5/4/02 - I think this is a great course, and advise
everyone, if they have the chance, to play here. - Zach Kleiman
1/4/01 - This course is by far the best course i have ever
played in my 23 years of golf. The fairways are always in
exceptional condition and the greens are as clean cut as if they
were using the course for a major. Although the rough is a little
too much, it makes the golfer use every possible bit of knowledge
while playing. I have played all over the world, including St.
Andrew's and this course, Broadmoor, definitely is in my top 25. -
Tom
The course is a wonderful course to walk and enjoy what
golf was like before land developers got into the act. |
