We play Yampa Valley several times a year - last year it was almost unplayable but it has improved immensely this year! There are still a few rough patches & the course is very wet in several places but overall the course is FAR better than last year - looking forward to next year!! One thing that should be done to enhance the experience is level ALL the tee boxes.

Play this course several times a year & enjoy it very much but last year the course was in AWFUL shape due to personnel issues at the end of 2018. However, the pro, Scott Ballif & his greens staff have done near miracles, given the shape of the course last year! For the most part, the fairways are in good conditions & the greens, with a couple of exceptions, are nearly back to 2016-17 conditions, albeit a bit slow. It will take time for the course to come back completely but I have no reservations recommending Yampa Valley for a FUN round!

Last minute decision to play - got on at about 12:30/finished 4:00! Course is in excellent condition, given our lack of rain, but a couple of the greens are still crusty & can use a bit of TLC. Staff, as always, was super friendly. Recommend bringing bug spray if no breeze - mosquitoes are HUNGRY!! GREAT course, value & hard to find a friendlier staff! If you're visiting Steamboat, there is NO question that it's worth the 45 minute drive.

My wife & I played June 27 about 1:30 (92°) so not very crowded. Pace of play was excellent 3.5 hour round. Course was in excellent condition, with exception of 2 greens being a bit crusty. Overall a VERY enjoyable day of golf!! Also saw 2 bald eagles, one flying overhead & other in nest near river on 15 fairway.

Course allows all levels to enjoy their round - challenges w/o gimmicks. Staff is very friendly & helpful.

Course was in great condition but weather didn't cooperate - tough course in 20-30 mph winds!
