Eagle Vail Golf Club

This is my golf club because it out-​shines all others in the mountains, around the state and around the country for overall value, really nice staff (all of them), the scenery, great course conditions, the Eagle River, Stone Creek, tall pines, colorful aspens, GPS Carts, good food, terrific driving range, separate chipping and putting greens and the fantastic views from so many elevated tees. It’s just great fun to entertain friends and family every time.
Don’t be fooled, this is no easy, dull, boring «Links» course, it’s a challenge and that’s part of the beauty and character of the course.
Before or after your round, try the food and grab a beer at their Whiskey Hill Golf Grill while taking in sporting events on a half dozen HDTV’s. It’s really good. Breakfast burritos and Bloody Mary’s to go in the morning are extra bonuses for us on the run.

Made a mid morning tee time online which saved me around 25%. During August it’s peak season so golf in Colorado is pricy.
We teed off early by half an hour and we didn’t have to play with another twosome which was great. The course itself was beautiful. There were many elevation changes, the greens and fairways were in great shape and there were natural steams that ran thru parts of the course. There’s a snack bar at the turn that serves a great sausage sammie too.
I’m glad we teed off early due to the weather changed in the afternoon and it rained hard on the 17^th hole and missed the eightieth hole.
The entire staff here was friendly and accomadating so if you’re in the area, I would highly recommend playing this course which is a great value for the quality of play received.

I was in Vail on a recent vacation and played here at the last minute. This is a really nice course at a really good rate for the area. The course was in excellent shape. The faiways and greens were well maintained, rolled true, and had no brown or discolored grass. The back nine was very scenic as it wound up into the mountains and offered a great change of elevated tees and use of the creeks and water features around the greens. The pace of play was great at 4.5 hours and we never had to wait at any hole. I would defintely play this course again next time I am in the Vail area.

Great place

I really like this course. We play it every year during our time up here over the 4^th of July weekend.
It is less expensive after 3:30 for twilight rates. They have done some improvements to the course to facilitate pace of play. Unfortunately they are taking out a par 3 hole that I really like that runs along the Eagle river.
For the price, the beauty and the thrill of the course it really is the best value in the valley.

Really interesting layout with a lot of vertical variation. It kicked my group’s butts though. Tough rounds. Went there last year and decided to come again. Definitely worth the money.

Been back many times and am excited for more rounds this summer! Greens seemed to get better as the season went by last year, hope the same trend continues!

Love it, Love it!
Played Eagle Vail with a co-​work/​friend of mine in late May and the course was in perfect shape. They had just opened 16, 17 and 18, which in my opinion are the best holes on the course.
Our day started out rough with a harsh rain storm hitting us dead in the face on #1, however after three holes the rains let up for a great day.
If you’re a 10 plus handicap, bring lots of balls. I lost two sleeves this round, but ended the day with a 96 so I wasn’t too far off for an 18 handicapper.
The if you tend to slice or pull to one side or the other too often you may want to take it easy as some of the holes run parallel to very busy roads. We decided to take it easy on these holes… play a bit conservative and catch the beverage cart, which we saw about every hour. Friendly staff and and the cart was always loaded with your choice of drink or snack.
TIP: Try the cookies at the snack shack just before the tee at hole #11.
All in all a great day, a beautiful course and be sure to get on their email list. They normally send coupons and special updates every week or so and be sure to try and sneak out for a mid-​week round if possible. The rates for this gorgeous course won’t last long.

Wow. Just freakin’ wow. This is unbelievable. This is one of the cheapest of the 20+ courses currently in the Vail valley, and it’s absolutely breathtaking. Peak Season, Peak Tee Time is still only $ 98 including a mandatory riding cart. You start the round by bombing your tee shot off a massively elevated tee box next to the clubhouse onto an expansive fairway.
I can’t say it enough, this place is beautiful. There are lakes, rivers, streams, forests, wildlife, views, etc., etc., etc. The great thing is, it’s not terribly expensive and they seem to tolerate higher handicap golfers. A few holes are RIGHT next to major roadways. If you are unsure of your game, it would be a REALLY good idea to hit a short iron off the tee or even just walk up and place your shot in the fairway. Unless of course, you’re fond of smashing windshields on cars traveling on the freeway at 70 mph.
The course winds its way all through the mountainous terrain finishing on a 200-​foot elevated tee box on the 18^th where I’m proud to say I hit my first 300+ yard drive in my life. (Mind you, between the elevated tee box and the thin air at altitude the same drive in San Francisco would not have made it to the 260-​yard mark.) There are great services on the course including a complete snack shack at the 11^th tee with a full menu and magical cart girls who somehow cover the entire course every 90 minutes.
One bit of advice: STAY IN THE FAIRWAY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! This course rates a fairly simple 70.6÷127 from the tips. HOWEVER, if you hit it even 2 inches off the fairway it becomes a 98.5/Infinity. I swear I lost two dozen balls, but found just as many. Take it easy, back off the bomber shots and keep it in the short stuff. I’m not the greatest of golfers (15.6 index) but I ended up shooting a 112, including 18 penalty strokes for lost balls.
If you have a significant other who does not golf, bring them anyway and let them drive the cart. They have a riding-​only fare, and this is such a beautiful place, it’s an enjoyable outing even if only one of you golfs.
BTW, kudos to an incredibly helpful and friendly staff. They don’t have that fake «Yes, sir» country club attitude, (which I’m not knocking, by the way) but a genuine interest in how you’re doing and whether you’re having a good time.
The bad news is, I heard a rumor they may close the course and develop it. That would be a crime.
