Flying Horse Overview
About Flying Horse
Flying Horse is a master-planned, covenant-controlled community in northern Colorado Springs, about 1.5 miles east of I-25 between InterQuest Parkway and North Gate Boulevard. Nearly 2,000 homes were built here between 2005 and 2024 by Classic Homes, the community’s land developer, and Vantage Homes.
At its heart is Flying Horse Resort & Club, with the private Tom Weiskopf golf course, a clubhouse with The Steakhouse and the Tack Room, an athletic club and spa, and guest lodging at The Lodge. A second private 18-hole course, designed by Phil Smith, sits a few miles north at Flying Horse North, a newer neighborhood of custom homes on acreage.
The original community is inside the City of Colorado Springs and is served by Academy District 20. The three Discovery Canyon Campus schools share a campus about two miles away on North Gate Boulevard.

The Club
The Club at Flying Horse
The Club at Flying Horse is the community’s private club. A home here doesn’t automatically include a membership, and the Club accepts both residents and non-residents, so it pays to ask what, if anything, comes with a specific property.
- Weiskopf course: opened in the summer of 2005, with views of Pikes Peak and the U.S. Air Force Academy. The golf season runs about May through October.
- Flying Horse North course: a Phil Smith design that winds from the Black Forest pines out to open prairie, about 6 miles north of the main resort.
- Athletic Club: eight tennis courts, four of them red clay under a dome, four pickleball courts, a year-round heated 25-yard lap pool, and seasonal pools with a waterslide and splash pad.
- Clubhouse and dining: established in 2007, with a three-story wine tower, The Steakhouse and the Tack Room. The Spa and the Kids’ Cabin are part of the Athletic Club.
Membership categories, fees and rules are set by the Club and can change, so confirm current details directly with The Club at Flying Horse.
Homes & HOA
Homes, HOA and metro district details
Flying Horse is organized in villages, with one homeowners association and metro districts covering the whole master plan. Here is how the pieces fit together.
Villages and builders
The community is laid out in villages, including the custom villages of Calistoga, Verona and Toscano. The Village of Turin and the Village of Madonie are among the last villages in the master plan.
HOA
The Flying Horse Homeowners Association enforces the covenants, handles architectural approval under the community design guidelines, and provides weekly trash pickup.
Metro districts
Flying Horse Metropolitan Districts No. 2 and No. 3 cover the community and collect property taxes to repay infrastructure debt and maintain open space. That levy is on the tax bill, separate from HOA dues.
Streets and utilities
Most streets are city-owned; the gated enclaves have private streets. The city plows only streets on the school bus route. Colorado Springs Utilities provides water, sewer, electric and gas.
For any home, ask for the HOA documents and the current metro district mill levy, and in a gated enclave, ask how the private streets are maintained. Kaylie’s guide to metro districts in Colorado explains how they work.
Neighborhood Spotlight
Flying Horse North: custom homes on acreage
Flying Horse North sits just north of the original community, along Old Stagecoach Road between Black Forest Road and Highway 83, south of Hodgen Road. It’s set in the ponderosa pines of the Black Forest area, around the Phil Smith golf course.
Homesites are larger here. The first release had 81 homesites of 2½ to 5 acres, where buyers could bring their own builder or choose from preferred builders, and later filings offer lots of about 2½ to 3¾ acres, some along the golf course. The developer says a Signature Golf Membership initiation fee is included with homesites in Filings 3, 4 and 5.
Unlike the original Flying Horse, Flying Horse North is in unincorporated El Paso County, just outside the Colorado Springs city limits, with its own metro districts. That affects services, taxes and rules, so confirm the details for any lot or home.
