Eagle Ranch Golf Club is located in the beautiful small town of Eagle, Colorado, just 30 minutes from Vail. The majestic Colorado Rocky Mountains provide a spectacular setting for the Arnold Palmer Signature Design Course. The course opened in 2001 as part of a new, master-planned residential community called Eagle Ranch. Prior to the golf course and surrounding real estate development, the land was a working ranch. Several of the antique ranch implements are laid out around the course as a reminder of the property’s history.With the addition of the golf course and other fantastic amenities such as an outdoor pool, ice rink, recreation trails and fitness center, Eagle is an idyllic place to live and play.
Thanks to the efforts of Golf Course Superintendent Derek Rose, and others, the course is certified as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. We’ve been designated a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary since 2002 – one of 773 courses in the world with that designation.
The practice facility has plenty of room to work on all aspects of your game, including five target greens on the range, a chipping green and two putting greens. The Grille has a delicious lunch menu with indoor and outdoor seating to enjoy the views of the surrounding mountains. It’s also a wonderful setting to host a special event or tournament and groups of all sizes can be accommodated.
The Eagle Vail Golf Club is one of the Vail Valley's favorite golf courses with expansive views of the Gore Range and surrounding peaks of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Nestled only five minutes from each of world class, internationally known Vail and Beaver Creek resorts, Eagle Vail offers 18 holes of pristine challenging golf for people of all ages.
In early 2015, EagleVail won national recognition as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary from Audubon International, a two year intensive process requiring demonstration of a high degree of environmental quality in seven specific areas.
EagleVail's golf course was created in the 1970s by the Devlin/Von Hagge design team to provide a true mountain golf experience. Both the 18 hole and Par 3 courses are integrated with rivers, streams, ponds, wetlands, forests, and gardens. EagleVail's stunning mountain setting with its varying microclimates and multi-faceted terrain is one of the Colorado's most unique golf courses.
