Resorts in Denver

Resorts in Denver
Denver, Colorado is not called the Mile High City for nothing, so be prepared for the special conditions of playing golf at this altitude. Denver's altitude not only means getting your body used to the difference, it also means changes in your game. Consult the link found in the Resource section for advice from PGA professional Greg Enholm on playing golf in high altitude. It is also a good idea to acclimate yourself to the change in oxygen levels for a day or two at Denver area resorts before engaging in recreational activities.

Omni Interlocken Resort

The Omni Interlocken, located in Broomfield, a northwest suburb of Denver, features three regulation nine-hole courses. Settle in the resort for a day before attacking this course, which challenges with 400 feet in elevation changes and a major distraction in the form of the Rocky Mountain scenery. Practice facilities include a driving range as well as putting and chipping greens. All rooms include a refreshment bar, choice of foam or feather pillows and the LodgeNet system that includes pay-per-view movies and games. Other features include a full service spa, fitness center, nearby hiking and skiing trails and two heated outdoor pools. Families should look into the Omni Sensational Kids program that provides a host of services for younger members of your group. Dining options include casual Meritage restaurant, the Fairways grill at the golf course clubhouse and the Tap Room and Terrace Restaurant and Bar.

Dive into the fourth floor pool at the Westin Tabor or just sink into the nearby jacuzzi tub as you enjoy the view of the Rocky Mountains.

Accommodations range from traditional rooms to luxury suites that add decor like French doors to amenities like a second bath and parlor area.
