One of the wonderful amenities that the Community offers is the Highlands Ranch Golf Club. The Highlands Ranch Golf Club offers an exciting championship golf course designed by three-time U.S. Open champion Hale Irwin. The course is set among the scenic terrain of Highlands Ranch and will give the golfer spacious views of the Rocky Mountains. Formerly a working ranch, Highlands Ranch Golf Club provides an enjoyable, yet challenging golf experience. The course integrates natural rolling hills and landscape with the scenic Marcy Gulch. All the golf holes feature multiple tee boxes to accommodate players of all ability. The par 72 course measures 7158 yards from the back tees and 5404 yards from the forward tees. Ten of the holes are played through the rolling prairie, while the other eight are set along the Highline Canal and are dotted with huge cottonwoods. This championship 18 hole course has 93 acres of manicured turf and should be on everyone's must play list.

As might be expected, Highlands Ranch features plenty of activity for those who enjoy the great outdoors. There are numerous hiking and biking trails throughout the area. The trail along the historic Highline Canal allows residents to bicycle all the way to downtown Denver. The nearby Wildcat Mountain Reserve has 8,200 acres dedicated to wildlife habitat, open space and outdoor recreation. The South Platte Canyon and river in the southwest offers great fishing and hiking. The Chatfield Reservoir is a popular place for boating and fishing, as is the Cherry Creek Reservoir in Aurora.
