KEYSTONE RANCH GOLF COURSE
 |
|
Keystone was rated one of the top golf resorts in
the country by "Golf Magazine" and "Golf Digest."
"Keystone's Ranch Course, laid out by Robert Trent Jones,
Jr. in 1980, is an open, high-meadow design with sagebrush and native grasses
bordering many of the holes. The centerpiece of the course is the Ranch, on old
log homestead that houses the clubhouse and a superb restaurant specializing in
six-course meals served with Western flair. 'Best food in Colorado', commented
one reader."
