Gates of Country Club
What are the Gates of Country Club? That’s the area between Speer Boulevard and Fourth Avenue just east of University Boulevard. There are two actual cement monuments. They are reminiscent of actual fortress gates. But, you have to use your imagination after all. Still, the broad tree-lined streets and expansive lots remind me of some of the best neighborhoods in the country. I grew up on the North Shore’s Chicago in this area reminds me of neighborhoods in Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka and Lake Forest.
The landed gentry lives here and, while most of their children attend posh private schools. But, even the local public elementary school is one of the best in the city. Bromwell Elementary also serves the pricey but less expensive neighborhoods nearby such as Country Club North as well as the Cherry Creek shopping district neighborhood located next door.
The Denver Country Club itself is an attractive amenity for members of the Club. But that’s a hard ticket to find. Membership requires a sponsor and a rather large wallet. But, the courses delightful, the clubhouse charming and the social life engaging. Children have access to a pool and tennis as well as Junior golf programs. But, you’ll fork over well over $100,000 even if you a sponsor. Still, the food in the restaurant and the service are really good when compared to other clubs.
