Rollingstone Ranch Course
Sheraton's Rollingstone Ranch Golf Club



About this course
Rollingstone Ranch Golf Club sits in the Yampa Valley near Steamboat Springs, Colorado, at approximately 6,700 feet elevation. Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed the course in the mid-1970s as part of the Sheraton resort development, bringing his characteristic strategic bunkering and emphasis on risk-reward options to the high-altitude mountain setting. The layout takes advantage of the natural terrain, with the Yampa River influencing several holes and the surrounding ranchland providing an open, expansive feel distinct from the tighter, forested mountain courses found elsewhere in Colorado's resort communities. The course plays across rolling terrain with views of the surrounding peaks, though the elevation and typically dry conditions affect both distance and turf conditions. Jones incorporated water features and native grasses into the design, asking players to manage both the thin air—which can add significant yardage—and the strategic demands of well-placed hazards. The layout reflects the architect's 1970s style, with generous landing areas balanced by penal greenside bunkering. Rollingstone Ranch operates as part of the Steamboat Springs golf landscape, serving resort guests and local players in a region better known for winter sports. The course provides a mountain golf experience that emphasizes the natural high-country setting rather than manufactured drama, with the Yampa Valley's pastoral character shaping the round's rhythm and character.

Getting there
The journey to Sheraton's Rollingstone Ranch Golf Club begins at Yampa Valley Regional Airport (HDN), a compact hub just 25 minutes west of Steamboat Springs, or alternatively via Denver International (DEN) followed by a two-and-a-half-hour drive northwest through the Colorado high country. The approach winds from the valley floor into increasingly dramatic terrain, climbing gently through aspen groves and open ranchland as the Routt National Forest draws near, with the Elk Mountains rising in the distance. The final miles transition from paved highway to private ranch roads, where the landscape opens into high-elevation meadows and the club's signature rolling terrain emerges - a serene arrival that captures the quiet grandeur of Colorado's northern reaches.
