Golf

It’s one of the area’s loveliest, but toughest courses. The rolling fairways, water hazards, and four sets of tees provide a challenge for golfers of all skill levels. Diabolically Dye, the course is distinguished by hidden pin placements, carries over water, pot bunkers, elevated tees, and railroad ties. This 6,706-yard, par 70, award-winning championship course is just steps away from the resort, and as such shares the same majestic mountain views.
