Maroon Creek Club
Overview
The stretch of golf at Maroon Creek, beginning at the par-4 fourth and ending at the 16th, is one of the finest in Colorado. Tumultuous terrain paired with design elements employed by Tom Fazio allows for an incredible experience outside Aspen. The holes feel natural to the land, and Fazio’s routing constantly provides a challenge from start to finish. The constant change in elevations means golfers must correctly judge their distances on every shot. Off the tee, Fazio offers some reprieve as oftentimes a good shot will find a speed slot, providing an opportunity to score, but the well-guarded greens mean golfers are not out of the woods just with a good drive.

Review
“Maroon Creek Club is a quiet and scenic golf course set in the mountains just outside of Aspen. The course moves through open meadows and along the creek, with wide fairways that allow you to swing freely while still rewarding smart shots. The greens are smooth and well maintained, adding a nice challenge without being too difficult. What stands out most is the peaceful setting, with mountain views on every hole that make the round feel special. The course was in great shape and offers a classic mountain golf experience. If you ever get the chance to play here, it’s a round you won’t forget."
