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."
