If a peaceful, serene oasis appeals, then look no farther than the beauty of western Colorado. In this pastoral land, visitors are first stunned by the breathtaking vistas and then they’re amazed by the world-class amenities that include some of the best golf courses in the world. Cobble Creek, in the city of Montrose at 5,800 feet elevation, is an hour north of Telluride. It’s one of several must-see golf courses and residential communities on the Western slope. The prices are less than in other pricey resort towns and the golf courses are, well, nothing short of spectacular. Better yet, the area boasts a mild climate that will keep golfers teeing off long after other fairways are covered with snow.
These well-designed courses feature dramatic topography and glorious views along with the chance to experience championship golf, tennis, walking and bicycling trails. At Cobble Creek Golf Club, you’ll find an 18-hole, 6,983-yard, par-72 course surrounded by a 445-acre planned community. This valley course offers 360-degree views of the Grand Mesa and San Juan mountains. Don’t miss the brand new clubhouse set to open this fall. It will include a pro shop, locker rooms and fitness center, as well as Lorenzo’s fine dining restaurant and outdoor patio.
Real estate at Cobble Creek is another enlightening experience, with feature-packed homes at affordable price points. Here you’ll find a 445-acre master-planned community with a new eight-acre park with a children’s play area. Single-family homes start at $247,000 in the Spruce Point community within Cobble Creek, and top out at $760,000 for a home fronting the golf course. There are patio homes ranging from $333,500 to $475,000. If you want to have your own custom home built, spacious lots fronting the golf course are available, ranging from $123,000 to $189,000. Other lots off of the golf course begin at $98,000.
