Catamount Ranch and Club

Venue Overview

Catamount Ranch & Club is a private, members-only club in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and the only private golf course and lake in the Steamboat area. Spread across 3,200 rolling acres in the Yampa Valley, it pairs a Tom Weiskopf Signature championship golf course, consistently ranked among the top courses in Colorado, with a totally private 530-acre lake, world-class fly fishing, and a ranch lifestyle set beneath Mount Werner and Steamboat's great peaks. From mornings on the Yampa River to afternoons on the fairways and evenings sailing the lake, Catamount offers members a one-of-a-kind high-country experience and a spectacular setting for weddings and private events.

About the Course

The championship golf course at Catamount Ranch & Club is a Tom Weiskopf Signature design that opened in 2000, spanning alpine meadows beneath the splendor of Steamboat's peaks. The par-72 layout has been ranked among Golf Digest's top courses in Colorado and is sanctioned by the Audubon Society for its environmentally sensitive design. As a private club, play is reserved for members and their guests. Course features: 18-hole, par-72 Tom Weiskopf Signature championship course Roughly 7,088 yards from the back tees, with a slope rating of 149 Opened in 2000, designed by Tom Weiskopf with Phil Smith Set across alpine meadows with views of Mount Werner and the Yampa Valley Bold mountain design with dramatic elevation changes and demanding tee shots Audubon Society sanctioned for environmental sensitivity Ranked among the top courses in Colorado by Golf Digest Built on the land of a former working ranch

The Playing Experience

Catamount is mountain golf at its boldest. Tom Weiskopf routed the course through dramatic terrain where, as members like to say, if you are not climbing uphill you are heading down, with demanding forced carries waiting off many tees. It is widely regarded as one of the most challenging mountain courses in Colorado, so the smart play is to tee it forward and enjoy the ride. And what a ride it is: alpine meadows roll out beneath Mount Werner, the conditioning is first class, and the scenery alone is worth the round. Reward the right tee selection with smart, committed golf and Catamount delivers an unforgettable high-country test.
