The History of Breckenridge Golf Club
The Town of Breckenridge opened the Bear nine in 1985. The Bear was the first nine to grace the landscape known to Breckenridge's early day miners as “Buffalo Flats”. What was once a tent city of miners seeking fortunes of gold, is now a challenging golf course with players seeking birdies.
The second nine to open, in 1987, was the Beaver. Left of holes 6, 7, and 8 and you will notice rock piles or "tailings" as the miners called them, leftover from the days of gold mining in the area. The Beaver nine takes its’ name from the beaver ponds that are scattered along holes 6, 8, and 9.
The success of the original 18 holes, prompted town officials to expand the golf course. In 2001 the Elk nine opened giving golfers’ 27 memorable holes to play. The Elk offers the most elevation change of the three nines, as well as the beautiful panoramic views of the Ten-Mile Mountain range.
