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.

This course has the best scenery.

Long straight drives that favor a slight slice.

Beautiful course and the staff were extremely friendly.

This course is a well designed tract that is kept in very good condition. I shared the afternoon with 3-strangers and finished our round as friends. The greens were immaculate and tricky. The fairways were generous and the conditions and scenery were awesome. I’m definitely planning on returning to play golf here again.

Vaill Golf Course

Played this course 15 years ago and again 10 years ago. This time the course was lush and in great shape once again. Pace of play was a bit slow and could have.been managed better. Overall, this course is not a typical muni. Very well conditioned. Worth playing for sure.
