Insider Pick:

Description: Bear Dance is just a smidge north of the Pikes Peak region, but it is a local secret of sorts—open to the public, Bear Dance is the home of the Colorado Section of the Professional Golf Association (PGA). The 18-hole course is designed for championship play and is absolutely magnificent. The challenging course is almost 8,000 yards in layout, with dramatic elevation changes, tree-lined fairways, dramatic water features, and stunning views. Green fees range from $40 to $109, and there is a pro shop and restaurant. Standard golf attire is required, including no denim allowed. A PGA Master Professional is available for lessons.
