Named a top ten public golf course in Colorado by Golf Week Magazine, River Valley Ranch in Carbondale, offers incredible mountain views and championship conditions. A golf hall-of-famer, Morrish’s design work honors the traditions of the game and includes such properties as TPC Scottsdale, Castle Pines, The Boulders in Arizona, Scotland’s Lock Lomond, and Glen Abbey in Ontario, Canada to name a few.
At 7,328 yards, this par 72, 18-hole championship public golf course, is located half-way between Aspen and Glenwood Springs. Expansive mountain views and the pristine waters of the Crystal River, flank four unique holes of play on a course set in perfect harmony with the vast natural river valley. 12,965 ft Mount Sopris rises high above the valley floor offering breathtaking views from every hole.
The design of River Valley Ranch offers a fair challenge to golfers of all abilities. There are no gimmicks, the course is right in front of you. The clever layout uses the natural undulations of the valley terrain including challenging river carries, such as the notorious first tee and tempting, drivable holes. River Valley Ranch is a formidable challenge, and is a favorite stop on the CGA Championship schedule for Colorado’s top amateurs. This year, River Vally Ranch will host the 54th CGA Senior Amateur Championship in August.
River Valley Ranch also features a full practice area and driving range, and after your round, you won’t want to miss the Homestead’s incredible patio and award winning food.
