Golfweeks best public-access golf courses in every state
June 2026, Colorado Springs, CO. Flying Horse North has been recognized in Golfweek’s rankings as one of the best public-access golf courses in the US. The hundreds of members of Golfweek’s course-ratings panel continually evaluate courses and rate them on 10 criteria on a points basis of 1 through 10. They also file a single, overall rating on each course. Those overall ratings are averaged to produce Golfweek’s Best course rankings.
We are thrilled that Flying Horse North ranked #1 in Colorado. Congratulations to all of the incredible golf courses in Colorado! Director of Golf, Jake O’Dell, shares “This honor is a testament to the vision, craftsmanship, and dedication that have made the course a truly special destination for golfers across the state and beyond.
