Summer comes and goes fast...it’s time to get into the swing of things! Golf is always a favorite activity to kick off the summer season in Steamboat.
And did you know that the high altitude of the Rocky Mountains makes golf balls fly 10% farther? While it sounds like inflated folklore, the aerodynamic researchers at Titleist concur. With a driver, you get an extra 2.5 yards per 1,000 feet of altitude. At a base elevation of 6700’ your game can certainly go the distance! Fortunately, the extra boost only kicks in for long drives, meaning your short game doesn’t require any adjustments.
While there’s no shortage of fantastic courses in Steamboat Springs, here are a few of our favorites...
Top Golf Courses in Steamboat Springs
Rollingstone Ranch Golf Course
Rollingstone Ranch Golf Club is a spectacular 18-hole course, designed by Robert Trent Jones II, featuring incredible views of the Yampa Valley, while Fish Creek winds its way through seven of the holes. The 66 bunkers and large, undulating bent grass greens make this a truly championship-caliber course to be enjoyed by players of all skill levels. For these reasons, Rollingstone Ranch Golf Club has received multiple awards including four-star ratings and "Best Places to Play in Colorado" from Golf Digest.
Haymaker Golf Course
Haymaker Championship Golf Course is a links-style course with native grasses and wetlands to enhance its wide-open fairways. With snow-capped Mount Werner framing many holes and the awe-inspiring Flat Top Mountain Range as a picturesque backdrop, it is a beautiful place for a round of 18. Created out of vast ranch-land and rock piles, this Keith Foster design is home to where many elk, eagles, and blue herons roam.
