Ironbridge Golf Course
Located just north of Carbondale in the Ironbridge community is one of Golf Digest Magazine’s top rated courses in all of Colorado. All 7,224 yards of this 18-hole semi-private course was designed by Arthur Hills, and it’s awesome. You’ll experience a 495-foot gain in elevation from the pro shop to the tee on #12. Find yourself rolling along the Roaring Fork River – swaying with the tall grasses and waving Aspen trees.

River Valley Ranch Golf Course
Situated at the foot of Mt. Sopris, River Valley Ranch is a 520-acre residential golf and resort community nestled in the Crystal River Valley. The rolling valley floor and banks of the Crystal River unite to create a prime landscape from which to craft a magnificent mountain golf course. With the natural palette of the valley's riparian corridors, wetlands, grasses, and rolling topography, RVR was heralded as "the new jewel of the Rockies " by Golf Magazine. This Jay Morrish-designed championship course is cradled in the Crystal River Valley and includes four holes along the banks of the Crystal River, including the course's famous #7. The award-winning design also features striking bunkers, large greens, elevation changes, and water features created to take full advantage of the breath-taking mountain and Crystal River Valley views. There is a driving range, putting and chipping green, practice green, and pro shop. RVR is built on what was once a working ranch, amidst pinion trees and sagebrush, with Mt. Sopris breathing down the neck of every shot. Click here for live web camera images.
