Castle Pines for the 2024 BMW Championship


Castle Pines Golf Club in Castle Rock, Colorado – site of the 2024 BMW Championship, which is serving as the second leg of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs – was designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1981. 

Nicklaus and associate Jim Lipe renovated or restored each green in 2014, part of a larger renovation over a span of a decade that included significant changes to five holes on each side. 

Castle Pines was home to The International on the PGA Tour from 1986 through 2006. That event was famous for its modified Stableford scoring system. The layout ranks No. 4 in Colorado on Golfweek’s Best list of top private clubs in each state. It also ranks No. 57 among all modern courses built since 1960 in the U.S.

More: The PGA Tour hasn’t been to Castle Pines since 2006. Here’s what players are saying about it playing 8,130 yards

Castle Pines will play to a par of 72 at 8,130 yards for the BMW Championship, the longest ever for a PGA Tour event. But with the course sitting at an altitude of some 6,200 feet above sea level and with 325 feet of elevation changes, it will play shorter than the scorecard suggests. Longtime Castle Pines general manager Keith Schneider says most players will see their shots travel 14 percent farther at that elevation depending on the type of shot and its trajectory.
