Vail’s muni mountain course is a joy. Not that long but a straight hitter has an advantage. Greens have not recovered from winter snow [I played in July] so there are a little patchy. Playing at 7000 ft. elevation the ball really goes. The good- scenery and wonderful staff. The bad – on the first 14 holes you hear two highways zooming along. The last few holes take you onto the mountain hill side for a special look into the beautiful Vail forest. Really nice added benefit. Because of the road noise I give it a B+.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
