RIVER GOLF COURSE
Keystone was rated one of the top golf resorts in the country by "Golf Magazine" and "Golf Digest." "The River Course, designed by Hurdzan-Fry, is an eco-sensitive
marvel that skirts bike paths, wetlands and the Snake River on the
front nine before ascending to higher ground on the back, where
the views of the Gore Range and Continental Divide are spectacular
- and the 200-foot drop at the par-four 16th is dizzying."
