The ball flies farther on the golf courses of Colorado, which perhaps results in happy golfers and high ratings. The following 15 courses scored the best in 2015, according to reviews filed on Golf Advisor over the calendar year.
Courses range from metro Denver and Front Range courses to those over the Continental Divide and into the Rocky Mountains, where even higher altitude golf awaits, full of long tee shots and spectacular mountain backdrops.
These courses were compiled using a combination of a course's overall and subcategory star ratings from reviews in 2015. You can read detailed reviews and ratings information by clicking on the course page.

I would rate both Saddle Rock GC and Murphy Creek GC in Aurora [the latter hosted a US Publinx Championship some years ago] way ahead of Heritage Eagle Bend (also in Aurora) -- all are public courses. I live in Aurora and have played all 3. I also agree that Bear Dance GC is the equal of any of those listed and better than most.

Hi.
How can Bear Dance GC in Larkspur, CO not make this list?? Put a couple of the aforementioned courses to shame - IMHO.
Thanks for the list.

It's received 3/3 5-star reviews but needs more to qualify for these lists: http://www.golfadvisor.com/courses/16235-the-golf-club-at-bear-dance/
