Opened in 2015, Frost Creek features an 18- hole championship golf course designed by Tom Weiskopf. Since then, Weiskopf has rearranged challenging spots to make the course more navigable for the whole family. His designed emphasizes the surrounding landscape and was designed into the surrounding terrain. The Brush Creek Valley location allows for Frost Creek to have two very different landscapes on a single course: a high desert alpine front nine and a river valley back nine. Frost Creek is known for being a quiet and peaceful getaway. Unlike most other courses in the area, Frost Creek is removed from I-70, so it is far quieter and gives the feeling of seclusion, while only being minutes to all the area’s activity. Frost Creek is quickly become known across the country for its, “combination of breathtaking scenery, meticulous maintenance and creative challenge, results in a celebrated round of golf that inspires awe in even the most seasoned players.”
Frost Creek offers its members a wide variety of other amenities in addition to golf. For the fisherman in the family, Frost Creek has stocked fishing ponds and four private miles of Brush Creek for fly fishing. Members can rent stand up paddle boards to take out in a designated swimming pond that also has a deck and swimming platform. Frost Creek offers running, hiking and biking trails and a club jeep is available to members who wish to explore near- by. In the summer, they offer a wide range of lawn games to keep the whole family entertained. In the winter, the golf course becomes a track for snowshoeing and Nordic skiing, the outdoor tennis courts become an ice skating rink, and the Frost Creek sledding hill provides kids with hours of fun. To keep members in shape, Frost Creek has a fully- equipped fitness center and an assortment of daily group fitness classes including yoga, barre sculpt, group, hikes, and snowshoeing. Cottages are available for rent so that members and their guests can stay on the grounds and enjoy the club for several days. For more information on membership visit www.frostcreek.com.
