Fossil Trace Golf Club

Rated 4.7 and a popular round among Hole19 golfers in Colorado, Fossil Trace Golf Club draws consistent praise from the community. The 18-hole municipal course in Golden, Colorado was designed by Jim Engh and opened in 2003 with a links-style layout across rolling topography, large undulating fairways and greens, and fairway and greenside bunkers. Views of the foothills and Table Mountain frame the round. At the 12th green, triceratops footprints and prehistoric trace fossils are visible alongside the hole — a detail unique to this property. Practice options include a 300-yard driving range with 20 turf grass hitting stations and targets from 75 to 250 yards, a putting green, a short game area, and golf lessons covering camps and private instruction for all abilities and ages. The clubhouse includes Footprints at Fossil Trace, a full-service restaurant and bar with grab-and-go items, on-course beverage carts, and a focus on house-made food and seasonal produce. A golf shop is available for equipment and ball purchases. An exhibit in the clubhouse details the history of the property and its dinosaur tracks.
