It will be great!

Played this course early in the year, so had to deal with green aerations. They are replacing the grass on 7 greens this year, so there were temporary greens in the fairway. They weren't much more than shorter fairway grass so it was hard to put.. Despite all of this, we had a lot of fun and enjoyed the challenge of the holes. Very beautiful and picturesque! We took several group shots. The food is a little overpriced. A turkey sandwich, chips and a gatorade was $18.

A nice course with one thing going for it

There are limited choices in the high Rockies and a short playing season because of weather. This drives up the cost to play but the scenery alone almost makes up for it. Vail has a great valley that looks over the Gore Range and the course takes advantage of this feature. However the flat topography limits the creativity of the design and it is not quite as interesting as some of the other courses. Most of the holes just do not have a lot of character or flair. The conditions were very good all around, including a good practice area. For the most part it has one thing going for it, it’s in “Vail”.

Too much rough.

the rough was with in 4 feet of the edge of the green on almost every hole. Way to much rough for a public course.

Course conditions not that good

Course conditions are not worth the green fees. With more watering the course should be in good condition after the 2nd week of July. But at this time the course value or price for playing should only be 65 for a round of golf to include cart
