When you visit Colorado Springs, a day exploring Pike’s Peak and the Garden of the Gods is a must. The geologic formations and scenery have to be seen to be believed.
I’ve taken my family here and I’m always happy to send my wife and kids on a hike. Been there, done that. I head straight to the first tee at Kissing Camels Golf Club.
Part of the larger Garden of the Gods Resort, this course again offers 27 holes of outstanding golf designed by J. Press Maxwell and Mark Rathert.
All three nines are the epitome of classic mountain designs with tree-lined fairways and small greens. Keep it in play and you’ll be fine.
The amenities are first-class too. From the practice facilities to the clubhouse, no detail is overlooked. And the best part? The views are so stunning, they’ll bring tears to your eyes.
