3 hiking options:

1. Very easy: Flatirons Vista Loop. South Boulder, with parking just off 93. Beautiful views into Eldorado Canyon (which is another trail you could consider). You can do the full loop, or just an out and back. This is essentially a gravel road in civilization, but the views are nice. I assume you'll take the easy option since you play golf.

2. Medium to light difficulty: Green Mountain West Ridge Trail. The drive up Flagstaff will take you right through Flatirons and give you a unique perspective of them. Kind of like side-boob, but for giant rock structures. So the drive itself is fun (watch out for bikers). Once at the top of Flagstaff, it's a two-mile reasonably flat (until the very end) hike across to the top of Green Mountain. From there, you'll be able to look across the vast plains all the way to Tennessee and feel pity for all of the flatlanders.

3. More difficult. Royal Arch. In Chautauqua. This one will give your legs a good workout--lots of rock stairs. It's popular, though if you do it on a Friday, you should find plenty of seclusion. The arch is beautiful and the views are great. It's a great hike if your weak golfer legs are up for it.

No golf?

Try any of the trails in Chatauqua. Royal Arch is good if you are in shape. Start with breakfast on the porch at the Dining Hall.

Enjoy all.
 
I would definitely try to hit the buff for breakfast on Friday because it will be a pain in the ass on Saturday morning.

Thanks for the recommendations. I don't won't to wear my golf legs out too much, I have rounds scheduled for Sunday and Monday.

FYI - my favorite Colorado football game of all time was when Chris Brown ran for 6 TD's vs Nebraska on Thanksgiving. I loved seeing Nebraska get beat like a drum. I think it was 63-35 or something like that.
