Las Animas Golf Course

This high plains Colorado track delivers mountain golf without the altitude sickness, running through cottonwood-lined fairways where the Arkansas River once meandered. The back nine climbs into rolling foothills that frame distant Sangre de Cristo peaks, while prevailing westerly winds turn every approach shot into a chess match. At 4,000 feet with firm conditions year-round, you'll add 15 yards to every club and discover why locals consider this hidden gem the best value in southeastern Colorado.
