DOS RIOS COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Gunnison, CO, USA
Designed by John Cochran
Dos Rios Country Club sits in the Gunnison Valley of central Colorado, where the town of Gunnison serves as a gateway to the surrounding high-country recreation areas. At an elevation above 7,600 feet, the course occupies terrain characteristic of Colorado's mountain valleys, with views toward the surrounding ranges. John Cochran designed the layout, working with the natural topography and climate constraints of this high-altitude environment.
The course routing reflects the challenges of mountain golf, where elevation changes, prevailing winds, and the thin air affect play throughout the round. The Gunnison River system influences the valley's character, and the course name references the confluence of waterways in the region. Fairways and greens must contend with the short growing season typical of high-elevation Colorado courses, and maintenance practices adapt to the area's climate patterns.
Dos Rios serves the local Gunnison community and visitors to the region, which is known for Western State Colorado University and outdoor recreation including fishing, hiking, and winter sports. The club provides a golf option in an area where courses are relatively sparse compared to Colorado's Front Range population centers. The setting offers a different character from resort courses in better-known Colorado mountain towns, with a focus on accessible play in a working ranching and university community rather than destination tourism.
