City Park Golf Course Marks 100 Years
City Park Golf Course has for 100 years served as the great golf melting pot for Denver, welcoming all members of the community. It is not uncommon on any day at City Park Golf Course to find a foursome teeing it off for the first time ever playing behind a group who has had a regular tee time since the 1950’s. “City Park was where I learned the game and one of those very special places where color never mattered,” said PGA Professional Tom Woodard, one of the best African-American golfers to emerge from Denver, who owns the course record of 61. “My love of the game was nurtured here and what I learned at City Park Golf Course has made all my golfing dreams come true.” The course was designed by Thomas Bendelow and was one of the first four golf courses built in the Denver Metro area. Since it opened, outside of a few holes changing length and par, the course has remained very loyal to the original design. The anniversary was celebrated with a special breakfast and commemorative tee shot on April 27 with several titans in the world of Denver golf in attendance.
