The Golden course is ready for summer
Applewood Golf Course in Golden is dotted with ponds and lakes and offers tree-lined fairways with some well-placed bunkers and trees guarding most greens.

What to Expect:
Applewood is a Press Maxwell-designed course that has been pesticide-free since 1988 because of its proximity to the Coors Brewing Company’s aquifer. At 6,188 yards from the back tees Applewood is a perfect family course or one for a group of friends out for a relaxed round. Beautiful views of mesas are always on the horizon.
Signature hole:
No. 18 is a 375-yard par 4 with out of bounds on the left and high native grasses on the right. A small pond guards the entrance to the green with a creek running across the fairway to it.
By the Numbers:
Applewood Golf Course, 14001 W. 32nd Ave Golden, CO 80401
Yardage: from 5,184 to 6,188
