MAROON CREEK CLUB GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Aspen, CO, USA
Designed by Tom Fazio

Maroon Creek Club sits in the Roaring Fork Valley near Aspen, Colorado, designed by Tom Fazio and opened in the early 2000s. The course occupies terrain at approximately 8,000 feet elevation, making it one of the higher-altitude championship layouts in the United States. Fazio routed the eighteen holes through a mountain valley setting with views toward the Elk Mountains, working with the natural contours and incorporating native grasses and vegetation characteristic of the high country.
The design reflects Fazio's approach to mountain golf, emphasizing strategic variety and playability despite the dramatic topography. Elevation changes throughout the round affect both club selection and ball flight in the thin air. Water features, including Maroon Creek itself, come into play on several holes, and bunker placement requires careful navigation. The course layout takes advantage of the property's natural beauty while maintaining playable corridors through the valley floor and hillside terrain.
Maroon Creek Club operates as a private facility serving a membership drawn largely from the Aspen area's seasonal and year-round residents. The club reflects the character of Colorado mountain golf communities, where the golf season runs from late spring through early autumn due to elevation and weather patterns. The course has remained relatively low-profile compared to other Colorado mountain designs, maintaining its focus on member play rather than tournament hosting or public access.
