Frequently Asked Questions

What makes playing Kissing Camels so unique compared to other Colorado courses?

It's all about those jaw-dropping views. You're literally playing golf surrounded by the iconic red rock formations of Garden of the Gods, with Pikes Peak looming in the background - it's a visual feast on every hole. We found ourselves pausing just to take it all in, which isn't something you do on every course.

How can I get a tee time at Kissing Camels if I'm not a member?

Your best bet is to book a stay at the Garden of the Gods Resort and Club; resort guests typically have access to tee times. We highly recommend calling the pro shop directly when you book your accommodation to secure your preferred slot, as it can fill up quickly, especially during peak season.

What kind of challenge should I expect from the Kissing Camels course?

Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed a course that demands precision and strategic thinking, not just brute force. You'll encounter elevation changes, well-placed bunkers, and greens that really test your short game, so bring your A-game and be ready to think your way around. Don't let the stunning scenery distract you too much from the task at hand!

When is the best time of year to play Kissing Camels for ideal conditions?

We've found late spring (May-June) and early fall (September-October) offer the most consistently pleasant weather, with warm days and less chance of afternoon thunderstorms. While summer is beautiful, be prepared for potential afternoon showers and higher temperatures, which can make the back nine a bit more challenging.

Are there any specific holes at Kissing Camels that I should look out for?

Absolutely, the par-3 13th is a showstopper, playing downhill with a dramatic backdrop of the red rocks - it's a photo opportunity and a challenging shot all in one. Also, keep an eye out for the 15th, a par-5 that truly embodies the course's name with its camel-like rock formations framing the hole.
