Venue Overview
Haymaker Golf Course is the City of Steamboat Springs’ championship public golf course, an 18-hole Keith Foster design widely regarded as one of the best municipal courses in Colorado. Set on 233 acres of open meadow in the lush Yampa Valley, with snow-capped Mount Werner and the Flat Top Mountain Range framing the holes, Haymaker plays as a links-style course laced with native grasses, wetlands, and roaming elk, eagles, and blue herons. With no residential development to distract from the views, an Audubon International Signature distinction, a year-round indoor simulator, and a full golf academy, Haymaker is a scenic, walkable, and welcoming home for tournaments, outings, and group play.
About the Course
Operated by the City of Steamboat Springs, Haymaker plays as an 18-hole, par-72 championship course designed by nationally acclaimed architect Keith Foster and opened in 1997. Stretching to 7,308 yards from the back tees with five sets of tees, including a short family option, it challenges every level of golfer while staying remarkably walkable across its flat meadow terrain.
Course features:
18-hole, par-72 championship layout Stretches to 7,308 yards, with five sets of tees including a family tee Designed by Keith Foster, opened in 1997 Links-style front nine and a more traditional, creative back nine Native grasses and wetlands framing wide, open fairways Set on 233 acres with no residential development, just Yampa Valley views Audubon International Signature distinction, a rare environmental honor Substantial practice area and a well-stocked golf shop Golf Bikes available alongside carts on a very walkable course
The Playing Experience
Haymaker is the rare municipal course that plays like a premium daily-fee track. The links-style front nine rewards bold, accurate ball-striking, while the back nine gets creative, mixing drivable par-4s like the 8th and 11th with a stout no. 1 handicap hole, the 457-yard 15th nicknamed “Flat Top,” and a classic Redan-style par-3 5th. The fairways are generous, but the native grasses that line them are unforgiving, so it pays to keep it in play. The terrain is mostly flat, which keeps the round walkable, while the wide-open Yampa Valley and its mountain backdrop supply the drama, often with elk or herons sharing the view. It is a course built for golfers, with genuine variety from tee to green and conditioning that consistently earns it a spot among Colorado’s best munis.
