Fox Acres Country Club

Fox Acres Country Club sits in the mountain community of Red Feather Lakes, roughly 50 miles northwest of Fort Collins in the Roosevelt National Forest region of northern Colorado. At an elevation above 8,000 feet, the course occupies terrain characteristic of the Colorado Front Range foothills—ponderosa pine forests, natural rock outcroppings, and rolling topography shaped by glacial and erosional processes. John Cochran designed the layout to work with this rugged mountain landscape, routing holes through stands of mature conifers and across meadow clearings. The course plays as a mountain resort layout where elevation changes and thin air affect club selection and distance control. Fairways typically follow natural corridors through the forest, and greens are often framed by native grasses and rock features. The setting provides views toward higher peaks to the west and the characteristic open sky of Colorado's high country. Wildlife including elk, deer, and various bird species inhabit the surrounding forest. Fox Acres functions as a semi-private facility serving both members and resort guests visiting the Red Feather Lakes area. The region attracts golfers seeking mountain golf in a less developed setting than Colorado's better-known resort destinations. The course operates seasonally, with the high elevation limiting the playing calendar to late spring through early fall. The club offers dining and lodging as part of its resort amenities, catering to golfers combining rounds with mountain recreation in the Roosevelt National Forest.
