Colorado's golf landscape includes 87 named courses and country clubs documented across 77 cities and 21 counties. The complete directory draws from the USGS Geographic Names Information System, the federal gazetteer that maintains authoritative records of named places throughout the United States. Every facility listed represents a real, named golf location, organized geographically by city and county for easy reference.
Because GNIS functions as a catalog of named geographic features rather than a registry of active businesses, the directory reflects an inherent limitation: it serves as a partial and sometimes dated snapshot of Colorado's golf facilities. A newly constructed course or a recently renamed club may not yet appear in the federal database, as updates to GNIS lag behind real-world changes. Additionally, the federal gazetteer does not track operational details such as public versus private status, green fees, course layouts, or membership requirements—information essential for planning a visit.
Those seeking to research and locate courses by specific city or county should use this directory as a starting point, then verify current details directly with each facility's official website. Course operators maintain up-to-date information regarding hours of operation, rates, availability, and booking procedures.
Colorado golf by county
Directory note. Listings come from the USGS GNIS named-feature gazetteer (2021 vintage) and are partial — public/private status, green fees and course layout aren't in the federal record. Confirm details on each course’s own site.

How to use the Colorado directory
Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.
