Red Sky Ranch & Golf Club (Fazio course)

5-star: Fabulous – courses don’t get much better than this.

Est. 2002

Red Sky Ranch & Golf Club is home to two top-quality 18-hole championship golf courses. Laid out on either side of a mountain ridge, the Fazio and the Norman designs are both rated amongst the top championship layouts in Colorado.

Tom Fazio's spectacular design measures just over 7,100 yards from the tips, and combines spectacular vistas of Vail's Back Bowls with a variety of terrain to challenge players of all skill levels. The layout journeys through open sage covered hills, dense aspen forest and around a small highland lake.

The excellent, partly tree-lined, mountain-style Fazio course contains a wealth of wonderfully crafted, memorable and challenging holes. Definitely a course that will challenge your all-round game, and well worth going out of your way to play.

Did you know?

Red Sky Ranch was originally bought by the Jouflas family in 1926. Peter Jouflas was among the first Greek immigrants to arrive in western Colorado. This historic Colorado ranch was transformed in the early-2000s to become one of the most sought after private golf communities in the Rocky Mountains.

Here you will find a classic Rocky Mountain landscape where rolling meadows create a tapestry of aspen, evergreen, sage, rock outcroppings and wildflowers. The magnificent vistas of Castle Peak and the back bowls of Vail Mountain are breathtaking.

Tournaments

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.

Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.

Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.

The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
