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.

Disappointing

Greens in less than satisfactory condition. Roughs are rediculousy high and need to be lowered. Ladies t boxes too close to senior t boxes, making course too long for average women. Temporary green on # 12 should be closer to green under repair, so this par 5 would play near normal.

Temp greens ruined the round

5 temp greens were a huge disappointment. Closed greens were fine. No explanation why they were closed.

Course under repair, and slow play

There are several greens under replacement with temporary greens and one hole closed. The pace of play was slow and the course Marshall’s could not increase the slow groups pace. Since on time overall, although back nine was 25 min longer than par!, he felt he was not able to do anything. Always two groups waiting to tee off from 11 til the end. The rough was VERY deep and especially around greens. Looks like it hasn’t been mowed in days. Greens were slow but expected at this time of year. Layout on front nine is a bit boring but course is fun.

Excellent course, great staff, and great restaurant

The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The course is one of the most challenging and unique in the valley. Short, but you need to hit the fairway because the mature trees will make life difficult if you're playing from the rough. Great restaurant for lunch as well.

Beautiful course. Improving par 3, but accommodated the skipped hole with a temporary par 3. Staff is wonderful and the food in the restaurant was fabulous!

Nice driving range and putting green.

Great day and course

Just an excellent experience. Kudos to Deacon who shared the back 9 with me. He’s a Ranger for the course who had the day off and rep’d the club well. Great staff and accommodations.
