Silver Spruce GC

Peterson AFB, Silver Spruce GC yesterday. It was the first day of the season the Superintendent Scott Anderson and his staff to mow greens. The course played great and I had a nice round. Lots of space to hit and a great course to start the season on.

Each fairway is lined with beautiful Ponderosa Pines. They are limbed up nicely so you can advance the ball. The course is still coming out of dormancy but the greens played great. Overall it was a good day. A real nice design. The back nine returns to the clubhouse three times. It makes it nice for beginners or anyone just looking to play 3,6 or 9.

The front plays closer to the air strip. At times it can make I-70 sound like a country road, but what a unique experience to say the least.

Pictured here, I am teeing of #14 with the control tower and a snow covered Pikes Peak in the background. Cool shot! Jeanne, how is that finish?
