We vacationed right before the course opened for the season, but the area was terrific to drive through. No need to spend the $150 or so to play there to appreciate the sights. Got to see numerous elk eating the spring grass along the side of the course that evening--an added treat.

Great day beautiful course. Didn't golf well at all but it didn't matter when you are in such a scenic place. I will do it again that's for sure. Nice cart girls serving drinks as well

I have been at this Golf Course a few times in the past and it is very nice and situated in a very nice area with awesome moutains view. Once in a while one can come across wild life here too.
