Castle Pines Golf Club in Castle Rock is a private 18-hole course designed by Jack Nicklaus in 1981, known for hosting the PGA Tour’s International tournament from 1986 to 2006. At 8,130 yards from the tips, the course features dramatic elevation changes, tree-lined fairways, and strategic bunkering, set in a mountainous landscape with stunning views of the Rocky Mountains. The club offers a luxurious clubhouse, practice facilities, and exclusive amenities, making it a premier golf destination in Colorado.

The course plays as a championship test, with long par-4s and par-5s demanding power and precision off the tee. The par-3s, like the 16th, require accurate iron play over hazards, while the back nine’s elevation changes add complexity to approach shots. Golfers must navigate the rugged terrain and wind, with the course’s length and slope rewarding strong ball-strikers. Castle Pines’ private status and prestigious history make it an elite venue for members.
