The Garden of the Gods Golf Club, aka Kissing Camels, is a private 27 hole golf club yet open to public play when booked with overnight accommodations at the Lodge.
The golf course treks through a stunning setting in a residential community at the Garden of the Gods State Park and at times, is a surreal experience. The North, South, and West nines were designed by J. Press Maxwell in the 1960s with unlimited photo opportunities of the Gardens and Pikes Peak throughout the round. All three nines are challenging as they journey through tall, pine tree lined fairways bordered by rock outcroppings, numerous water hazards, and sand bunkers with a variety of green shapes and sizes. There's five sets of tees overall with the yardages, course/slope ratings from the back tees for the various rotations: North/West-7,051 yards, 73.1/133, course/slope ratings; South/North-7,037 yards, 72.6/131; West/South-7,000 yards, 72.5/131.
