Nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountain Front Range, Mariana Butte Golf Course in Loveland, Colorado, captures the very best of mountain-meets-prairie golf. One of three public courses in Loveland—alongside The Olde Course at Loveland and Cattail Creek Golf Course—Mariana Butte stands out for its panoramic beauty, elevated tees, and the ever-present rush of the Big Thompson River weaving its way through several holes.
Less than an hour’s drive from Denver, Mariana Butte feels like a world away from city life. This premiere 18-hole layout offers both challenge and charm, with a course design that embraces Colorado’s natural terrain. Players encounter dramatic elevation changes, scenic carries over water, and fairways framed by native grasses and red-rock outcroppings—all with postcard views of the Rockies in the background.
Repeatedly chosen as one of Colorado’s favorite golf destinations by both NOCO Style Magazine and Colorado AvidGolfer, Mariana Butte continues to draw players from across the Front Range. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or simply soaking in the views, it’s the perfect place to relax, reconnect, and rediscover the good things in life.
Mariana Butte offers a complete set of practice facilities for golfers looking to sharpen their game:
Driving Range – Open daily, weather permitting, with range codes available in the Pro Shop.
Practice Putting Green – Conveniently located near the lower parking lot for pre-round warm-ups.
Chipping Greens & Practice Bunker – Found between the 10th fairway and 18th green, ideal for dialing in your short game.
The Pro Shop carries the latest golf apparel, shoes, and equipment, and the staff is always ready to help players find clubs perfectly suited to their swing.
No round at Mariana Butte is complete without a visit to Birdies, the course’s beloved restaurant. Voted one of Loveland’s “Best Views in Outdoor Dining,” Birdies offers a relaxed atmosphere, hearty fare, and a patio overlooking the Rockies—a perfect spot to toast a round well played.
This past July, Mariana Butte played host to the CGA Women’s Four-Ball Championship, also known as The Brassie Championship, welcoming many of the state’s top women golfers. The course’s combination of scenic beauty and strategic layout provided an ideal stage for competitive play, showcasing why it remains a favorite among CGA championship sites.
