Fossil Trace Golf Club

Golden, Colorado | 18 holes | Par: 72 | 6831 yards

Located in the city of Golden, the golf course at the Fossil Trace Golf Club rests in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The course is challenging and also quite unique not only in its demanding layout but also for its rich history. The name of the golf course actually comes from the fact that situated near the 12th hole there are trace fossils of palm fronds and triceratops footprints that are over 60 million years old. There are also relics of clay mining equipment. This public course has received acclaim from golf publications such as Golf Magazine. Jim Engh designed the Fossil Trace course, which features undulating greens and greenside bunkers.
