The Denver Country Club is one of the oldest country clubs in the United States, and the oldest west of the Mississippi.
Founded in 1887, the Club originally centered around horse racing but soon expanded to tennis, polo, golf and other activities. Our members include many leaders in the business, civic and philanthropic communities. The Club is a member-owned, and membership is by invitation.
Through its over 139 years of existence the Club is always evolving to stay with the times while holding true to the traditions that have made the DCC what it is today. Current facilities include an 18-hole golf course, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, outdoor platform tennis courts, grass tennis courts, a multi-dimensional Olympic-size swimming pool, a croquet and lawn bowling pitch, skate house and skating rink, fitness facility and, dining and banquet facilities.
Tennis has a long and distinguished history at the Denver Country Club as members becoming avid players starting back in the 1880s. Fifteen men and women ranked number one in the world have competed in tennis tournaments held at The Denver Country Club. One Club member, Gardnar Mulloy, was a Wimbledon doubles champion. Today members enjoy playing on twelve courts which includes two grass courts, two clay courts, and four all-weather composition courts, as well as four courts in the indoor facility. Cherished Denver Country Club tennis traditions include the Mitchell Cup for mixed doubles and the coveted Jackalope trophy for men. The DCC has active USTA, CTA and Tencap adult leagues as well as junior tennis programs for both boys and girls.
In the fall of 2014, two new platform tennis courts were added to the Winter Sports Plaza and ice rink. The fast-growing sport of pickleball became available to play the following spring.
