I'll start by saying that my low review is based on the customer service of the Pro Shop workers…read moreand how they handle patrons. While in Vail a few weeks ago, we called ahead to the course b/c we wanted to purposely play the Norman course (vs the Fazio) and we knew it was every other day, but nothing on the website says what days. We were flying into Denver Monday morning so would prefer a Tuesday tee time b/c of the drive to Vail. We called in mid-July and spoke with a woman (did not get her name) and we indicated that we wanted to play the Norman course. She told us we could only play it on the Monday, Sept 13. We were disappointed b/c we knew if there was a flight delay, we would be sunk. However, to only have that option, we booked a later Monday afternoon tee time. As luck would have it, our flight was delayed - and car rental was awful so we were flying on the road to make our tee time...McDonald's drive thru for lunch. We made our 2:40 tee time. Thinking nothing of confirming anything when we paid, we got in the golf cart and saw the Fazio golf card and I went back into the Pro Shop to confirm. The person behind the desk is why this is a 3 star review. As he folded shirts, he told me that odd number days are Fazio and we were on an odd day. I told him that we had called the pro-shop specifically when we booked our tee time and she told us Monday's were Norman. He looked at me...continued folding shirts...and said "sorry" and turned away. Mind you - there was nobody in the pro shop but him so he wasn't busy. I was livid at his attitude and his lack of care. We got in our golf cart - b/c there was nothing else we could do - and then tried to find where the Fazio course was. Another complaint of the course would be that there are no signs and nobody outside to point to you to the first tee or even to hit balls. There is no starter so you just go when you want. Do not get me wrong - the Fazio course is great and had nice views and is hard - but we heard the Norman course was prettier. Poorly run golf course and definitely not one I would go back to. I would have been okay had the guy in the pro shop at least acknowledged a mistake, but he tried to blame me for booking the tee time thru the hotel. No - we specifically spoke to the Pro Shop b/c we knew the hotel wouldn't know which day the Norman course could be played. His nonchalant attitude was awful and definitely put a damper on my experience.

With this year's ski season rapidly approaching, and my upcoming winter trip to Utah finally…read morebooked, I thought it'd be worthwhile to reflect on my past few excellent years at Vail with some tips: 1 - If you do nothing else for the rest of your life, SKI THE BACK BOWLS (maps here: http://www.vail.com/mountain/explore-mountain/mountain-trail-map.aspx). Don't ever leave...Seriously! Vail's whole claim "like nothing on earth" comes to life once you've skied here. Blue Sky Basin is pretty badass too if you're looking for untouched powder, tree skiing, and plenty of rocks/cliffs to jump off. These areas are what distinguish Vail from almost every other ski resort in the U.S. (European skiing above the tree line is very similar in experience to Vail's back bowls). Both areas are also much quieter than the front side, which has a tendency to always crowd up by the lodge area...this brings me to #2... 2 - If you must ski the front side of Vail, get as high up as you can, and take small runs down (ie. from the summit to Mid-Vail). Rinse and repeat, and you'll stay away from the sometimes overwhelming base-area crowds. 3 - If you're not staying in Vail or Lionshead Villages, hang out there for a round after the ski day. Vail is known for their apres ski scene, and you'll see why once you get out of your skis and boots after your last run. There are a plethora of restaurants and bars, many with live music and drink specials. Certainly, you can probably get cheaper food/drink if you're willing to drive out of the village, but the scene and people alone make everything worth it. 4 - Regardless of where you're staying, utilize the free in-town shuttle buses. Vail Village is typically more expensive than Lionshead, so we end up staying in Lionshead (same proximity to the slopes, walking distance to both Born Free and Eagle Bahn gondolas). You're already spending $120+ a day on skiing and even more on food and drink, so if you're looking to shave cost without really sacrificing much, this is the way to do so.

This is the mountain I truly learned how to curve on my snowboard. The snow is pure powder. It…read moremakes falling not painful and it makes the falls more of a small bump. I am proud to say that because of vail I can now snowboard with ease. If you are debating between what mountains to board when in Colorado, I would say vail is a perfect option. The mountain runs are a good 30 to 45 minutes. The lifts up the main mountains are called gondolas and they are insulated and warm. Once you hit the main slopes in order to get to the top upper slopes you need to take the regular lifts. The regular lifts are cold, as expected. Lift tickets are about 160$ per a person for a whole day pay. It's $80 per a person for half a day. The vail village makes this a must. It's a quaint town with loads of shopping, dinning and ski/ boarding related stuff. As a boarder, I do have to mention that this mountain is way more skier friendly than boarder friendly. But overall, it's a great place to board.

First off -- it's a public course, and some argue the best non-private track in the country. That…read moremight be debatable. The setting is perfection: nestled at the base of the Gore Range with postcard-worthy views at every hole. Conditions: top-notch. Smooth greens, tight fairways, and the layout rewards smart play without being brutal. It is far more polished than most munis. Slightly sad fact? The course runs beside I-70, so mountain serenity comes with a symphony of highway noise. Other private courses in the region do too, but are set back further so the decibel level is lower or insignificant. This location nevertheless is a must-play if you're anywhere near Vail.

Only snafu for me was the club rental. They have nice new Calloway rental sets. They asked if I wanted senior clubs and I said yes. Unfortunately the senior clubs were some beat up old Titleists so stay away from those. The rangers did keep play moving which I greatly appreciated. Some people spend too much time and psychic energy bonding with their golf balls and slow down play. You will definitely lose a few balls on this course so just expect it, live with it and keep moving. With the thick vegetation and the meandering creek these balls are gone forever so just let them go. II'd play here again anytime!

So since the twilight was only $100, I decided to fork over the cash and enjoy a round on a beautiful course tucked into the mountains. Course was kept up very well. The views were amazing. Lots of elevation changes. I rented clubs as well and they were very nice (Taylormade). Beer cart lady was on the course. She offered snacks, beers, soft drinks, and liquor. I wish I could play golf on courses like this all the time. I typically play up at Cape Royale on Lake Livingston. No comparison. If you get a chance, spend the money and play golf in Colorado during the summer. All the courses I passed on 71 in the many ski resort towns looked very nice.

What an awesome golf course. I'm sorry I can't give it five stars because of a few things that I…read morethink are important. I get the feeling it was a private course and they would probably like to stay private but need the money of the general public and for that reason I feel as though they have a little bit of a attitude toward nonmembers playing there. When asking the woman in the pro shop about getting paired up she said there was no one else playing if I wanted to pair up with other people (which I did want to) then I should go over to River Valley Ranch because they are busier and I would probably get paired up. Also when I asked about if they had GPS on the golf carts or yardage books or any maps of the golf course(because we have never been there), her reply was no but they do have them at River Valley Ranch maybe you should go there. And oddly enough my golf cart died after 13 holes and I had to limp back to the pro shop and swap carts. I think that's kind of ironic considering that there was really nobody there but yet I had a dead golf cart. So even though I love the golf course, I think it's overpriced for the service and the lack of amenities. Maybe they'll get enough money to go private again and they'll all be happy.

I'm not sure where to begin, so I will just lay out my experience: I drove from Fort Worth to Breckenridge, got to the hotel, valet got me squared away (as I had 2 karts of luggage to bring to the room). I had my dog, and he has an expensive diet with fresh ground frozen meats. Trying to get settled in, I wanted to crash out ASAP, but I had to unload a plethora of booze and a few other things from the fridge - which I immediately realized did not have any sort of freezer. No problem, I just opened my windows and stuck the meat out on the sill - no problem keeping it frozen. Wanting to wind down (super strung out from that drive), I checked out what was on TV. Thank you EVERYONE who left their subscriptions logged in! I got into some shows that I would have never seen otherwise! Then I thought I'd pop some popcorn - no microwave (wtf). I seriously thought about walking out to the lobby in my undies to get my corn popped, but the building was freezing cold. I highly recommend carrying a hot plate and small pot, because I always do, and hardly ever need it - except for this time. I never popped my corn, but made plenty of soup. Then came time to actually crash out. I like to bathe before I bed in, so that's what I did. I ran the water in the tub on full hot until full. The room was so cold, the tub cooled the water significantly, but that really didn't bug me too bad. It's when I was layed down in the tub when I realized I had to stand up each time I needed soap and shampoo lol... Hey, no prob, I did that, relaxed, everything was great, even the sliding barn door :D I crawled into bed, and it was GREAT. Maybe my own bed sucks, but I was in heaven...... until it all started. I could hear EVERYTHING! Doors slamming, people talking, dogs barking (to which mine responded - uggh), and TRASH TRUCKS OMG! These things really were all I have to complain about. Every member of staff: cleaning ladies, valet guys, TALENTED bartenders, etc... we're great! I am giving 4 stars, because I'm really not into the ski resort thing enough to know what is the norm, but I have to bring these things to your attention. I would probably stay there again. I've read the 1, 2, and 3 star reviews, and I sympathize. My vacation was great, but the room was the cilantro (great to some, awful to others).
