  • GENERAL MANAGER PROFILE: COLORADO GOLF CLUB Parker, CO
    GENERAL MANAGER PROFILE: COLORADO GOLF CLUB Parker, CO GENERAL MANAGER AT COLORADO GOLF CLUB Colorado Golf Club is looking for a General Manager who will be a strong, detail oriented leader and will guide the club as it grows to membership capacity. The ideal candidate must have extensive experience with high revenue lines, food and beverage management and membership engagement. COLORADO GOLF CLUB When designers Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw went to work on the Championship Course at Colorado Golf Club, they envisioned a strategic and natural layout capable of testing golfers of the very highest ability and hosting major championships. They succeeded on all levels. Golfers of all skill levels enjoy the challenges encountered on the Championship Course, which stretches up to 7,604 yards and plays to par-72 and features multiple lines of play. In addition to the Championship Course, Coore and Crenshaw have designed a nine-hole Short Course that winds through the Ponderosa pines in the upper part of the Colorado Golf Club property. LINKS Magazine calls it one of the best in the country. The Short Course is a perfect late afternoon family getaway. The practice area at Colorado Golf Club is ranked among the best in America by Golf Digest. With dramatic views of Pikes Peak, Devils Head and Mount Evans, the sweeping, downhill range is a beautiful place to work on one’s game. The practice area features: Two 120-yard tee boxes and a hidden “private” tee Five bunkered target greens maintained to on-course specifications A 7,000-square-foot short game area with bunkers, rough, collars and closely mown chipping areas An 8,000-square-foot putting green Colorado Golf Club's dramatic old-world clubhouse opened on October 1, 2011.
