ALL THE WORLD OVER AMONG MY DUTIES AS MANAGING EDITOR OF THE GOLF MAGAZINE EXTRA GOLF AND EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF THE WEBSITE WWW.EXTRAGOLF.AT, I AM TO VISIT AND EVALUATE THE WORLD’S BEST GOLF RESORTS. HERE, I WOULD LIKE TO COMPARE THE BROADMOOR’S STORIED COURSES TO EUROPEAN GOLF RESORTS TO DEMONSTRATE HOW THE BROADMOOR COMPARES ON AN INTERNATIONAL LEVEL. SUFFICE IT TO SAY, IN MY EXPERIENCE, THIS MAGNIFICENT RESORT AT THE FOOT OF THE ROCKIES IS HOME TO SOME OF THE BEST GOLF IN THE WORLD. BY STEPHAN GUERTLER 26 The Broadmoor Magazine | 2011 • 2012 in any European country. I have traveled to many of the best golf resorts in the I world, primarily to write about them and check them off my list of “must visit” venues. Having had the opportunity to evaluate courses and resorts around the globe, there are only a handful of clubs which I would choose to visit annu- ally, if I could: The Broadmoor, Pebble Beach on the majestic Monterey Peninsula, and Bandon Dunes outside of Coos Bay, Oregon, are on that list. It’s no surprise that The Broadmoor is constantly ranked among the best golf resorts in America. Few resorts have hosted as many USGA championships as The Broadmoor and that history is certainly part of the experience when you play the East Course. You literally walk in the footsteps of legends visited The Broadmoor for the first time in the summer of 2002, and completely fell in love with its beauty. Its mountain location reminded me very much of my Austrian homeland. However, I soon found out that The Broad- moor’s East Course surpasses the most wonderful courses An international perspective on golf at The Broadmoor
