[edit] Hiwan Golf Club

Hiwan Golf Club is an 18-hole golf course located in scenic Evergreen, Colorado. It has an excellent pool facility with a 25 yard pool, water slide, 8 tennis courts and locker rooms. The clubhouse was designed in the 1960's and has two restaurants, The Grill and the Hiwan Room. It also has a smoking lounge, library, pro shop and fully facilitated gym with treadmill, elliptical, weights and weight machine. The golf course is 7,097 yards from the back tees and is a par 70. The fairways are lined with ponderosa pines and Douglas firs and magnificent Bergen Peak provides an elegant background for nearly every hole. The greens at Hiwan are notoriously difficult with oscillations in elevation and steep drops. There are two water holes at Hiwan; the par-4 Number 7 is 450 yards long with a large pond protecting the green and the par-3 Number 12 is the most picturesque hole with a series of waterfalls and three sculpted bunkers. There also is a large practice facility that operates in the summer with a driving range, chipping green and a spacious putting green. The staff at Hiwan provides services to every member of the club. In the winter, with nearly 120 annual inches of snow in Evergreen, Colorado, the course serves as a cross-country ski area with three varying trails. The large hill on golf hole Number 15 serves as a local sledding hill. Hiwan is the golfing jewel of the Colorado Front Range.
