Bear Creek Golf Club

Hilly walking in Colorado altitude hits different. The air is thinner, the grades feel steeper, and the views between shots don't exist at sea level. At 7,611 yards over 18 holes, the walk rewards the fit and punishes everyone else. The slope of 146 backs that up. Four par-5s spread across the layout mean long slogs between greens and tees. Hole 4 is the number one handicap, a par-4 that earns its reputation early. It's open to the public. Pace of play ratings run high here. On a walking round, that matters.
