Breckenridge Golf Club

Breckenridge Golf Club holds a distinction no other municipal golf facility in the world can claim: the Town of Breckenridge is the only municipality on the planet to own a 27-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course. The three nines, the Bear, the Beaver, and the Elk, were built in stages: the Bear opened first in 1985, the Beaver followed in 1987, and the Elk was added in 2001 to round out the 27-hole complex. All three nines are Nicklaus Signature-level designs that route across dramatic Colorado Rockies terrain at 9,300 feet elevation. The Elk offers the most elevation change of the three nines, with panoramic Ten-Mile Mountain Range views from multiple tees. At that altitude, thin air adds roughly 12-15% to tee-shot distance, a strategic gift for groups accustomed to sea-level play. Peak green fee runs $120-185 for non-residents in summer peak. Fits a Vail or Breckenridge trip as the muni-owned Nicklaus-designed championship card.
