Beaver Creek Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play Beaver Creek Golf Course for ideal conditions?

We highly recommend visiting from late June through early September. The course is in peak condition, and the mountain wildflowers are usually in full bloom, adding an extra layer of beauty to your round. You'll avoid the early season chill and the late fall frost.

What's the most unique challenge golfers face at Beaver Creek?

Without a doubt, it's managing the dramatic elevation changes and side-hill lies. Many holes play significantly uphill or downhill, demanding precise club selection and a solid stance. Don't be surprised if your ball takes an unexpected bounce on these mountain slopes.

Is playing Beaver Creek worth the higher greens fees, and what should I expect to pay?

Absolutely, it's a splurge that delivers. You're paying for a meticulously maintained course with breathtaking mountain views and an exceptional resort experience. Expect greens fees to be in the $200-$300 range during peak season, but the memories of those pristine fairways and stunning vistas are priceless.

Which hole at Beaver Creek offers the most unforgettable experience?

For us, the par-3 13th hole stands out as truly iconic. You're hitting from an elevated tee box down to a green framed by towering pines and a rushing creek, with Beaver Creek Mountain as your backdrop. It's a postcard moment that demands a precise shot.

How does the high altitude at Beaver Creek impact my golf game, and what practical advice do you have?

The thin mountain air means your ball will fly further-typically 5-10% more than at sea level. We advise taking one less club on most shots, especially downhill, and staying well-hydrated throughout your round. Don't forget to account for the extra roll on those firm fairways.
