Frequently Asked Questions

Is a golf trip to Las Animas County worth it, considering there's only one course?

We think it absolutely is, especially if you're seeking a tranquil escape from crowded resort courses. This isn't about ticking off multiple rounds; it's about savoring a unique, unhurried golf experience that feels truly off the beaten path. You'll find it's a refreshing change of pace.

What's the best time of year to plan a golf trip to Las Animas County?

For ideal playing conditions, we recommend aiming for late spring (May-June) or early fall (September-October). The summer months can get quite warm, and while the course is open, you'll appreciate the milder temperatures and stunning high desert scenery during the shoulder seasons. Plus, the fall colors are truly something special.

What makes the golf course in Las Animas County unique, and what should I expect?

This course offers a distinct high-desert links feel, with wide-open vistas and natural arroyos that come into play. You'll find generous fairways but challenging greens, often with subtle breaks that demand a keen eye. It's a course that rewards strategic thinking over brute force, and the quiet atmosphere lets you truly focus on your game.

Are there any non-golf activities or attractions we should check out in Las Animas County?

Absolutely! After your round, we suggest exploring the historic town of Trinidad, which boasts beautiful Victorian architecture and a fascinating past. You can also venture into the nearby Canyons of the Ancients National Monument for some incredible hiking and ancient Puebloan ruins. It's a great way to experience the region's rich history and natural beauty.

What's the typical cost for a round of golf in Las Animas County, and is it easy to get a tee time?

You'll find the green fees here are quite reasonable, offering excellent value compared to more commercial destinations. Expect to pay around $50-70 for 18 holes, including a cart. Since it's the only course in the county, we still recommend booking your tee time a few days in advance, especially on weekends, but you'll rarely encounter the long waits you might find elsewhere.
