Sitting 6,300 feet above sea level, Castle Pines offers breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains in the distance while meandering through the beautiful Colorado forests.
The course has been featured on Golf Digest’s list of America’s 100 Greatest Courses list every year since 1987.
Club founder Jack Vickers, a Midwest oilman, had urged architect Jack Nicklaus to produce a mountain-venue design worthy of a major championship. Jack did, but when a championship never resulted, Vickers established his own, The International.
The International announced that it wouldn’t be played in 2007 following a change of date on the Tour schedule and sponsorship issues.
