Project Overview

The Flatirons Golf Course Facility will replace core infrastructure destroyed in the 2013 flood and follows the direction determined with City Council input in 2014. The new facility includes a family-friendly restaurant to serve the golf course and the surrounding community. This new facility takes advantage of the iconic setting and Flatirons views from the indoor/outdoor dining area and outdoor event space. Indoor restrooms will replace the temporary mobile trailer. The project also includes renovating the existing Pro Shop building to address maintenance needs and increase energy efficiency.

Concept plans for the Flatirons Golf Course Facility were approved by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) in Oct. 2020. Funding for the project was approved in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The construction is funded mostly from Permanent Parks and Recreation Funds (PPRF), which are dedicated to the acquisition or permanent improvement of parkland.

Concept designs

Project Update: June 2024

Construction is nearing completion for the new restaurant at the Flatirons Golf Course. It will be called the Ironwood Bar and Grille. Learn more about the planned restaurant and adjacent lawn and event areas.

Only a few final touches remain for the new restaurant’s construction. We expect Tanoa, Inc. will be able to occupy the space in late June to start their employee training and testing. We are still on schedule for the restaurant to open to the public this summer.

Along with an increased number of parking spots now available to golfers, the new ChargePoint EV chargers are now active and open for the community to use. Six charging stalls are available, one of them in an ADA van-accessible parking stall.

The remodeling of the Pro Shop is complete, and golfers and patrons can now check-in and utilize the Pro Shop again.

We appreciate your patience and continued support as we complete construction for these new golf course facilities.

Project Update: November 2023

Construction Continues at Flatirons Golf Course

Most of the parking lot is complete and Arapahoe Avenue no longer has lane closures near the entrance.

The New Restaurant

After a thorough evaluation process, a business has also been selected for the new restaurant. The owners of Dagabi Tapas Bar at 3970 Broadway, Noah and Tanya Westby, were selected. They will serve American cuisine and host special events in the restaurant when it opens.

Grants

In addition to construction and restaurant progress, Boulder Parks and Recreation has secured two grants:

  • The Charge Ahead Colorado Program grant will provide funding of up to $18,000 for three electric vehicle charging stations. Each station will have two ports for six total charging ports.
  • The Boulder Urban Stream Health Program awarded Boulder Parks and Recreation $178,000 towards a new cart washing station. Design will occur in 2024, and construction is anticipated in 2025.
