Grand Elk Ranch and Club

The Grand Elk Golf Course, Colorado’s first Heathland-style course, was designed by championship golfer Craig Stadler, known affectionately to the sport as The Walrus, and premier course architect Tripp Davis.

A par 71 masterwork playing 7,144 yards from the back tees, the landscape echoes the attributes of many traditional Heathland courses. It features an environmentally conscious design characterized by open, gently rolling land dotted by shrubs and grassland. Designed to work within the existing topography and to minimize disturbance to the land, the layout preserves adjacent wetlands and the natural course of Ten Mile Creek that meanders along the fairways.

At Grand Elk, greens will vary in size and pitch, and the course tends to give the visual impression that a shot will be challenging. But this is more of a perception than a reality and makes for exciting play.

With the Continental Divide as the backdrop, the Grand Elk Golf Course is challenging to the low handicapper while providing high scorers with a memorable game.
