Landscapes Unlimited has completed its renovation of the golf course at Red Rocks Country Club in Morrison, Colo., located 25 minutes outside of Denver.
The 6,800-yard course received rebuilds of the greens, tee boxes, and bunkers, as well as enhancements to the grassing, irrigation and cart paths. The course renovation is an important part of the club’s multi-phase improvement plan.
Separate from the renovation is the addition of a new 45,000-square-foot putting green near the clubhouse to supplement the club’s short-game area. The green is unofficially called the “19th hole” and is designed to let golfers settle bets.
“Collaborating with Kevin and Red Rocks’ team to reimagine the course layout, construction and infrastructure resulted in a stout golf experience for members and guests,” said Dave Linngren, Vice President-West Region of Landscapes Unlimited. “Each hole requires strategic management but is neither designed nor constructed to unfairly bite golfers.”
Various club organizations such as the men’s and ladies’ golf associations and junior golfers are reporting high levels of satisfaction with the renovation. Other features of the club include views of the city of Denver, a private lake for fishing, heated pool, and hiking/walking trails, as well as a 24,000-square-foot clubhouse with a ballroom, outdoor pavilion, and various types of year-round dining.
