Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is Eisenhower Golf Course, and what makes its design stand out?

Eisenhower offers two distinct experiences: the championship Blue Course is a true test with tight, tree-lined fairways and significant elevation changes, while the Silver Course is more forgiving but still demands precision. You'll find yourself navigating challenging doglegs and elevation shifts that make club selection crucial, all while battling the thin air at altitude.

When is the best time of year to play Eisenhower, considering the Colorado climate?

We recommend late spring or early fall for the most pleasant conditions, avoiding the intense summer heat and afternoon thunderstorms that often roll in. While the course is open year-round, you'll want to check for frost delays in the cooler months and be prepared for rapidly changing mountain weather.

Is Eisenhower Golf Course open to the public, and how far in advance should I book a tee time?

Yes, Eisenhower is open to the public, but tee times for the coveted Blue Course can be tough to snag, especially on weekends. We strongly advise booking at least 3-4 weeks out, and even further if you're aiming for prime morning slots, as military personnel and academy members get priority.

What can I expect to pay for a round at Eisenhower, and is it good value for the experience?

Expect green fees to be very reasonable for a course of this caliber, especially compared to private clubs in the region-public rates are higher than for military, but still a steal. You're getting championship-level golf with incredible mountain views and pristine conditions, making it an outstanding value for your golf dollar.

What's the absolute must-see or unique highlight of playing Eisenhower Golf Course?

Beyond the fantastic golf, the truly unique highlight is the stunning backdrop of the Rocky Mountains and the palpable sense of history within the Air Force Academy grounds. You'll be playing a course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., feeling the thin air, and enjoying views that few other courses in the country can match.
