The
Golf Club at Bear Dance opens new
15,000 square foot
clubhouse.
|
Now opening for a second season, The Golf
Club at Bear Dance has undergone
significant changes during the winter that
will provide premier services and
accommodations for all players and
visitors to the scenic property located in
Larkspur.
Of the most
notable of the improvements is the opening
of the new 15,000 square foot clubhouse.
The refined interior is reminiscent of a
traditional English manor with deep rich
colors and wood paneling. Newly voted as
the "Best of Best" golf shop by the
Douglas County Community Newspapers,
offered are the finest gentleman's and
ladies apparel, the hottest new golf
equipment and a selection of the finest
gifts and accessories you will be hard
pressed to find elsewhere.
You will find
every creature comfort of home in this
state-of-the-art building with
professional service typically offered
only by private facilities. A full service
restaurant will serve breakfast, lunch and
dinner, and a cozy tavern will pour the
finest spirits and wine.
Course
improvements were made in the Fall of
2002. Hole number three, a par-4, saw the
right side of the large green raised
slightly to offer more opportune pin
placements. The par-5, fifth hole, was
lengthened 65 yards by moving the green
toward the south and adding green side
bunkers. The par-4, ninth green was
mellowed on the front and right sides to
offer more favorable hole positions for
players of all levels.
In keeping with
the latest in technology, Bear Dance, a
riding only facility, now offers a GPS
system in every golf car to ensure players
have the correct distance to the hole,
regardless of your lie.
The Golf Club at
Bear Dance also welcomed their new
residents, the 750 members and apprentices
of the Colorado Section of the PGA of
America. The administrative offices of the
membership and foundation moved into the
2,700 square foot second floor of the
clubhouse in April. Adding to the
traditional ambience of the clubhouse, a
Historical Center dedicated to the history
of professional golf in Colorado has been
completed. Visitors to the clubhouse are
welcome to share in the fascinating
highlights of decades past and present.
For the ideal
golf odyssey just follow the bear tracks
to The Golf Club at Bear Dance. Opened in
April of 2002, this jewel of Colorado is
cut from the same vein as Castle Pines. It
meanders through dense stands of ponderosa
pines that lead to scenic meadows
providing breathtaking panoramic views of
Pike's Peak, Larkspur Butte and Raspberry
Butte. Even though Bear Dance measures
longer than any PGA TOUR course at 7,726
yards, it offers multiple tee options to
accommodate all levels of play. The
professional staff welcomes the
opportunity to demonstrate their
commitment in providing you and your
guests with the complete "Bear Dance"
experience.
Following its
first season in 2002, the Golf Club at
Bear Dance has been nominated in Golf
Digest's Best New Public Courses in
America, received honorable mention in
Golf Magazine's Top 10 new public courses
you can play, and locally, won Colorado
Avid Golfer Magazine's readers choice
award for "best new course" and "best
course for $50-$99".
