Solid Nicklaus design just outside of Vail. Club and course both first class, with gorgeous mountain views and some awesome signature holes along the Eagle River. Some forgettable holes mixed in, but this is definitely a great place to spend the day in Colorado.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Wolcott, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
