In 1998 Saddle Rock Golf Course was recognized as one of the America’s Top 10 Best New Courses by Golf
Digest. Ten years later this top notch Aurora public course continues to live up to it’s reputation. Saddle Rock Golf Course is a long, high-plains, links-style course and challenging. Even the best players find a challenge in negotiating native areas, creeks, trees and rolling diversity. The course is high and the panoramic views of the front range are among the best in metro Denver.
Saddle Rock Golf Course is a public course so the fees are quite reasonable. Players can enjoy either 9 or 18 holes of play. A cart is recommended (by me) this is a long and tough course to walk.
Residents are eligible to receive a special reservation card allowing them to book tee times seven days in advance. As with most community golf courses, residents also get discounted play.
Saddle Rock Golf Course is conveniently located at 21324 E. Briarwood Drive, Aurora, CO. 80016. To get there from I-25, take Arapahoe Road east, look for the entrance to the golf course on the left after crossing Liverpool.
Saddle Rock Real Estate
Homeowners desiring a nice place to call home, will be happy to know Saddle Rock is a planned community offering open space of parks, green belts and recreation trails. There are neighborhood “pocket parks” for the little ones to enjoy, or a great destination for walking the dog.
The Saddle Rock area offers a variety of housing options for those who desire to be in a golf community. Custom and semi-custom homes can be purchased along or near the golf course. The Community is fairly new, so resale homes built in the year 1998 and newer are also available. Custom homes start in the high $600k’s and semi custom can be found in the $500k’s.
It is also possible to find less expensive homes within a few blocks of the golf course. Multi-family (condos) are also available in the area.

Always enjoy your photos and makes me realise how green we are here in New Orleans. But we will get hot and everything is flat.
Hi Eric ~ Funny you should say mention the “green” or lack thereof. When people come here from other parts of the country, that question usually comes up, “Does it ever get green here?”
Yes, actually it does. Of course there are different degrees of green. I suspect New Orleans is closer to a real green than Denver ever is.
We will get green, but when it gets hot, we go to brown.
Thanks for stopping by!
Golf has become very popular and as a result many world-class golf courses have come up in the country.
