Rio Grande Club

The San Luis Valley's high desert winds and 7,500-foot elevation turn every approach shot into a calculated gamble, where a perfectly struck 7-iron can easily fly two clubs too far. This mountain layout threads between ancient cottonwoods along the Rio Grande, demanding precise course management as the river comes into play on seven holes, including a heart-stopping island green at the par-3 15th. The thin air may add 20 yards to your drives, but the unforgiving sage brush and strategically placed water hazards will humble any golfer who gets greedy with pin position.
