Description

A day at Fossil Trace Golf Club, a two-time Best of Denver winner, is more than just a day on the links – it’s also a trip back in time.

Triceratops footprints, as well as other prehistoric creatures’ fossils, can be viewed adjacent to the 12th green. And inside the main doors of the golf course clubhouse is an exhibit that details the rich history of the property, sharing information about the dinosaur tracks and other impressive fossils uncovered on the course.
