Heritage Eagle Bend Golf Club in Aurora, Colo., an Arthur Hills-designed layout, rolls through hilly terrain with elevation changes, 62 strategically placed bunkers, lakes, streams and rugged native areas.

Coyote Creek Golf Course in Fort Lupton, Colo. defers to hazards other than length to defend its honor. Water makes some cameo appearances throughout the round, but it's thick, club-twisting, ball-eating rough that rules the day at this solid city-owned municipal course northwest of Denver.
