About The Golf Club at Bear Dance

The Golf Club at Bear Dance in Larkspur is widely regarded as one of the finest semi-private public access courses in Colorado, a Rick Phelps-designed masterpiece carved through the ponderosa pine forests of Douglas County at approximately 7,200 feet elevation. Bear Dance consistently appears on national top-100 public course rankings and is considered a bucket-list Colorado golf experience. The course features dramatic elevation changes, tight pine-framed fairways that demand precise shot-making, and an otherworldly forest setting that creates a cathedral atmosphere on every hole. Located between Denver and Colorado Springs off I-25, Bear Dance is a convenient destination for golfers from both cities despite its remote forest feel.

History

The course was carved through the ponderosa pine forests of Douglas County to create a layout that feels like a private mountain retreat while remaining accessible to the public as a daily fee facility.

Serious golfers and architecture enthusiasts seeking a national-caliber public course in a spectacular pine forest setting between Denver and Colorado Springs.
