Fossil Trace Golf Club

Golden, CO — Fossil Trace Golf Club, a Jim Engh signature design, offers a unique and artistic golf experience in Golden, Colorado. Engh's philosophy of creating fun, creative, and adventurous courses is evident in the lush, rolling fairways and undulating greens, reminiscent of classic Irish links. The course's most distinctive feature is its historical significance, with holes 11-15 situated on land where dinosaurs roamed 64 million years ago. Triceratops footprints and other prehistoric fossils are visible adjacent to the 12th green, making this par-5 a truly memorable signature hole. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Rocky Mountain Front Range, with the shadows of the foothills and majestic Table Mountain guiding play, Fossil Trace provides a mountain course feel within an urban setting. Consistently ranked among Denver's best, it's a must-play for its unparalleled conditions, gorgeous views, and character-laden layout.
