Summit County's five scenic golf courses offer great Colorado outdoor experience with panoramic views and an ever-changing landscape. From mountainsides flecked with wildflowers to migrating elk strolling across the fairway, golf in the mountains brings pleasant surprises. And the best surprise? A combination of altitude and physics causes a 15-20% increase in your drives, making you feel like a golf pro for a day. Golf is one of the most popular summer activities, and it is necessary to reserve tee times in advance. Many lodging companies offer golf packages with lodging reservations, so be sure to ask when you book your stay.
