Vail Golf Club is the golf course you notice on the south side of I-70 as you're coming into the Vail Valley from Denver. It's a fairly flat course at the base of the Gore Mountain Range, at an elevation of 8,200 feet surrounded by beautiful scenery. Fairly mundane golf course, straightforward, if you took it out of its setting, not sure it would be anything special. It was designed by Ben Krueger in the 1960's, classic traditional style of course with tree lined fairways, well bunkered greens, with streams and ponds to contend with around the layout. From the tips the course plays to 7,024 yards, par 71, 70.8 course rating, and a 121 slope. It's owned and operated by the Vail Parks and Rec, and is one of the more reasonably priced golf courses in the entire area. Well maintained, lots of slow tourists in the summer, beautiful to play in the early Fall.

The course is absolutely immaculate and every lie on the fairway is perfect,but you must be straight because the numerous bunkers will penalise any wayward shot severely.The weather was glorious 75 degrees,sunny and no wind which is unusual this time of year. apparently There are many memorable holes on this great course and the last two are a real test. Would strongly recommend playing this wonderful golf course if you ever get the chance to be in the Vail Valley. i cannot wait to go back next year.This is golf how it really should be!
