ABOUT COLUMBINE COUNTRY CLUB
Littleton, CO | Nestled in the tranquil South Platte River Valley near Littleton, Colorado, Columbine Country Club is a private, member-owned club steeped in tradition, excellence, and community spirit. Since its founding in 1955, Columbine has embodied a vision of a serene, family-friendly haven where members enjoy world-class golf and recreation in a breathtaking natural setting.
Our storied past includes hosting the 1967 PGA Championship, where Don January triumphed over legends like Gary Player, Arnold Palmer, and Jack Nicklaus. Columbine has also been the site of multiple LPGA tournaments and USGA qualifiers, solidifying its place in golf history. The resilience of our community shone brightly in the wake of the devastating 1965 South Platte River flood, which inspired rapid restoration efforts that revitalized the course and its surroundings.
