While the recent rain and then warm, sunny days have put the rivers too high for rafting, the local weather has made the Vail Valley golf courses green, lush, and in perfect condition!

Now is the perfect time to enjoy one of the Vail Valley's best summer activities: golf. The warm, dry climate provides great weather conditions for hitting the course while the high altitude makes your ball go even farther!

I've had the pleasure of golfing 7 rounds already this year, and all of the courses are in great shape. Most courses are still offering amazing early season specials from deals on rounds to discounted lessons.

Eagle Ranch Golf Club had the opporunity to open earlier than most courses due to its down-valley location and it shows! The course is in great condition! Guests can enjoy amazing views, weather, deals, and even carts with GPS!

Vail Golf Course is also in great shape and offers a wide variety of play options from walking 9 to playing 18 with a cart. The views from the Vail Golf Course (and the prices) are some of the best for a Colorado public golf course.

With lots to do in the Vail Valley, golf is the perfect early-season activity. Enjoy uncrowded, well-maintained courses with unprecedeted views. While golf can be enjoyed all summer long, get the best rates on rounds and lessons now!
