Cordillera
From the Vail Valley floor to Cordillera's Summit, Tom Fazio, Jack Nicklaus, Dave Pelz, and Hale Irwin have crafted four extraordinary golf courses, each with an award-winning clubhouse and its own special ambience and culinary experience. The valley courses have little strategically placed foliage whee as the mountaintop courses are covered with Aspens. Cordillera is a Private Community but for those who want to pay they can play. It is easy to get on the valley courses but harder to get on the ones up top. For those who stay at the resort they also offer private Eagle River fishing, the acclaimed Spa, an indoor equestrian arena, miles of riding, hiking and Nordic ski trails, three tennis centers, five indoor and outdoor pools, four fitness facilities, a portal to a million acres of wilderness and a summer camp and Trailhead clubhouse for children. Cordillera is abou 45 minutes east of Glenwood Springs.
