Salida Golf Club

Detailed description of Salida Golf Club

The Salida Golf Club golf course first opened for play in 1926. The course was designed by a golf professional from Colorado Springs, Emmitt Killian.

The original routing and green sites remain to this day, with the only significant changes being tee boxes, bunkers, trees and an irrigation system that was installed in the 80's. The greens are small and fast, there is water on 8 of the 9 holes.

The usual pace of play is two hours for nine holes. The course is on a slope, but is easy to walk. Trees define each fairway but are not numerous enough to lose your ball in them.

The golf course at Salida Golf Club plays to a maximum 9-hole distance of 3,111 yards and a par-35. The course rating is 34.7 and it has a slope rating of 121. Additional tee boxes can be used to double loop this layout and play a par-70, 18 holes.
