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.

Good but painfully slow.

Started at 2:45pm and finished at 7:45pm. Starting the back nine the starters or pro shop let a single player jump in in front if us and that person played 2 balls for over half of the back nine. Pace if play was dreadful. That was only major issue with course.

Very good

Fantastic conditions and staff were super friendly. Greens were true and fairly quick.

Course layout is challenged by the space they were able to use when building it but still good.

Pace of play was spot on and the place clocks all over the course so when you come to one you should see your starting time. I’ve never seen that on a golf course before.

Biggest drawback for me was how close it is to the freeway and the non stop noise of cars and trucks.

Vacation Round in Vail

Vail GC is a nice course in Vail, CO. Staff and course itself was great. They were very busy and our playing partners had no courtesy. they were better players and told us after 4 holes they did not want to play with us. The staff work out so we could get in 18 holes and another gentleman joined us for the back 9 and we had a good day!!

Vail

Course in great shape & fun to play.

Single golfers were paired up with other singles in carts and not allowed to ride single, although this was not advertised.

Our foursome finished in 4 hrs 15 minutes but got blasted by a ranger on back nine for slow play & holding up twosome behind us. Unreal !!
