The 2011-2012 ski season here in the Vail Valley may not have been the epic year we hoped for, but several valley golf courses are now up and running!
Gypsum Creek Golf Course and Eagle Ranch Golf Course are both open and playing well.
Gypsum Creek ( formerly Cotton Ranch) opened first and has the amazing rate of $35 for 18 holes including a cart! Designed by Pete Dye, the course takes advantage of the creek and natural mesas to provide a uniquely Colorado golfing experience. And its warm in Gypsum!
Eagle Ranch, designed by Arnold Palmer, is a true challenge from the tips, especially if the wind is blowing, which is often. The course winds from the valley floor up into the draws of the Eagle Ranch community. Water comes into play on many holes, as does the native grass if you're not hitting it straight, which can be often. Check online for the best rates.
