FORE!
What says guys weekend more than a couple rounds of golf? Grand Country has multiple courses for even the most meticulous eye. Pole Creek Golf Course boasts 27 holes and beautiful views. Grand Elk Golf Club was inspired by the inland courses of the British Isles. It has wide open fairways but remember to check the wind. Granby Ranch is an 18-hole championship course perfect for golfers of all abilities. With meandering greens and Rocky Mountain views the course ranks as one of the top mountain courses in the state. Just think how far you can hit your drive at altitude.
LET’S GO FISHING
From remote and pristine to easily accessible locations, the combination of great fishing, wildlife and views can make fishing in Winter Park unlike any other. Some of the waters in Grand County are designated as Gold Medal Waters; high quality cold water producing trophy sized trout. We recommend booking a trip with a local guide who can help you find some of the best fishing spots in the West. Here are our tips & tricks for getting on the water.
READY FOR A BEER?
For a town with a relatively low permanent population, Winter Park has plenty of brewery options. With new additions in the last few years, it can now be considered a beer destination. Start in Fraser and ride bikes on the paved bike trail connecting Fraser to downtown Winter Park. A few of our favorites include Camber Brewing Co., Fraser River Beer Co., The Peak, Hideway Park Brewery, Big Trout Brewing, Vicious Cycle Brewing. If you’re in Winter Park in early August, make sure to check out the Winter Park Beer Festival to taste local & regional beers in Hideaway Park. Cheers!
