Breckenridge
The Town of Breckenridge can boast that it is
the only municipality in the world to own a Jack Nicklaus designed,
27-hole golf course.The clubhouse sits at an elevation of 9,324
feet. At this elevation the golf ball flies farther and straighter
than at lower elevations, as there is less air resistance. The
air not only allows you to hit the ball farther, but also offers
temperatures that make you forget about the heat of the summer.
