Several new facilities emerged on site, including the luxurious Broadmoor South and the International Center. They oversaw the design of two additional golf courses as well, including one developed by the legendary Arnold Palmer.

Now owned by the Anschutz family, The Broadmoor today continues to be one of the nation’s most prestigious historic destinations.
