Golfing in Glenwood Springs
In Glenwood Springs, spectacular mountain scenery is as much a draw as the championship fairways. Swing into action on two hometown golf courses with more playing options on another five nearby!
Great Scot!
A stroke of genius. Though the Dutch had a version of the stick and ball game as early as the 1200s, it was the Scots that fine-tuned the sport into the version recognized today. This fact is a national point of pride for highlanders. It wasn’t always played on an 18-hole course though; St. Andrews Links is one of Scotland’s “ancient” courses that features just 11 holes. By the 19th Century, the game had spread across the United Kingdom and was exported throughout the British Empire, arriving on the shores of the U.S. as well. It is estimated there are approximately 15,000 golf courses in the nation today.
Lessons of the Game
“Success in golf depends less on strength of body and more on strength of mind and character,”
Glenwood Springs Area Golf Courses
The hot springs town is home to two courses. Enthusiasts flock to the fairways as soon as the snow recedes in spring and play until the first flakes fall in winter. Throughout the season, courses provide an array of interesting terrain and scenic backdrops.
If golf is your game, take it up a notch in Glenwood Springs. While improving is a worthy goal, remember to always have fun. If you need advice, Arnold Palmer also has some, “I have a tip that can take five strokes off anyone’s golf game. It’s called an eraser.” Along with a positive attitude, bring your sense of humor on your next golf outing.
