About this course
Saddle Rock Golf Course is a public, city-owned course in Aurora, Colorado, designed by architect Richard M. Phelps and opened in 1997. The high-plains, links-style layout plays to a par of 72 and measures roughly 7,351 yards from the back markers, combining native grass areas, creek features and meaningful elevation change. It formerly hosted the Colorado Open along with various statewide amateur and professional events. Multiple sets of tees let golfers of different abilities choose an appropriate level of difficulty, and one of the area's larger practice tees supports lesson programs run out of the pro shop. The course is part of the City of Aurora's municipal golf system, alongside Aurora Hills, Meadow Hills, Murphy Creek and Springhill. A restaurant on site serves golfers, and tee times can be booked through the city's golf reservation system.

Aurora, CO · 2.0 mi away
Heritage Eagle Bend Golf Club is a public course in southeast Aurora, Colorado, near the E-470 and Gartrell Road area. It was designed by Arthur Hills and opened in 2000.

Wide, accommodating fairways are meant to keep the course approachable for a range of skill levels despite its length from the back tees. Five sets of tees stretch from just over 5,000 to about 7,100 yards, and the course is attached to a large clubhouse used for dining and events. Tee times are open to the public.
