Situated at the base of the Gore Mountain Range in the Rocky Mountains, Vail Golf Club is a mountain course with beautiful scenery provided by Gore Creek, which meanders through the layout, and the White River National Forest that rests adjacent to it. The golf course features flat, tree-lined fairways and medium-sized greens, both of which are well protected by numerous bunkers. The golf course plays through towering trees that demand accuracy. There are also several beaver ponds throughout the golf course that come into play on several holes. In addition to the scenic round, Vail Golf Club also provides practice facilities including a driving range and putting greens.

It will be great!

Played this course early in the year, so had to deal with green aerations. They are replacing the grass on 7 greens this year, so there were temporary greens in the fairway. They weren't much more than shorter fairway grass so it was hard to put.. Despite all of this, we had a lot of fun and enjoyed the challenge of the holes. Very beautiful and picturesque! We took several group shots. The food is a little overpriced. A turkey sandwich, chips and a gatorade was $18.

A nice course with one thing going for it

There are limited choices in the high Rockies and a short playing season because of weather. This drives up the cost to play but the scenery alone almost makes up for it. Vail has a great valley that looks over the Gore Range and the course takes advantage of this feature. However the flat topography limits the creativity of the design and it is not quite as interesting as some of the other courses. Most of the holes just do not have a lot of character or flair. The conditions were very good all around, including a good practice area. For the most part it has one thing going for it, it’s in “Vail”.

Good course

This is a good classic golf course. The course is in good condition and the greens roll well.

Cons: Some holes are a bit repetitive and the highway is visible in many of them

Too much rough.
