Description
The Works Progress Administration (WPA) built the Flatirons Golf Course for the city of Boulder, from 1936 to 1938. It was then called the Boulder Municipal Sports Center.
Flatirons Golf Course began as the Boulder Country Club, located at 28th and Iris. In 1933, course architect William H. Tucker was commissioned to design a new course, and the club and city turned to the WPA to build the new design as a municipal course at the current location at 57th and Arapahoe Streets.
