Good Day for some Golfing


It’s hard to believe we are about halfway done with summer, and it wouldn’t be summer in Telluride without at least one round of golf.

A few weeks ago I decided that it was about time to get a round in. I had been trying to play for a few weeks but it seemed like every day I had off the weather wasn’t going to cooperate. I decided to take my chances and go golfing anyway (with my
rain jacket of course)

I’m not the best golfer; in fact I’m pretty bad. I got a lot of coaching from my boyfriend who plays about 3 rounds a week and is a lot better than I am.

Although I’m not very good, I still enjoy going out to play. The course is in such a beautiful location and the views from out there are just spectacular. About 4 holes in it started raining. We took cover at the halfway house and got some snacks while we were there. The rain only lasted about 10 minutes and we were able to continue playing.

One of the things I love about the golf course is all the wildlife. Hole 7 has a pond with some baby ducks that are just adorable, and hole 17 there is a rock wall where hundreds of Marmotte live.

The Telluride Golf Course is by far the most beautiful course I’ve ever played at, and I highly recommend getting a round in while you are visiting Telluride.

We have many different lodging options in the Mountain Village core that are within walking
distance of the Golf Course and would be perfect for a weekend of golfing.
