Welcome to Shining
Mountain Golf Course
What's
commonly known today as Pike's Peak was originally named "Shining Mountain" by
the Ute Indians because of how brightly the sun reflected off of the snow.
Minutes from the Idyllic town of Woodland Park, Colorado; Shining Mountain is
sure to be considered a jewel in the Rocky Mountain state. Woodland Park
is nestled amongst the pines of the Pike National Forest and with over 300 days
of sunshine, we enjoy comfortable summers and mild winters. Located at
nearly 8500 ft above sea level, we're not exactly heaven, but you can see it
from here!
Golf World Magazine says about John F.
Harbottle:
"One of the artists most in demand and the builder of courses you
most want to play."
The Designer
The Shining Mountain Golf Club opened in 1995 and was originally
designed by John F. Harbottle III, ASGCA (American Society of Golf
Course Architects). John has won wide acclaim for his work on many
of the nation's top courses. He has been nationally recognized for
his commitment to environmentally sensitive design.
"Great courses possess natural beauty, strategic hazards and variety
- not only in overall design, but also in the ways to play each hole."
John Harbottle, III ASGCA
