Golf:
The Sheraton Steamboat Resort Golf Course development began
in the summer of 1972. By the summer of 1974, this Robert Trent
Jones II designed course was ready for play, with Tom Watson
as its PGA tour representative professional.
This renowned course is comprised of bentgrass greens, bluegrass
and ryegrass fairways, trees and 72 bunkers. Water winds its
way through seven holes with tree-lined conditions on most
of the 18 holes. Due to our relatively low mountain elevation,
you can count on 150 days of playing time each year, from
mid-May to late October, with value golf packages available
all season long.
Catamount Ranch & Club a Tom Weiskopf Signature Golf Course.
"We started with a working ranch in a spectacular setting
and created a course of uncommon distinction." - Tom Weiskopf
On the fairways and greens, you play in the presence of
history - across alpine meadows, past a stonebuilt dairy barn,
along Walton Creek under the watchful majesty of Steamboat´s
great peaks. To play at Catamount Ranch & Club is to learn
something entirely new about the heart of the game.
In his intricate design, Tom Weiskopf took exceptional care
to map out every detail in the course at Catamount Ranch &
Club. Every hole has a story, dramatic and compelling. The
14th hole runs along Walton Creek, offering stunning vistas
through old stands of Douglas fir. The 17th hole crowns a
ridge with an 80-foot drop, looking away over the Flat Tops
Wilderness Area. As you play through meadows, hayfields, rock
formations, groves of aspen, brush oak and cottonwood, you
feel the presence of extraordinary natural grandeur.

Haymaker Golf Course Haymaker is an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Keith Foster, and features a full practice facility, pro shop and the Haybale Bar & Grill.
Haymaker is located three miles east of Steamboat Springs, Colorado at the junction of U.S. Highway 40 and State Highway 131.

Steamboat Springs Health and Recreation
The Steamboat group of mineral waters is one of the largest
and most varied in the world. In each spring in Steamboat, the
water contains alkaline, saline alkaline, iron, lithia, sulphur,
and magnesium in all combinations. Whether fact or myth, many
people testify to the healing qualities of the hot baths. Whether
they heal your reg or your soul, bathing in the springs is
truly an experience to enjoy.
These springs have been enjoyed
in one form or another for over 100 years. It is known that
the Ute Indians who first settled the Yampa Valley gathered
around the Springs. In the early 1900s, there was always a bath-house
with pools for people to enjoy. The last 20 years have seen
the most change with a fitness center added and many additions
to the locker-rooms, waterslide, and kiddie pool.

Strings In The Mountains Festival Of Music was launched
in 1988 in order to foster an appreciation for fine music,
present diverse programming with a focus on chamber music,
and stimulate the cultural, educational and economic environment
of Colorado's Yampa Valley. It is an independent nonprofit
501(c)(3) organization, nationally recognized as one of the
foremost music festivals in the country.
