I’m looking for recommendations on par 3 golf courses in Denver. I’ve been getting into golf lately and I think focusing on par 3 courses would be a great way to improve my short game without needing to spend a whole day on the links.

Here are some things I’m specifically looking for:

  • Beginners-Friendly: Places that are welcoming for someone who’s still learning the ropes.
  • Short Playing Times: Ideally, I’d love to play a quick round that doesn’t take all afternoon.
  • Good Facilities: A place with nice practice areas, good refreshment options, or maybe even some rental clubs available for those who don’t own gear yet.

What I’ve Found So Far:

I did some initial searching and came across a couple of recommendations, but I’m curious to hear about personal experiences or hidden gems that maybe aren’t as widely talked about. There are so many options out there, and I’d love to get insights from fellow forum members!

  • Course descriptions: How are the courses laid out? Any standout holes?
  • Ranking: From your experience, which ones do you think rank higher and why?
  • Personal Recommendations: Any favorites that you regularly go back to?

If you have any thoughts or suggestions, I’d really appreciate it! Looking forward to hearing what you all think! Thanks in advance!

I recommend checking out City Park Golf Course! It has a fantastic par 3 layout and the views of downtown Denver are incredible. I’ve played there several times and always enjoy it.

Have you tried the inspiration at Washington Park? It’s a shorter course but has some great par 3s. A nice place to relax and work on your short game!

Washington Park is lovely! I love how it feels secluded, yet you’re in the heart of the city. Definitely a must-try!

For an enjoyable experience, check out the par 3 course at the Highlands. The atmosphere is lively, and the layout is surprisingly fun!

The Highlands is my go-to! Just beware of the occasional deer on the course—they’re everywhere!

I’m curious—what’s your handicap? Some of these courses can be tricky if you’re starting out. Always good to know!

Littleton has some scenic holes and it’s quite well-maintained. Perfect for a relaxing afternoon!

Hey, if you want something unique, try the par 3 at Eagle Point. It’s challenging but rewarding. It might help your game too!

Thanks for the tip! I’ll add Eagle Point to my list. Do they have any special events?

I remember playing at South Suburban; it’s a hidden gem. The par 3 is just challenging enough without being overwhelming.

Nice! South Suburban tends to be underrated. I feel like more people should play there, especially for practice rounds!

If you’re looking for great par 3 golf courses in Denver, I recommend checking out The Links at Highlands Ranch. It’s manageable yet challenging. Also, don’t forget about club selection; using the right club can change your game significantly!

Thanks for the suggestion! I often struggle with putting on shorter holes. Any tips?

When putting on par 3 holes, focus on your alignment. A consistent routine can help you read the greens better.

Definitely agree! Also, don’t underestimate the impact of wind on your shots; it can be tricky on those shorter holes.

19

Wind can often play havoc on par 3s! I’ve learned to account for wind shifts, especially on holes with water features.

Yes! And for club selection, I usually go one club longer than I think I need, particularly on days with wind. What’s your experience?
