GRANBY, Colo. -- Designed by Craig Stadler and Tripp Davis, Grand Elk Golf Club is a par 71, 7,144-yard course that ranks no. 2 in the state of Colorado Golf Advisor's 2016 rankings.
Sits at almost 8,000 feet of elevation, the course is routed in and around federally protected wetlands that are habitat to hundreds of birds, the course provides plenty of mountain backdrops and amazing views of the Continental Divide. The back nine is more difficult than the front nine.
The course record is 63 by Stadler's son, former PGA Tour player Kevin Stadler.
