Experience Championship Golf: Castle Pines Awaits
Nestled in the scenic foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Castle Pines Golf Club in Castle Rock, Colorado, offers a golfing experience that is both challenging and visually stunning. Designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1981, this private course stretches over 8,000 yards from the championship tees, making it one of the longest courses to host a PGA TOUR event.
From 1986 to 2006, Castle Pines was home to The International, a unique PGA TOUR event featuring the Stableford scoring system, which encouraged aggressive play and rewarded risk-takers. In 2024, the course made a triumphant return to the PGA TOUR as the host of the BMW Championship, the penultimate event of the FedExCup Playoffs. Golf Plus VR Blog
One of the standout holes is the par-3 11th, where golfers tee off from an elevated position, offering breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains. The shot plunges over 60 feet downhill to a green guarded by a creek and bunkers, demanding precision and strategic club selection. Golf Plus VR Blog
