Tee times are booked through the weekend. The course started with only three holes when it opened in 1918.

It was owned by the military until it became a public concern in 1998.

A development project is planned for the site where the golf course currently sits. A representative with the Fitzsimons Redevelopment Authority said the new development will include a mix of medical and support facilities and some housing.
