Winter Park, Colorado Golf
Just a 75-minute drive from Denver is a place where
golfers passionate about their games are finding their dream vacations
and getaways. In Grand County, not only will you find challenging
layouts, but at 8,000 feet above sea level, the ball flies 15% farther.
A better game, and scenery too - this is destination golf at its finest!
Four distinctively different Colorado mountain golf courses-all within
25 miles of each other-give golfers a variety of terrain and exciting
layouts, all framed with spectacular mountain views:
Pole Creek Golf Club, located 12 miles north of Winter Park, offers
tree-lined, links-style holes with breathtaking views of the Continental
Divide. At 8,600 feet above sea level, it's one of the highest 27-hole
courses in North America. Golf Digest rated this 10,709-yards, Par 108
course "Best New Golf Course in America" in 1985 and "Number One Place
to Play in Colorado" in 1998. Call 800-511-5076.
Grand Lake Golf Course is adjacent to Rocky Mountain National Park, and
as such you may be sharing the tee with some of the native elk, deer,
fox and red-tail hawk that roam this tight, tree-lined course. Each hole
of this 6,650 yards-Par 72 course offers a view of Grand Lake,
Colorado's largest natural lake, and the surrounding snow-capped peaks
of the Continental Divide. Call 970-627-8008.
Headwaters Golf Course at Granby Ranch is tucked between the sparkling waters of
the Fraser River and the mountain splendor for which the Rocky Mountains
are famous, and offers golfers of every level and interest an
exceptional experience. The front nine of this 7,200 yards-Par 72 course
serves as a warm-up to the back nine, where golfers will encounter
several memorable holes incorporating lakes, wetlands, elevated tees,
and large, deep bunkers. Call 888-283-7458.
Grand Elk Ranch & Club, located south of Granby, is the newest golf
course addition to Grand County. The 18-hole, 7,200 yards-Par 71 course
opened in late 2002 and is Colorado's first Heathland-style golf course.
The course sits at an elevation of 7,935 feet, and offers views of
federally protected wetlands that are habitat to hundreds of birds. Call 866-272-9822.
