Fossil Trace Golf Club in Golden Colorado is the latest achievement in Jim Engh designed championship golf courses. Nestled adjacent to the foothills of the Rocky Mountain Front Range, you will enjoy a golf experience that is truly one of a kind. From the simplicity of a 100 yard par 3 to the cruelty of a 659 yard par 5, Fossil Trace offers every level of player a unique and yet satisfying challenge. Length of the hole is not your only concern as the undulation of the greens combined with the treachery of the 10 foot deep fairway and greenside bunkers will test even the most accomplished player. Twenty-foot tall pillars of sandstone emerge from # 12 fairway, demanding that each player be respectful of the 64 million year old trace fossils of palm fronds and triceratops footprints located adjacent to #12 green. Several massive relics of clay mining equipment remain throughout the course as a reminder of the rich history of the property.

I've played Fossil Trace several times over the last couple of years and I have always enjoyed it. The course conditions and the staff have always been top notch.
There are several Colorado courses that cost over twice as much as Fossil Trace but can not deliver the same great golf experience as Fossil Trace can.
I've hosted over a dozen out of state golfers and I always take them to Fossil Trace. Each one has walked away amazed and happy that we played there.
Fossill provides a wonderful overall golfing experience. From the wonder views to the great grill. The coarse is well maintanined from tee box to greens.
Really interesting course with diverse holes from the old stone chimney on the first hole to the unique rock structures on the 12th hole...it's just a really fun course.
