Disappointed

The course has a beautiful setting & when we played it a couple of years ago it was in good shape. Unfortunately it isn’t at the moment. The greens are patchy & extremely slow & bumpy. There is very little fringe around the greens & the fairways need a cut. It’s a shame that the upkeep has deteriorated so much.

Nice Course, But Can Be Pricey

It is a nice course, but not nearly as dramatic as a lot of courses in the mountains that have major elevation changes . It is pretty flat. Pretty well groomed, with lots of trees. Would be overpriced at the top rates, but I got it cheap.

Vail Golf Club

This course is in a beautiful spot with stunning Mountain View’s all day. The two temporary greens were disappointing. Obviously there are some issues with several greens as patches of new sod have been put in. Some of the greens were really slow- probably an attempt to get the grass to grow. Other than that problem the course was fun to play.
