The Broadmoor has decided against an expansion of its golf course.

Staff Denver Business Journal

The Broadmoor has dropped a proposal to expand its west and east golf courses after neighbors of the Colorado Springs resort objecting to closing a potential evacuation route, The Gazette reports.

Under an idea the resort first floated in May, The Broadmoor would have to close part of Cheyenne Mountain Boulevard to create one large course and enable the resort to attract more elite golf touranments.

The Broadmoor reached out to neighboring residents for their opinion on the proposal. What came back were concerns closing Cheyenne Mountain Boulevard could get in the way if an evacuation was needed to escape a wildfire.

Denver financier Phil Anschutz owns The Broadmoor.
