To all my fellow golfers,
 
Grand Elk Golf Course offers a terrific golf experience with an incredible panoramic view of the Continental Divide. The course is much like a sea side links course with the majestic mountains as the backdrop instead.   
The greens at Grand Elk are, in my view, what makes this course so fun and challenging to play. Smooth true fast rolls, especially in mid summer, make finishing out each hole a satisfying experience.
The on-board cart GPS systems make club selection easier and the grill offers great snacks, meals, and beverages.
It is my personal favorite course when playing golf in Grand County.

Just wanted to say a brief thanks for a great golf season this year. I feel like the staff do a great job and really got the course in great shape.  I heard comments from several Denver players about how they were surprised about the great course condition.
 
Anyway I look forward to another great season next year.

Just an end of season note to say thanks to you and your staff. The course condition this summer exceeded all expectations. I’ve never seen it better. Hats off to the course superintendent and his crew.
 
Grand Elk is becoming the golf destination that it deserves to be.  Keep up the great work and I will see you next spring,

Grand Elk has been in great shape this year. It gets better every year since the homeowners bought the course. It is definitely my favorite mountain course in the area. I especially like the GPS in the carts. Staff is great too!

I just wanted to comment on the condition of the Grand Elk golf course this summer.  I have lived here for almost 10 years and I have never seen the course in such wonderful condition. We played with a couple of people from the front range who were here to play all of the Grand County courses, and all commented to us that Grand Elk was by far in the best condition, and one group said they came back here for a second time because they enjoyed playing here so much. Our hats go off to the wonderful crew. It is so nice to see the course restored to the “early years” condition.
 
I also want to complement the kitchen and restaurant crew. The menu is great. The dinners have also been outstanding. The prime rib is second to none.
 
The Pro shop is also very organized and all staff courteous and helpful, and the clothing options back to where they should be, in my opinion.
 
Thank you all staff at Grand Elk, we as homeowners appreciate your hard work and diligence to excellence. Can’t wait for golf season 2024!!!
