About this course

Summit at The Club Cordillera, carved into the dramatic Colorado Rockies near Edwards, isn't just another mountaintop course; it's a high-altitude testament to Nicklaus's design philosophy: risk rewarded, mistakes punished. The course's dramatic elevation changes, a hallmark of mountain golf, are integrated into the strategy. Summit offers a distinct experience of resort style golf. Nicklaus’s design here showcases a course where precise iron play is not just an advantage, but a necessity, given the narrow fairways and heavily contoured greens. This high-altitude test isn't nationally known for hosting major championships, but it is one of the four courses available to members of The Club at Cordillera. The Club at Cordillera offers a unique appeal that extends beyond the course itself. Membership is more than just access to golf; it's about embracing a lifestyle deeply connected to the mountain environment and all of its offerings. It is also known to draw a clientele of passionate golfers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Getting there

The journey to The Club Cordillera begins at Eagle County Regional Airport, a mere fifteen minutes down the valley - one of the rare commercial gateways where private jets and commercial carriers share the same mountain-ringed tarmac. From there, the ascent into Edwards trades Interstate 70's utilitarian corridor for a climbing approach through high-desert terrain, where the Vail Valley's celebrated resorts give way to something quieter and more rarefied. The final turn onto the property reveals why Cordillera chose this particular ridge: perched at 7,500 feet, the club commands sweeping views across the Sawatch Range, a destination reached not by accident but by deliberate pilgrimage to Colorado's most elevated golf sanctuary.
