Wellshire golf course is one of Denver´s best public golf courses. Originally, it was a private country club that was purchased by the city and county of Denver when the club experienced difficult financial times in the 1950´s. The course was originally built in 1926 by Donald Ross and remains
today as one of the most picturesque golf courses in Denver. The historic Wellshire Inn remains as a fine, gourmet restaurant that is open to the public.
Surrounding the Wellshire golf course is the residential area which is now known as Wellshire and/or Southern Hills. In the past, this area has been one of Denver´s best "starter home" communities with modest frame and brick homes, built in the 1950´s and 1960´s, as well as large sprawling brick ranch homes. Today a few builders have purchased some of the older homes and begun to build larger, new homes.
Quiet atmosphere and lush green lawns of the neighborhood still remain. This neighborhood is still rated as one the safest 
neighborhoods for crime, or in this case the lack of it, in Denver. People ride bikes frequently on the quiet residential streets and there is always pedestrian traffic walking this neighborhood. Many Buyers are attracted to the fact that most of the homes in the Wellshire area either feed into the reputable Cherry Creek School District or Slavens Elementary - one of the most highly ranked elementary schools in Denver. Wellshire is a desirable neighborhood with affordable real estate and easy proximity to The University of Denver and nearby shopping.
