Overview

The topography of Summit County created a unique challenge for golf course designers. Tight fairways are the result of limited land within the valley hills, and water features usually emphasize the beauty of Colorado's rivers and creeks. 

The thin, high mountain air will send your golf ball soaring farther than you thought possible. However, this extra distance can be either a curse or a blessing, depending on the accuracy of your game.
