This par 71 6,739 yard, 18 hole, mountain resort course is surrounded by the highest concentration of 14,000 foot mountains in the United States.

New golf carts, equipped with state-of-the-art Global Positioning System (GPS), assist golfer as they navigate their way around the course, which accentuates the mountain terrain as meandering fairways wind through aspen groves, towering pines, mountain ponds and sparkling streams.
