Telluride Ski & Golf Club

The thin air at 9,500 feet turns every drive into a carnival ride, with balls carrying 20 yards farther than your sea-level expectations while the dramatic elevation changes demand constant club adjustments through Colorado's stunning San Juan Mountains. Designer Jim Engh crafted a theatrical layout where the par-3 13th plays downhill through a natural amphitheater of aspen groves, and the finishing stretch rewards aggressive lines with views that make you forget your score. This mountain track punishes the timid but rewards golfers willing to embrace both the altitude and attitude of high-country golf.
