The Vista at Applewood Golf Course: Your Dream Wedding Venue in Golden, CO

A bride and groom stand close together on a dirt path at their Applewood Golf Course Wedding, with mountains and trees in the background. The bride holds a bouquet of flowers.

This could be you.

If you’re dreaming of a Colorado wedding that feels relaxed, beautiful, and easy to enjoy, Applewood Golf Course is a venue worth serious consideration. Located in Golden — just 20 minutes from Denver — this golf course wedding venue offers sweeping views of the foothills, golden-hour light, and one of the smoothest guest experiences around.

As an Applewood Golf Course wedding photographer, I love how this venue balances simplicity with scenery. It gives you space to breathe and celebrate without the stress of complicated logistics.

Why I Love Photographing Here

I’m Ben — photographer and founder of Boxcar. I’ve photographed weddings at Applewood across seasons, and what I love most is how easy it feels. The light shows up. The day flows. And the people are the focus.

What I bring:

  • Familiarity with the course and portrait zones
  • Calm guidance that keeps things on track
  • Clean edits that reflect the tones of the foothills and sky
  • Timeline help for first looks, portraits, and ceremony pacing

This venue works best when couples lean into the comfort — and that’s where I help.
