The golf course was originally established in 1898. The antecedent of the present club was formed under the name of the Town and Gown Club. In those early days, golf was not the only sport emphasized at the club. Tennis, bowling, trap shooting and other sports were also on the program and many of the members attained regional and national prominence in their chosen fields.

 

In 1910, the Suburban Land and Water Company was organized

with Mr. William Jewett, George A. Foulen and E .J. Ullrich as

the principals.For an expenditure of nearly $100,000, this

company bought 225 acres just outside the city limits, installed

a water system, laid out an 18 hole golf course(since then

another 9 holes have been added) and built the $40,000

clubhouse.

 

The Colorado Springs Golf Club was the tenant of

this property. During World War 1, William Jewett acquired all stock 

of the Suburban Land and Water Company, and, in June,1919,

presented the city of Colorado Springs with the clubhouse and

course as a memorial to his wife. 

 

The course bears the name of Patty Stuart Jewett Memorial Field in 

her honor. Her portrait hangs above the fireplace in the lobby of the

clubhouse.Today Patty Jewett ranks high among the finest municipal

courses in the country and is one the most played courses in
Colorado.
