The community of Cordillera Valley Club is one of the few neighborhoods in the Valley with private roadways allowing residents to own and drive their own carts enjoying a “golf cart lifestyle” unique in the Vail Valley. The Club’s local amenities include a restaurant, pool, tennis courts, and gym and there is preliminary approval for a substantial renovation of the club’s facilities. The Valley Club Golf Course, designed by Tom Fazio, is the first to open and the last to close each golf season. The location with abundant light melts away the snow earlier than the other Cordillera golf course locations. In addition to the golf course and the amenities, Cordillera Valley Club residents savor the surrounding natural
beauty with panoramic views stretching from the Back Bowls of Vail over to the New York Mountain, Sawatch Mountain Range, and Lake Creek Valley. Should club members wish to change up the scenery and play a different course, they are welcome to partake in a round on the other two Cordillera golf courses as part of their golf membership. The Summit Course designed by Jack Nicklaus boasts the highest course elevation within Cordillera and is an incredible sight to see.
