Rollingstone Ranch Golf Club sits in the beautiful northern Colorado town of Steamboat Springs. Nestled along the flanks of Mt. Werner, it features stunning views of the Flat Top Mountains, tumbling streams and dramatic tee shots. A Robert Trent Jones II designed golf course that opened for 18-hole play in the summer of 1974, this championship-caliber course provides the player with panoramic views, spectacular bentgrass/Poa annua greens and manicured bluegrass/ryegrass fairways and roughs. Sixty-six fairway and greenside sand bunkers protect the large, undulating greens while water hazards and elevation changes will test even the best shot maker. Scenic Fish Creek weaves in and out while fairways are framed by aged aspen and evergreen trees. Enhancing this unique pristine setting is the wildlife. Players often see moose, elk, eagles, and maybe even a bear. The wildlife scenery is second to none. This magnificent mountain design will test the best players while still providing comfortable playing characteristics to be enjoyed by golfers of all skill levels.

Peak season greens fees are $245 and will most likely be lower in September.

The course is one of the most enjoyable walking courses one can find in the Rockies. A 9 hole round at Steamboat Golf Club can usually be completed within 2 hours.

Greens fees $25 – 40
