The Breckenridge Golf Course is the only municipality owned, Jack Nicklaus-designed 27 hole golf course. The original course, Beaver-Bear opened in 1985 with 18 championship holes and during the 2001 summer golf season another nine holes, called the Elk, were added. The new Elk holes offered more elevation change than the original 18.
Located in a beautiful mountain valley, the clubhouse sits at an elevation of 9,324'. At this elevation there is less air resistance and the golf ball flies farther and straighter than at lower elevations. The course offers four sets of tees so that each golfer may select the challenge best suited for their game. The Beaver-Bear rotation course has the second most difficult course rating in the state which plays 7,276 yards and has a course rating of 73.3 with a slope rating of 150.
The Breckenridge Golf Course also includes a practice facility with a grass tee driving range, two practice greens for putting and chipping, and an area for practicing sand bunker shots. A full service restaurant and bar, plus an on course snack cart will satisfy your food and beverage needs.
