods Golf Club is a public, 27-hole golf facility in Arvada, Colorado, made up of three nine-hole courses: Sleeping Indian, Cottonwood and Silo. The city of Arvada built the original Sleeping Indian and Cottonwood nines in 1994, designed by architect Richard M. Phelps, and his son Rick Phelps added the Silo nine in 1998-99. The three nines can be combined into different 18-hole routings, each with its own character, giving golfers in Arvada a choice of combinations for a round.
