Breckenridge Golf Club

Breckenridge, CO

Texas Outside Rating 9.4

 

Breckenridge Golf Club Review

Breckenridge Golf Club is a Jack Nicklaus designed public 27 hole beauty with a great combination of variety and vistas.  The three nine hole courses are named Bear, Beaver and Elk for the wildlife that frequents this area.  Each nine has some unique features but the common thread is lush fairways, near perfect greens and beautiful meadows and mountains. 

The combination of the Beaver and the Elk course play Colorado's toughest rating/slope at 73.5/151 from the tips but three other tee options are provided for golfers that want to enjoy their round without such a big challenge.  Breckenridge is walker friendly but the 9,300'+ elevation will be an obstacle for a Texan not accustomed to the thin air.
Breckenridge keeps its greens and fairways in good shape in spite of the tough winters.  Learn more from this Review of Breckenridge Golf Club

     
Copper Creek Golf Club

Copper Mountain , CO

Texas Outside Rating 8.7

Copper Creek Golf Club Review

Copper Creek is truly an affordable, friendly family option for anyone wanting to experience Rocky Mountain golf without breaking their vacation budget.  

This 18 hole course is short in length but full of exciting (tricky?) holes and beautiful mountain scenery.  Compared to other Summit County courses Copper Creek is a bargain.  It's definitely walker friendly ...although a few holes will leave you gasping for oxygen if you've just arrived from sea level.  

Give it a try - a great intro to high altitude golf. Review of Copper Creek Golf Club

     
Fossil Trace Golf Course

Fossil Trace Golf Club


Golden, CO


Texas Outside Rating 9.3

 

Fossil Trace is a unique golf course with some exciting twists including standing rock pillars, 64 million year old fossils on rock walls and an assortment of remnants from the mining days of yesteryear.   Built in 2003 this rolling terrain beauty is one you need to play when in the Denver area. 

Several forgiving bowl shaped greens will help your score and your ego but you'll also be penalized by wayward shots or leaving yourself with downhill putts.  Be sure to enjoy their Three Tomatoes Bar/Restaurant with it's deck over the 10th tee and 18th green for pure Colorado enjoyment before or after a great golf experience.

Redlands Mesa Golf Course in Grand Junction

The Golf Club At Redlands Mesa

Grand Junction, CO

Texas Outside Rating 9.4

The Golf Club at Redlands Mesa Review

The Golf Club at Redlands Mesa in Grand Junction, CO is simply spectacular.  It's a blend of Colorado beauty with Arizona-type lush green fairways winding through rugged red rock.  Combine this with Jim Engh's creative designing and you've got a golf experience that ranks sky high in fun, challenge, excitement and natural beauty.  In addition, Grand Junction sits in a valley at the foot of scenic and historic Colorado National Monument.  Try to play it all and see it all while you're in Grand Junction.  For more information check out our review on The Golf Club at Redlands Mesa.
     
Fun course - Keystone Ranch

Keystone Ranch Golf Course

Keystone, CO


Texas Outside Rating 9.4

 

Keystone Ranch Golf Course Review


The Ranch course winds through a beautiful high mountain meadow and some old ranch buildings and farm equipment from yesteryear.  The greens are generally fast yet receptive to incoming lofted shots.
Most of the holes are Scottish links style with gnarly roughs, marshlands and ponds ready to grab the most wayward shots.  The Ranch is walkable if your lungs and legs have become accustomed to the 9,000'+ elevation of Summit County. The Ranch House at Keystone Ranch is also a fine restaurant enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.

Keystone's River Course is a real beaut

The River Course at Keystone


Keystone, CO


Texas Outside Rating 9.3

 

The River Course at Keystone is an exciting and beautiful 18 hole course with breathtaking elevated tees and gorgeous views of the Snake River Valley and the many surrounding snow capped mountain peaks. This par 71 course is both challenging to the long hitters due to the tree lined roller coaster fairways yet fair to the shorter hitters due to the four tee box options ranging from 6,886 yards from the Blue Tees to 4,762 yards from the Red Tees. 

Bring your camera.  The mornings tend to be especially clear and scenic and you'll want to save the memories. Read the review of The River Course At Keystone.

     
Arrowhead Golf Course - Wow, this is scenic beauty at it's best

Arrowhead Golf Club


Littleton, CO 


Texas Outside Rating 9.4

 

Arrowhead Golf Club Review

Arrowhead GC is a "must play" when you're in the Denver area and want to see the ultimate in geological beauty.....with a great golf course winding through it.  The red sandstone flatiron rock formations are incredible.  You'll feel like you ought to be able to bank your shots off the rocks to the green.  If that should happen consider yourself very lucky because most holes have deep and gnarly roughs at the base of the standing rocks.  The back nine and especially holes 12-14 are exciting, challenging, and absolutely breathtaking in their natural beauty.  Enjoy this unique combination of geology and golf. Read the review of Arrowhead Golf Club to learn more.

Lakota Canyon Ranch Golf Club Review

Lakota Canyon Ranch Golf Club is a classic Jim Engh designed Colorado mountain course.  Its located just off I-70 just west of Glenwood Springs about an hour from Vail and Aspen and 3 hours from Denver International Airport.  Check out our review on this exciting and beautiful course plus other activities in the Glenwood Springs area.  It's well worth the scenic drive to head west to play this roller coaster course with its very forgiving fairways and greens.

Snowmass Golf Club near Aspen Colorado

Snowmass Club

Snowmass, CO

Texas Outside Rating 9.7

Snowmass Club is what makes me continue to play this very expensive and frustrating game. If offers golfers something of everything that keeps us coming back for more punishment and abuse - majestic panoramic views, near perfect conditions, fun and unique holes, lots of challenges, blind shots, elevation changes, water, large steep faced bunkers with soft fluffy sand, and much more. Snowmass is challenging (7008 yards and a 146 rating) but has 5 tee boxes which means you can bite off as much as you want to chew.

The clubhouse, facilities, and service are all first class. This is a must play course if you're anywhere near Snowmass or Aspen. Learn more by reading our review of Snowmass Club.
