About
Rio Grande Club is named after the river that flows through the course. Golfers will have to make a tricky shot over this mighty river. Surrounded by the two million-acre Rio Grande National Forest, the scenic landscape is dotted with sandstone outcroppings and groves of pines, aspens, and cottonwoods. It is a true mountain golf course with dramatic elevation changes that add an interesting element to the round. There are also fast-running creeks winding throughout the golf course, most prominently the Alder Creek on the back nine. Rio Grande Club's rolling terrain in combination with the abundance of trees demand accuracy and careful strategy.

Reviews
Top 5 course in the USA for my money!
This is one of the finest, well groomed, super designed, most scenic and varied elevation golf courses in the US.
Can't say enough about the course, beauty, elevation changes, varied from the front nine along the Rio Grande to the back nine traversing the upper reaches of the mountains here in South Fork. The fairways are lush, the ball sits up like on a tee, the greens are true and fair, as is the entire layout! You will not be disappointed! A stay and play destination that shouldn't be missed! #18 is worth the price of the course fees! ENJOY!
Off the beaten path
Can't complain about having the course to myself. The layout here is fun and creative with lots of great scenery that comes into play like the rock wall on #1 and multiple forced carries of the Rio Grande. Can't give this place a higher grade though because a $60 plus green fee at this time of year is unacceptable. Greens had layers of sand and chemicals on them all day and fairways were pretty shaggy/leafy. There needed to be a larger discount for that.
