Columbine
Country Club (CCC) is a private Country Club with initiation fee of $60,000. There is
currently a wait list for golf memberships. The golf course is a traditional, eastern or
midwestern U. S. style course at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Located in the South
Platte River bottom, CCC is rich with mature trees, thick-grassed fairways and rough
(bluegrass) and dependably true greens (bentgrass). The course is generally flat, but it
requires golfers to use almost all their skills--there are few up/down or sidehill
lies--and all the clubs in their bags. In a state with multiple top-50 courses, the USGA
has chosen CCC as its regional qualifying site for many years. It was the site of the 1967
PGA Championship Tournament.
