Mountain Course Reopens In July 2006

As summer draws ever closer, The BROADMOOR's Director of Golf Course Maintenance, Fred Dickman, offers this update on the much anticipated opening of the Mountain Course, scheduled for play in July of 2006.

This winter, our golf course maintenance staff has been busy with numerous projects including tree trimming, topdressing fairways and winter watering, all in preparation for a July 1 opening of the much-anticipated Mountain Course. With 95% of the course grassed in and most of the golf course construction complete, if you take a good look at the new Nicklaus Design Mountain course now, it almost looks playable.

While the course is nearly ready, there is still a lot to do before opening day. The spring months ahead will be important for allowing the grasses to mature as much as possible. Other things to accomplish include adding sand to the bunkers, finishing cart paths, installing course signage, training the maintenance staff and a lot of fine tuning to make this an absolutely outstanding Broadmoor golf experience.

The Mountain Course is going to be a tremendous compliment to the historic Broadmoor East and West courses. But the best thing about it will be its totally unique quality and design. It's a challenging test of golf from the back tees, but also very player-friendly from the forward and middle tees. It's a course that everyone will enjoy playing, and one whose scenic beauty is virtually unparalleled. We look forward to having you play the Mountain Course as we write a new chapter in the book of The Broadmoor's illustrious golf history.
