Vail Golf Club
About
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.

great fairways Photo submitted by normdealbq2 on 06/12/2013
My wife was the best part.
We arrived 1 hour and 10 minutes early to enjoy a quick bite. We stood at what appeared to be the hostess stop. One bartender who was obviously busy because 2 gentleman were occupying him try to get their drinks from him because no one came to their table, as with us once he told us to sit anywhere. We were so grateful to be able to eat before our tee time and God is good because the food was top notch. Thank the Lord, we needed a positive.
The starter was the best(A gentleman from Milwaukee, Wisconsin) and real genuine. I tried to get a margarita for my wife and Trey did his best to accommodate and then a salty dog, but still no go at Vail Golf Club. The course after first tee was a complete o.k. but rough experience. I won't even imagine how I'd felt if I paid $109!!. The cart guys were most memorable positive, they really seemed genuine.
Great Mountain Golf
Beautiful views, wide fairways, interesting mix of terrain and tee to green distances. Small greens, and putting is challenging. Play in the morning before afternoon wind and storms roll in. Good pace of play - much better than before.
Reconstructed 18th hole open
Played on a GolfNow "hot deal", excellent value, at 2:30 pm, VERY windy, course not busy but the 2 of played alone and had to wait for a twosome ahead of us on several holes. Still we finished in just over 4 hr.
Beautiful scenery, tight fairways
Beautiful golf course,, with lush, tight fairways - add in the stunning views of the mountains, and the day was perfect.
course under repair
I will not recommend this course until repair is completed. Changed hole numbers. No hole 18.
Hole numbers do not reflect score card.
GREAT FOR FAMILY GOLF
PROBABLY MY BEST ROUND EVER PLAYING VGC OVER THE LAST 20+ YEARS...AND JOINED BY MY WIFE, SON AND DAUGHTER WHO ALSO PLAYED WELL...VGC IS STILL COMING OUT OF HIBERNATION BUT ALREADY IN GOOD SHAPE WITH GREAT GREENS
THE STAFF TAKES GREAT CARE OF YOU AND THE PRICE IS RIGHT - THANKS FOR A GREAT START TO OUR WEEK OF GOLF
Outstanding course fast greens
You almost forget you are playing golf, views are majestic! Great course, MUST PLAY!
Beautifuly landscaped and fun.
I really liked this course and it was in fantastic shape. It would be awesome if it wasn't so close to the highway but you can't have everything. With the price I paid for a tee time including a cart from Golfnow was incredible. I can't wait to play this course again.
Excellant course with challenging holes
Will play again if opportunity arises. Very friendly staff and course in great shape.
Vail Golf Club
The course is a very enjoyable layout and the condition of the course conditions were exceptional, especially given the amount of rainfall the area had recently received.
This course has beautiful scenery with an interesting layout.
This course offers a nice mix of holes with sand and water. Although not a real long course it has several dog-legs along with elevation changes. It offers some stunning scenery through a long stretch of the Vail valley. Always a fun and scenic course to enjoy.
A beautiful, awesome setting to play a beautiful, awesome game.
Played when US Pro Cycling Bicycle Tour was in town and had course all to myself...played in about 2 hours! I love mountain courses, this one is nice like Breckenridges' and almost as nice as Lake Tahoe's Edgewood Course. Best results were to throttle back to 3 wood on shorter par 4's to stay in play, else fairways were generous. Suggest you practice a pop-up shot from 5-15-25 yards out of the very grabby, thick grass protecting the green or you'll waste a lot of shots. Greens were true, course was in great shape and Golf Now had an amazing price including cart that was a fourth of the normal price for 18 holes in the afternoon. I will play this everytime I come back to the area, a no brainer. Enjoy!
Could have been better
Tee time was delayed due to frost in early am. Starters made no effort to make up time, paid no attention to getting groups ready to tee off as soon as the fairway was clear on No. 1. This made a big difference as many foursomes either didn't finish or finished in near dark.
Breathtaking scenery and a challenging course
Beautiful scenery . . . challenging course . . . friendly staff . . . and great value through Golfnow.com
A Beautiful Course
I love the course lay out. It's not too hard. the fairways were great. just an awesome experience on the course. well maintained. will be playing there again when i go back to Vail.
Very enjoyable course with the exception of the greens being a little too firm and very hard to read..
The fairways were in very good condition. The course is well maintained. The layout is very interesting and scenic. The greens were pretty firm with lots of subtle undulations and slope which made putting very difficult. The grass on the greens was extremely short which made the greens quite fast and difficult to putt.
Overall, a very nice course to play.
Good mountain valley course
Well maintained.. Friendly staff .... Good course layout... One of the better mountain /valley courses....greens are consistent .... Practice facility is good ...a must play !!!!
Perfect Vail Day
We parked out in the back 40 of the lot, but as soon as our trunk opened someone was there to take our bags to the cart. Check in was easy and fast so we had plenty of time to hit balls and putt before our round. Started right on time, and pace of play was great, right at 4 hours (on a Sunday) leaving plenty of time for a patio lunch. Cart girl was prompt and made good drinks too. Course marshals we very friendly and had trivia questions and prizes if you got them correct. ( I got them both wrong, but my wife got them both right) Course was in excellent condition and greens rolled true. Couldn't ask for more!
Fun course, challenging; in good shape for June
Vail Golf Club has done a remarkably good job of getting the course ready for play this early in the season at 9000+ feet. Winter in Colorado this year was harsh, in terms of lack of snow and extreme cold early followed by heavy snowfall late. Nonetheless, the greenskepers in Vail have the course ready for play.
The course provides a challenge for better players and yet is playable for people who shoot in the 90's. With five sets of tees, including the farthest forward for the disabled and young golfers, there is a tee for everyone.
The greens are currently in good shape; excellent for this time of year (mid-June) on a Colorado mountain course.
I highly recommend it as a good value for the money.
One of the best course i have ever played
every thing was great, the tees ,the fairways,greens were in super
condition,except one par 3,but that was being worked on and should be in service in a month or so.
