Durango, CO | Surrounded by the majestic peaks of the San Juan Mountains, storied towns, and more than three million acres of protected wilderness, Glacier is a community of passionate, adventure-loving families drawn to the limitless year-round recreation afforded by an uncommonly magical corner of Colorado.
The club has multiple membership types that offer varying levels of access and amenity options. In total, the club has 688 active members who have access to utilize the club and surrounding area, year-round. Glacier’s golf season runs from May 1 – October 31 each year and is the most active time at the club. During the winter months, the club offers winter sports activities on the property for members and guests that include cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and sledding, as well as an indoor golf simulator. Other club amenities include our two clubhouses and four restaurants, two fitness centers, three pools and two hot tubs, a spa, tennis and pickleball courts, and hiking trails.
Resting at 7,400 feet, Glacier’s award-winning Mountain and Valley golf courses pair challenging terrain with Southwest Colorado’s most breathtaking scenery.
Designed by Todd Schoeder and three-time U.S. Open Champion Hale Irwin, the 18-hole Mountain Course at Glacier is enveloped by panoramic views that elevate the game itself. By utilizing the land’s dramatic topography and extraordinary rock formations, Schoeder and Hale brought to life a course that challenges even your most tried and tested strategies.
Initially designed in 1976 by renowned architect Arthur Hills, the 18-hole Valley Course has been modernized with new bunkering, hazards, fast undulating greens, and tee-to-green strategic playing options. Golfers will find many elevation changes, challenging doglegs protected by trees, and dramatic mountain views.
