About the Course

Steamboat Golf Club is a 9-hole, par-35 course with roots dating to the mid-1960s, making it the oldest established golf course in the Yampa Valley. It is not long, with only one par-4 stretching just past 400 yards, but it is cleverly defended, and a nine-hole round can usually be completed in about two hours, with replay rates available to loop it into a full eighteen. Open to the public and supported by its 100 member-owners, it remains an integral part of the local community.

The Playing Experience

Steamboat Golf Club proves that a course does not need length to be fun or challenging. There is little trouble by way of yardage, with just one par-4 measuring past 400 yards, but the course defends itself with lush rough, a meandering creek that eagerly collects wayward shots, small and confounding greens, and groves of mature cottonwoods ready to swat down anything offline. It is one of the most enjoyable walking courses in the Rockies, an easy, breezy two-hour nine that welcomes families and beginners while still testing accuracy and touch. All the while, the Yampa River borders the property and the valley and ski mountain fill the horizon, making for a relaxed and scenic round.
