Westminster Unveils New Golf
Course...
The Heritage at
Westmoor
Building
a public golf course to standards
commonly seen at private clubs is
a reputation Westminster earned
when Legacy Ridge Golf Course
opened in 1994. Recently another
championship golf course opened
in the City, The Heritage at
Westmoor.
Located
at 10555 Westmoor Drive (west of
Wadsworth Boulevard and north of
108th Avenue), near Jefferson
County Airport, The Heritage at
Westmoor will hold a grand
opening celebration on September
9, 5-7:30 p.m. The public is
invited for refreshments, prizes,
entertainment and free driving
range use. Opening weekend
(September 10-12) tee-times can
be reserved at the public event.
Phone reservations will be
accepted beginning on September
10 at 303-469-2974.
The
Heritage at Westmoor, an 18-hole
public course, was built on 205
acres and offers: five levels of
tees ranging from 7,400 yards
(back tees) and 5,187 yards
(front tees), a
13,000-square-foot clubhouse with
a full-service restaurant, a
13-acre grass driving range, 96
sand traps, rental carts, rental
clubs, continuous cart path and
practice putting/chipping greens
with bunkers.
The
course is open all year long. The
$9.5 million course was designed
by Michael Hurdzan from
Hurdzan-Fry Architects of
Columbus, Ohio. Hurdzan was named
1997 Golf Course Architect of the
year by Golf World
Magazine.
Jefferson
County residents are eligible for
resident rates because the JEFFCO
Open Space gave the City a $3.3
million no-interest loan to help
build the new golf course. JEFFCO
also helped negotiate a 120-acre
lease with the JEFFCO Airport to
build the back nine holes of the
course.
The
85 acres of land for the
challenging front nine was
donated by Westfield Development
Company. Westfield developed the
recently-completed Westmoor
Office Park near The
Heritage.
The
course also was developed with
the environment in mind.
Chemicals are being stored and
used safely, wetlands are
protected, and the facility is
wisely using drainage and
watering practices qualifying The
Heritage for certification from
the Audobon Signature Program for
environmentally friendly golf
courses.
Last
fall, construction crews
discovered bones from a
triceratops, a dinosaur that
resembles a rhinoceros. It's
believed that triceratops roamed
this area approximately 63
million years ago. This discovery
led to the adoption of the
triceratops logo for the golf
course.
