No one else has stepped up to answer you, Adam, so I'll give it a try. Obviously, where you play will in large part depend on the access you have to private clubs. Since I can't help you there, all I can do is point out some good public offerings around the state, which you could probably obtain from your mag listings.
In the Denver area there are many public offerings, some of which might be of interest. All have been discussed to a greater or lesser degree before on this forum.
Murphy Creek - Ken Kavanaugh design. A personal favorite.
Riverdale Dunes - Pete and Perry Dye. A well-done, fun, links-style layout.
Fossil Trace - A really interesting Engh course shoehorned into a tough
property. Some memorable holes.
There are more, some of which are more admired than others. For instance you used to find Arrowhead golf club on some "best of" lists, but that's mainly because of the spectacular views, and not so much because of the golf, per se.
A broader, statewide perspective brings up courses like Red Sky Ranch (one Norman, one Fazio), Lakota Canyon, The Broadmoor, Redlands Mesa, Walking Stick, Cougar Canyon. All are beloved by some. And there are many more that I'm not listing.
If you say what type of courses you're looking to play, old-school, modern, public, private, etc., you can narrow it down some.
