Golf in Larkspur

Larkspur is a small Douglas County community in the ponderosa pine forests of the Palmer Divide, situated in the transition zone between the Denver and Colorado Springs metropolitan areas where the terrain and vegetation begin to change from the open plains to the forested highlands. Golf Club at Bear Dance occupies this landscape with a private course that serves the Douglas-El Paso county border communities with exclusive golf in a forested setting unlike any in the nearby suburbs. The community's position along the Palmer Divide gives it a topographical character that has attracted rural residential development by those who want mountain-adjacent living without the full commitment to a remote mountain address.
