Beaver Creek at Beaver Creek Golf Club

Beaver Creek Golf Club sits at approximately 7,200 feet elevation in the Vail Valley, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and opened in 1982 as part of the Beaver Creek Resort development. The course occupies rolling terrain along Beaver Creek itself, with the routing working through stands of aspen, spruce, and pine against the backdrop of the Gore Range. Jones incorporated the natural elevation changes and creek corridors into a layout that requires both strategic thinking and adjustment for the high-altitude conditions that affect ball flight.

The design reflects Jones's characteristic emphasis on large, contoured greens and strategic bunkering, with water coming into play on several holes where Beaver Creek meanders through the property. The mountain setting provides dramatic scenery throughout the round, though the course itself focuses on playability for resort guests and members rather than championship length or severe difficulty. The layout takes advantage of natural clearings and meadows, with several holes offering open views across the valley.

Beaver Creek Golf Club operates as part of the broader Beaver Creek Resort community, serving both resort guests and club members. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that integrates with the resort's amenities. The course typically opens from late spring through mid-autumn, with the season dictated by mountain weather patterns and snowfall at elevation.
