High-altitude golf in Colorado is an experience unlike anywhere else — the ball flies farther, the air is crisper, and the Rocky Mountain backdrop is simply unmatched. From Jack Nicklaus's Breckenridge municipal course at 9,300 feet to the elegance of Beaver Creek, Colorado's mountain corridors offer world-class golf paired with skiing, hiking, and some of the best resort towns in North America.
Best time to visit: June – September (summer); December – March (ski season)
