Here are the 188 toughest golf courses from men's back tees in Colorado
The golf courses in Colorado from men's back tees averaged 6,262 yards with an average slope rating of 129. The courses are located across the state of Colorado.
The online version of this ranking expands beyond what appears in print; another 168 golf courses are included in our digital rankings, in addition to the 20 most challenging featured in this week's print edition.
This week's List is part of a shift in our research methodology and philosophy in 2025, one that will emphasize more data and context for readers while better coordinating the resources available to us and our 46 sister publications under the American City Business Journals flag. We anticipate this effort will identify thousands of new local records — and cumulatively, tens of thousands of new businesses across ACBJ's footprint — this year alone.
Information on The List was obtained from the United States Golf Association's Course Rating and Slope Database. Data was compiled as of March 19, 2025. In case of ties, the toughest golf courses are listed alphabetically.

Austin's 25 largest multifamily mortgage lenders
The 25 largest multifamily mortgage lenders in Austin originated more than $776 million in purchase loans in 2024. Information was analyzed by ACBJ from HMDA-LAR data published by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. Figures include purchase loans originated in 2024 for multifamily properties — defined as buildings with five or more units — in the Austin area. Only mortgages used for property purchases are included; sales financed in other ways, such as commercial real estate loans, are not included. This week's List is part of a shift in our research methodology and philosophy in 2025, one that will emphasize more data and context for readers while better coordinating the resources available to us and our 46 sister publications under the American City Business Journals flag. We anticipate this effort will identify thousands of new local records — and cumulatively, tens of thousands of new businesses across ACBJ's footprint — this year alone.
