Wife wants to move to CO Springs, How's the golf?

Like the title sys. My wife is afraid she'll melt in Mesa/Gilbert , AZ.

She seems to think Co Springs suits her tastes.

Do you play all year there? Or are we looking at 9 month season?

Good courses within 30 miles?

Any help would be great.

We're also looking at St. George, UT.

We have a couple great courses around town and a few more within a 30min to a hour. The Air Force Academy has two great courses, the Broadmoor is a resort that has most recently hosted the US Ladies Open and there are a couple more in the Springs city limits. Also, Bear Dance, Castle Pines and Red Hawk are in Castle Rock - which is about 30 to 40 minutes North of the Springs depending on where you live. Hope this helps.

With the ones mentioned above there are so cheaper courses to Include Silver Spruce on Peterson AFB, Cheyenne Shadows on Fort Carson, Glenn Eagle, a couple municipal courses (Patty Jewitt and Valley High), Cherokee Ridge is a 9 hole regulation course with a 9 hole Par 3, Springs Ranch, Antler Creek and both Course on the Airforce Academy as mentioned before are amazing.

The official season for USGA handicaps is March through November. However, you can play year round if the courses are open. It really is weather dependent and often very localized. Many times the courses in C-Springs may have snow while Pueblo is open.

My recommendation would be to pick up another winter sport when you move here. That way if the courses are covered you can go skiing or snowshoeing and enjoy the winter weather.

Thanks for all the info guys!
We're here now, just getting settled in with a new job, new housing, and new surroundings.
I do snowboard in the winter, but like get at least a round or 2 in each month.
Played Bear Dance when I was out for my interview/ scouting trip. Fun track and will go back. Also played Pine Creek, which needed some work but was ok. Had good company both places. Been to the range at Sand Creek a couple of times.......Where is the best practice facility near town?

I just moved down here as well, and I haven't been a lot of places, but I really like the range at Cherokee Ridge. Mondays are off of mats, but all others are off grass. Their grass is always in great shape and can always find a solid spot. There is a small short game area and they haven't minded me bringing my own shag tube with me. Only complaint really is the balls are crap and beat.
