Designed by master golf course architect, Donald Ross, the original BROADMOOR Golf Club opened with the hotel in 1918. In 1958, Robert Trent Jones Sr. was hired to design an additional nine hole course. The redesign formed the famed East Course. In 1964 an additional nine holes was added by Jones forming the West Course. In 2005, the Mountain Course re-opened, renovated and reconfigured by Nicklaus Design.

General Review
Pros: - firm fairways
- views, backdrops
- tee shots, makes you work the ball to be in good position for the next shot
- fair from all teeing grounds, the course plays much wider and easier from the forward two tees.
Cons: unrealistic distances, be sure you hit the range hard before playing here, I cant remember the last time I hit a 3 wood 300 yards. Know your distances on approaches as the Ross, Jones greens are unforgiving to wayward shots.
Overall Thoughts: I played all three courses during my ten days at the Broadmoor, but had to tee it up three times on the East Course, which is far and away the best "test" Colorado has to offer. The West and Mountain courses are both extremely breathtaking with mountain and lake backdrops, elevated tees and extreme pitches around every corner. The broadmoor is a must do for every golf enthusiast. For those with girlfriends/wives that don't play the spa and shops are one of a kind and within the village/clubhouse. I would also highly recommended the French onion soup, absolutely the best I've ever tasted.
What do you usually shoot for 18 holes?: Under 80
