Westminster’s Premier Golf Course Community
Legacy Ridge is Westminster’s most recognizable neighborhood — a well-established golf course community built in the early 1990s around the city-owned Legacy Ridge Golf Course, an Arthur Hills-designed championship layout that is one of the most respected public courses in the Denver metro. The neighborhood sits in north Westminster near US-36 and Federal Boulevard, giving residents straightforward access to both Denver and Boulder while living in a quiet, park-surrounded community.
The course opened in 1994, measures 7,157 yards from the championship tees, and features four tee boxes on every hole — wide fairways, generous landing areas, and greens averaging over 6,000 square feet make it accessible to all skill levels. The course takes full advantage of sweeping mountain views, wetlands, prairie grasses, and gently rolling topography. Its affordability relative to comparable Front Range public courses has made it one of Westminster’s most valued community assets — kids play free after 3pm with a paid adult.
Homes reflect quality 1990s suburban construction — traditional two-story homes, ranch-style residences, and larger contemporary builds on premium lots backing to the fairways. Mountain views from the community’s western sections are consistently cited as the neighborhood’s top residential feature, and an active annual community garage sale (often 100+ participating homes) reflects strong neighborhood social cohesion.
Between Denver and Boulder on US-36
Legacy Ridge’s position near US-36 places residents approximately 20–25 minutes from downtown Denver and 20 minutes from downtown Boulder — one of the most balanced commuter locations in Westminster. The Westminster Promenade is nearby with a 25-theater cinema and indoor ice skating. Multiple RTD bus routes serve the corridor, and the Flatiron Flyer BRT provides express transit to both cities.
The Big Dry Creek Trail runs through or adjacent to the neighborhood, providing cycling and running connections throughout Westminster’s open space network. Westminster City Park — 205 acres with soccer fields, a skate park, and trail access — rounds out the recreational picture.
