Ironbridge Golf Club

Venue Overview

Ironbridge Golf Club is an 18-hole alpine golf course in Glenwood Springs, set within a mountain community between rust-colored cliffs and sweeping views of Mt. Sopris. Designed by Arthur Hills and later refined by Tom Lehman, the course plays to 7,224 yards with a dramatic 495-foot elevation gain from the pro shop to the 12th tee, making for one of the more distinctive alpine golf experiences in western Colorado. Beyond the course itself, Ironbridge is built around an active-leisure mountain lifestyle, with views of the Roaring Fork River, miles of hiking and biking paths, and private access to the river's Gold Medal Waters for fly fishing. The community's wide-open spaces and layered mountain scenery give Ironbridge a distinct sense of place among Colorado's public and semi-private golf courses.
