About Boulder Country Club
Boulder, CO | Set against stunning, panoramic views of Colorado’s Front Range, the Flatirons, and the snow-capped Indian Peaks, Boulder Country Club (BCC) stands as one of the region’s premier private, member-owned non-profit country clubs. Serving the Boulder County community since 1922, BCC combines a rich legacy of stewardship and tradition with a modern, family-friendly, lifestyle-driven experience.
The cornerstone of the golf operation is the classic 18-Hole Championship Course designed by Press Maxwell. Spanning up to 7,110 yards with 9 USGA-rated tee sets, the parkland-style layout meanders through mature trees, winding canals, and serene lakes, renowned statewide for its lightning-quick, smooth greens. Complementing the Championship Course is the acclaimed Les Fowler 9-Hole Par 3 Course, a dedicated Family Course, a brand-new 24,000 sq. ft. putting green, and top-tier practice facilities including a dedicated short game practice complex with bunker areas.
Beyond golf, BCC recently completed a multi-million dollar revitalization of its historic 36,000+ sq. ft. Hobart Wagner clubhouse. Designed in collaboration with Sopher Sparn Architects, the elevated facility showcases interlinked hexagonal spaces, upgraded dining, modernized event spaces, and state-of-the-art lighting and audiovisual integration. Combined with comprehensive racquet sports, wellness facilities, aquatics, and vibrant social events, Boulder Country Club delivers a uniquely “Boulder” experience rooted in hospitality, community, and excellence across all generations.
