Frequently Asked Questions
How does the high altitude at Devil's Thumb affect my golf game?
You'll definitely notice the ball flies further here, often 10-15% more than at sea level. We recommend taking one less club than usual, especially on your irons, and watching how your putts break on these fast, mountain greens.
When is the best time to play Devil's Thumb for ideal conditions and views?
We always suggest late summer or early fall-think late August through September. The weather is usually perfect, and the changing aspens against the rugged peaks create an absolutely stunning backdrop you won't forget.
Is Devil's Thumb a particularly challenging course, and what makes its layout unique?
It's a fair challenge, but not overly punishing if you play smart. The course truly shines with its dramatic elevation changes and strategic bunkering that demands thoughtful shot placement, especially on the back nine where the views open up.
What's the post-round experience like at Devil's Thumb, and are there good dining options nearby?
After your round, head to the clubhouse patio for a well-deserved drink; the views are incredible. For dinner, we highly recommend checking out the Ranch House Restaurant just a short drive away for some fantastic local cuisine.
What should I expect regarding the cost and overall value of playing Devil's Thumb?
While green fees are on the higher side, you're paying for a premium mountain golf experience with immaculate conditions and unforgettable scenery. We consider it a splurge that's absolutely worth it for the unique setting and top-tier service.
