Eagle Vail is one of the lower priced alternatives in the Vail Valley. The course plays to just 6,590 yards, 131 slope, and has major elevation change through the layout with great views of the Eagle River. The course was designed by Devlin/Von Hagge and is a hilly, parkland style of course with elevated tees and greens. The front nine is mostly flat along the valley floor, playing over the Eagle River a couple of times, while the back nine runs up into the hills through aspen, lodge pole pine, and fir tree lined fairways. A couple of the holes are tricked up, maybe a little quirky, but overall a nice experience for the money.

The course is very fair and not too difficult if you are hitting them good. Easy access from Interstate Hwy. 70 (if mountains appeal to you, the prettiest freeway in the country) is included. I've entered it on the list mostly for the scenery factor. It's in very good condition during a short season and not too tough except for a few "tree-tunnel" holes.
