Telluride Golf Club

The Most Beautiful Place You'll Ever Play

The Telluride Golf Club features an 18-hole par-70, 6,574-yard course tucked within the highest concentration of 13,000 and 14,000 foot peaks in the United States.

The natural beauty and splendor of the surrounding mountains and wildflowers will take your breath away as you tee off at 9,417 feet, an altitude that puts Telluride Golf Club amongst the highest golf courses in the world. The altitude works to your advantage as Telluride's air creates less resistance against the golf ball during flight, translating to longer drives.

Environment

Set on Turkey Creek Mesa, the course was designed to take advantage of rugged terrain formed by Telluride’s glacial retreat thousands of years ago. When building the course, architects took care to protect the delicate grasslands and forest that are home to elk, bear, lynx and other animals.
