City Park Golf Course through the years.
THOMAS BENDELOW was a typesetter by trade, the story goes, hired at the New York Herald in 1892 some time after immigrating from Scotland. However, Bendelow was also passionate about golf, which duffers in Denver have appreciated for more than 100 years.
Bendelow was the architect of City Park Golf Course, the self- proclaimed “People’s Course,” which over the last century has indeed seen everything from wholesome family fare to big-money hustles take place on its grounds.
