Three Perfect Days · Steamboat Springs

Two courses, fifteen minutes.

Steamboat Springs has two full 18-hole courses and both are within 15 minutes of Escape Chalet. Haymaker is a 233-acre city-owned course with four sets of tees per hole and open views of the Yampa Valley and Mount Werner. Rollingstone Ranch has been named a Top 100 course by Fairways Magazine, and you can hear Fish Creek Falls from parts of it.
