About West Woods Golf Club

West Woods Golf Club is a 27-hole municipal course owned by the City of Arvada, laid out as three distinct nines that can be combined in different pairings.

The Sleeping Indian nine is the most open of the three, with few trees but frequent elevation change and Ralston Creek in play throughout. It takes its name from a rock formation in the Ralston Valley that is visible from the course. Its opening hole is a short dogleg right, with fairway bunkers guarding the inside corner of the turn.

The Cottonwood nine is the most heavily wooded, with creeks and ponds fed by water running down from the foothills, and it borders a nature trail near the 13th and 16th holes. Wildlife is often seen along the holes. It begins with a par 4 that bends sharply left around a large pond. The Silo nine features several water carries, rolling terrain and wide views, and is named for the landmark silo beside its fifth hole.
