Located in the lush Yampa Valley Region of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Haymaker Golf Course is a Championship Golf Course Gem. Snow-capped Mount Werner frames many of the holes, while the spectacular Flat Top Mountain Range serves as a picturesque backdrop. Created out of vast ranchland and rock piles, this Keith Foster design is home to where many elk, eagles, and blue herons roam.
Also available is a practice driving range with 30 individual hitting areas; chipping, pitching, sand bunker, and practice green; and a 10,000 square foot practice putting green.
