Yes, elevation (pressure) will generally have the largest impact, followed by temperature and then moisture. There could be some other temperature related impacts such as the golf ball compressing less in colder temperatures. I am only addressing the atmospheric component. In Denver, all other things being equal, you would probably see about a 10% increase in distance when compared to sea level.

At that elevation the longest club I could hit was a 6 iron. That isn't a big deal for the guys on tour but for this weekend golfer that was about 40 yards more than normal.
