Roaring Fork Club

The Roaring Fork Club opened in 1999 in Basalt, Colorado, on 282 acres straddling the Roaring Fork River between Aspen and Basalt. Jack Nicklaus, working with design associate Bruce Borland, laid out the par-72 course to weave along both banks of the river, framed by cottonwoods and mountain backdrops. The routing carries playful nods to links tradition, including a shared double green serving the 7th and 15th holes and a memorable shot played over active railroad tracks at the 14th, touches reminiscent of St Andrews and Prestwick. A private club combining golf, fly-fishing and cabin accommodations, Roaring Fork is as much a mountain sporting retreat as a course. At altitude and along the water, it offers a scenic, walkable Nicklaus design in Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley.
