Beaver Course At Breckenridge Golf Club

Breckenridge, Colorado · 18 holes · par 36 · Public/Municipal. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, opened 1987.

A caddie's yardage book for every hole: plays-like distance from USGS lidar elevation, reach and carry numbers for every bunker and water hazard, green front, middle and back, which way each green falls, and the lay-up zone on par 5s. Distances are from the back tees along the mapped hole; for a shorter tee, take off the scorecard difference.

Sloped greens15 of 18Tilt 2% or more

At about 9,320 ft the ball carries about 11% farther than at sea level, so a 150-yard shot plays like about 134. Golfers visiting from low elevation should expect to club down.
Biggest climb: hole 15, where the green sits 56 ft above the tee and plays about 19 yards longer.
Biggest drop: hole 11, where the green sits 76 ft below the tee and plays about 25 yards shorter.
Driving-zone hazards sit on the right on 7 holes and on the left on 3: a tee shot missed right costs more here.
15 greens tilt 2% or more. Each hole below says which side of the hole leaves an uphill putt.

Maps: tee at the bottom, green at the top. The dashed line is the mapped hole; the gold band is the lay-up zone; the arrow on the green points downhill.

Hole maps, hazards and playing notes come from mapped course data and USGS 3DEP elevation (public domain), not a visit. Plays-like numbers use the Skitty caddie's rule of one yard per 3 ft of rise, from the longest tee; altitude uses 1.16% of carry per 1,000 ft.
