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. |

by the venerable Pete and Perry Dye, Copper Creek accommodates
