Named a 2022 Top Ten public golf course in Colorado, by Golf Week Magazine, this picturesque course at River Valley Ranch was designed by Colorado native and golf hall of famer, Jay Morrish. An award-winning, 7328 yard, par 72, 18 hole championship public golf course, it is located in Carbondale, Colorado, half way between Aspen and Glenwood Springs. Expansive mountain views and the pristine waters of the Crystal River, flank four unique holes of play on a course set in perfect harmony with the vast natural river valley. 12,965 ft Mount Sopris rises high above the valley floor offering breathtaking views from every hole.
