From the Rocky Mountains to the valleys of the Western Slope and the plains out east, Colorado has some of the most desirable private golf courses in the country.
We already shared Colorado's top-ranked public courses in 2026. If you're looking for a more exclusive round — or just want to see which high-end clubs made the cut — Golfweek, part of the USA TODAY Network, has also released its yearly rankings for the top private courses in each state.
That includes Colorado. The Centennial State has many familiar names in the latest rankings, featuring courses that have hosted premiere PGA and USGA events like the 2024 BMW Championship and the 2023 U.S. Amateur Championship in recent years.
The 10 clubs stayed the same from the 2025 edition, though the exact order has a few changes. The 2026 U.S. Open champion (Denver native Wyndham Clark) even grew up playing at the No. 3 course on this list.
Here are Golfweek's top 10 private golf courses in Colorado for 2026:
Note: All of these courses are member-only and don't accept daily-fee or resort play.
