Saturday’s Golf Course ~ Lone Tree Country Club

Posted by kristal on March 1st, 2008

The Denver Metro is home to over 100 golf courses. Many of these courses, both private and public are lined with personal residences. Since golf lovers are always looking for a home on the golf course, I thought I would start showcasing the various Centennial golf courses and the real estate surrounding them.

(about the photo: taken on February 29, 2008, yes the pond is covered with ice. Yes it was 60 degrees and yes, this is Colorado! Gotta love that weather!)

Lone Tree Country Club ~ Lone Tree, Colorado

Located in Douglas County just south of downtown Denver and the Denver is the lovely City of Lone Tree and the public golf course of the same name. As part of the South Suburban Parks and Recreation system this 18 hole, Arnold Palmer designed par 72 championship course boasts spectacular views of Denver and the Front Range.

Surrounding the course are several different neighborhoods diverse style and price. Carriage Club, Heritage Estates, Muirfield, Fairways, Cypress Green, Denver Tech Center Ridge and Terra Ridge all have homes adjacent to the Lone Tree fairways. Home prices range from the high $300,000’s for a townhome to a multi-million dollar custom home high on the hill in Heritage Estates.

The Lone Tree Community

Lone Tree was established in 1995 with a City Council led by a Mayor. The population of 10,264 grew at a 5.8% rate in 2006. The City encompasses about 9.54 sq. miles, but only 4.3 is currently developed.

The community is positioned well for growth and has a strong tax base that includes the Park Meadows Mall. Lincoln Station is the current “end of the line” for the Southeast Light Rail. Expansion is planned to extend the rail further south to Sky Ridge Medical Center.

Overall Lone Tree enjoys all the popular conveniences of life, a lovely golf course, a huge recreation center, recreation trails, tennis courts, public swimming pool and well maintained neighborhoods. The schools are part of the highly respected Douglas County system, a favored destination for families with children.
