River Valley Ranch Golf Course

Played River Valley Ranch and it’s easy to see why it lands on “best public courses in Colorado” lists. Mt. Sopris looms over the whole round like it’s supervising, and the Crystal River winds through enough holes to keep you honest. The greens are fast and true, fairways in great shape, and the range beforehand was a nice way to warm up. The bunkers, though, are a different story. Deep, sure, but the sand has a mind of its own, hard and unpredictable in a way that turns “I’m in a bunker” into a small ongoing negotiation with physics. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout. Elevation changes keep every hole feeling different, which is a nice break from flatter courses. Bottom line: a beautiful, well-conditioned mountain course, just bring your sand game and maybe a small prayer for the bunkers.

AMAZING course! The Vandykes are the best people, and if you are looking for a course where you can use your driver often this is it! My new favorite golf spot!

This is what high quality looks like. The humans, the location, the experience, the food, the sights, the smells and the sounds were ALL anyone could ever ask for. Steve, Jen and their team are unmatched. Come here to play golf, eat delicious food, and feel welcome. 10/10

We had such a wonderful lunch at RVR, and the unexpected surprise of “crashing” a very special 75th birthday celebration for a local resident. The views - absolutely stunning, food was delicious, Joe was a wonderful server and we enjoyed chatting with the Pro Shop Team. Thank you Golf at River Valley Ranch for a memorable day! We look forward to visiting again next summer! Karen Partnerships & Experiences Elite Events

Favorite happy hour location in the valley! The view can't be beat, the food is really good and the wait staff is friendly and efficient. I haven't golfed here, just enjoy a cold beer, good food, and and the great view of Mt Sopris.
