Golf
The Vail Valley is where the game of golf can be played in astounding natural beauty. Here, hospitality, impeccably manicured greens, spectacular backdrops and a love of the game come together to bring you a golf experience unlike any other.
Vail Golf Club (Public), East Vail
Highlighted by views of the Gore Mountain Range, Vail’s mountain-style, 18-hole course features unique fairways, smooth putting surfaces and a scenic layout amidst the White River National Forest.
The fairways are tree-lined and generally flat, but numerous greenside and fairway bunkers, as well as beaver ponds, will test a golfer’s accuracy. Vail’s course features 7,024 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71.
A course rating of 71.4/132 from the back tees and 60.2/103 from the forward tees make it a truly spectacular experience for golfers of all skill levels. Recognized by Golf Digest as a “Top 100 Resort Course,” golfers enjoy watching their balls fly 10 percent farther in Vail’s high altitude environment, while they challenge themselves on greens that follow the scenic Gore Creek.
Designed and built by one of Vail’s pioneers, Ben Krueger, in 1962, Vail’s course continues to be thought of by many as one of the best courses in the Vail Valley — a must-play among locals and guests alike. Once the golf course is blanketed with snow, it serves as Vail’s Nordic Center during the winter months, offering 17 kilometers of groomed ski track and 10 kilometers of separate snowshoe trails.

Eagle-Vail Golf Club (Public), Located between Vail and Beaver Creek
The elevation changes on the magnificent EagleVail layout will have you talking about your shots long after you hole-out on #18. (Golf View, July 2007)
Created by the Devlin/Von Hagge design team, EagleVail Golf club is full of elevation change and unique play. Elevated tees guarantee gravity-defying drives in the rarefied air, and, at 6836 yards, beginners won’t be intimidated and experienced golfers will be well-challenged.
The front nine meanders through the valley floor, crossing the scenic Eagle River several times. After this pleasant warm-up, you are ready for the thrilling back nine that winds up the mountain-side through aspen, lodgepole pine and fir – the only excusable distraction from your golf game comes from the stunning setting.
The EagleVail Golf Club inhabits former verdant ranch and farm lands. Built in the early 1930’s, the red barn near Hole #2 green served as feed and tack storage, a testament to the valley’s agricultural heritage.
