The first at Evergreen Golf Course
I headed out to Evergreen, Colorado for a little vacationing as well as some golfing. We decided to hit the local muni, Evergreen Golf Course, which is owned by the City of Denver. We had a 1:40 p.m. tee time on a Friday and the course was packed. Despite that, they were running 10 minutes ahead of schedule and we got off almost as soon as we arrived. Unfortunately, we had to rent clubs which I would strongly advise against because the rentals were absolutely lousy. Oh well, at least you could rent a three wheeled push cart if you chose to walk. Be forewarned however as walking ain’t so easy in the mountains at altitude.
A look back at the clubhouse from the 1st green
As you can see the views that the course afforded were absolutely amazing. You just don’t get this kind of scenery in Ohio. The course in general was typical of your local muni – short, small greens and tight fairways. Despite the amount of play it received, it was in good shape. The first is a straightforward, uphill par 4 that plays about 290. The hole helps slicers with a bank along the right side of the fairway which kept many a slice well in play.
