Copper Creek Golf Club

A mix of links and mountain style holes designed by the venerable Pete and Perry Dye, Copper Creek accommodates the novice golfer from the forward tees while still providing a great test for the accomplished golfer.  Spellbinding views of the 10 Mile Range provide the perfect backdrop for any golf outing and Copper Creek's outstanding service is sure to impress.  Copper Creek was awarded 3.5 stars (out of 5) from Golf Digest in its 2000 - 2001 places to play guide. 

The front nine winds through natural alpine terrain, towering pines, numerous lakes and streams, all leading to rolling emerald greens that demand your best concentration.  The back nine changes in character as the fairways cut through the forest and the scant remains of a 19th century mining town. Pete and Perry Dye's incorporation of the natural alpine terrain, unique use of railroad tie bulkheads and elaborate mound systems present you with thought-provoking challenges and scenic pleasures.  Phone: 970-968-3333, Fax: 970-968-3152, Fee Range: $55-$89, Dress Code: No tank tops or cut-offs.  Season: Jun 1 to Sept 30.

The Town of Breckenridge can boast that it is the only municipality in the world to own a Jack Nicklaus designed, 27-hole golf course. The course opened for play in 1985. Breckenridge has three championship nines, the BEAR the BEAVER and the ELK. All three nines are Jack Nicklaus signature courses. Playing at 9300+ feet in elevation, each nine offers a mountain golf experience. Panoramic views of the snowcapped Colorado Rockies can be seen on every hole. Dense wooded areas give way to open native grassland and wetland areas. It is not uncommon to spot wildlife during your round. Seeing the beaver, deer and elk, an occasional moose and bear, abundant red fox and red tail hawks, you realize golf at Breckenridge is more than just golf.The course has four sets of tees so that each golfer may select the challenge equal to their game. From the Nicklaus Tees on the Elk / Beaver rotation, the course plays 7,145 yards and has a course rating of 73.5 with a slope rating of 151. This set of tees has the second most difficult course rating in the state. A challenge for even the best golfer. Each set of tees plays to a par 72.  High Season is June 14, 2008 through September 14, 2008
There is a one week shoulder season betwen June 7 and 13, where the rates will be greater than Low Season but less than High Season. 970-453-9104

Frisco Disc Golf

Play golf in Frisco? As many of you know Frisco does not have a golf course but it does have a beautifully constructed Peak One Disc Golf Course. Played much like golf, discs are thrown and whoever is furthers goes again first. Your par is based on the amount of times you throw the disc. Instead of a hole in the ground like regular golf, there are baskets or objects you must tag. Disc rentals are available at various retailers in town. Located on the Frisco Peninsula next to the soccer and softball fields.

Indoor Practice Golf Facility

Get on top of your golf swing with the indoor golf facility in the Dillon Mall. This area includes a practice hitting net, video analysis which shows ball speed, club speed, swing path (degrees in to out, square, out to in), club face angle, impact on club face, spin, swing tempo, and visual driving range. You are welcome to bring your own clubs to practice or use the clubs provided. This is an excellent tool to improving your golf game. Beginner lessons are available by appointment. For more information call (970) 468-0153.
