As we enter the final month of the year, we turn our spotlight to RainDance National Resort in Windsor, CO, a breathtaking venue that blends world-class golf with exhilarating outdoor activities. Known for its stunning design, unmatched playability, and all-season entertainment, RainDance offers a truly unique experience for golfers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
RainDance National is much more than just a golf course—it’s an 18-hole masterpiece. Designed by PGA Tour Champion Fred Funk, this course takes full advantage of the dramatic landscape of Colorado’s Front Range. With 250 feet of elevation changes and striking views of the surrounding plains and mountain ranges, RainDance delivers an extraordinary blend of beauty and challenge.
Voted as one of the "Top 10 New Global Courses of 2022" by Kingdom Magazine, RainDance National is one of the longest courses in North America, spanning 8,463 yards from the back tees. But don’t let the length intimidate you—multiple sets of tees make this course enjoyable for all skill levels, whether you're a seasoned golfer or new to the game.
This year, RainDance hosted a CGA Member Play Day and the prestigious 55th CGA Senior Match Play Championship, affirming its status as one of the premier golf destinations in Colorado. The course is designed with versatility in mind, allowing both competitive and recreational golfers to enjoy a top-tier experience.
The links-style layout features wide fairways, rolling plains, and steep canyons, all of which provide endless visual stimulation and strategic choices. Players will find risk-reward opportunities on almost every hole, creating an exciting and dynamic round.
But RainDance National is more than just a golf course—it transforms into a winter wonderland during the colder months. Welcome to Hoedown Hill, home to North America’s longest tubing hill! Whether you're zooming down the snowy slopes on a tube or testing your skills at one of the terrain parks, RainDance delivers family fun for all ages.
Hoedown Hill also features skiing and snowboarding areas, perfect for beginners or those looking to practice their turns and tricks. With a focus on fun, Hoedown Hill ensures a wild ride that keeps visitors coming back year after year.
RainDance Resort offers something for every type of outdoor enthusiast. Golfers can practice their short game at the Goat Ranch chipping and putting area, while the whole family can enjoy sledding on the Snow Bunny Hills during the winter. If the weather turns foul, you can continue your round indoors with RainDance's state-of-the-art golf simulator.
Visitors can also indulge in fine dining at the on-site restaurant or pick up some new gear at the retail store inside the clubhouse.
Before the future clubhouse is built, guests can grab a delicious bite at the RainDance Roadhouse, affectionately known as the “Hambulance.” This popular food truck serves up crowd favorites like Hambonis, smoked BBQ tri-tip, and fresh salads, providing the perfect pit stop after an action-packed day of golf or winter sports.
RainDance National Resort continues to establish itself as a premier destination, and the CGA is thrilled to have partnered with the resort for Member Play Days and championship events this year. We look forward to continuing to bring competitive and recreational golf events to this magnificent venue in the future.
For those looking for an unrivaled experience, whether on the golf course or the tubing hill, RainDance National Resort is the place to be.
