Keystone Resort’s Ranch Course Opens Today
Ranch Course the Second of Keystone’s Two Courses to Open
  
Keystone, Colo. — May 29, 2015 — Golf season is in full swing at Keystone Resort with the opening of its Ranch Course today, joining the currently open River Course, to provide the only 36-hole golf facility in Summit County, Colorado. The Robert Trent Jones, Jr.-designed Ranch Course follows a legendary, links-style Scottish course on the front nine, while the back nine presents a traditional, mountain valley layout. The par-72 course is set on historic ranch land where original structures remain throughout the course, providing a nostalgic feel amongst the breathtaking scenery. Golf rates start at just $55 throughout the entire season and are conveniently available online, or by calling 800-464-3494.
 
The Keystone Ranch Course is home to the comfortable Ranch Clubhouse, where guests can enjoy breathtaking views and full-service facilities including locker rooms, a professionally stocked golf shop and the Keystone Ranch Restaurant, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and après snacks and beverages daily. The Keystone Ranch restaurant, a AAA Four-Diamond outlet, features a stunning dining room plus sitting room, as well as a breathtaking deck overlooking the course’s back nine, providing one of the best sunset views in Summit County.
 
Both the Ranch Course and River Course welcome golfers of all abilities to enjoy the spectacular views while teeing-off into the crisp Rocky Mountain air. Sitting at 9,280-feet above elevation and just a short, scenic drive from Denver, Boulder and surrounding areas, Keystone Resort provides a variety of lodging accommodations, dining options, resort amenities and family-friendly, summer adventures.
 
Lodging Deals
From friends, families and groups, to avid golfers and those simply looking for a quick nine, Keystone’s package deals provide excellent value while allowing guests to customize and maximize their visits. The ‘Stay, Play & Save’ package offers savings of up to 33 percent on lodging and golf packages, while ‘Ski &Tee’ allows guests to enjoy the best of two seasons with skiing or riding at nearby Arapahoe Basin prior to afternoon golf at Keystone. With any two night stay or more booked through Keystone Property Management, every member of the group receives Play for Free benefits, including free nine holes of golf on evening of arrival, free yoga classes, free guided hikes and free scenic gondola tickets for children 12 and younger.
 
Golf Clinics & Pro Programs
Keystone Resort offers various golf programs and clinics, including private lessons with PGA teaching professionals, Ladies Play Days, group clinics and junior programs. Weekly events, clinics and play days provide golfers numerous opportunities to hit the links throughout the summer, including free nightly Junior Golf for anyone 17 and younger. Families or newcomers can take advantage of ‘Time for Nine’ rates and SNAG (Starting New at Golf) Golf, a development program designed for new players – both children and adults, in a fun and easy program that begins at just $15 per family, including equipment.

Families Rule at Keystone
Keystone Resort has long been known as a place where families rule, and summers are no exception, where turning lifts carry mountain bikers, hikers and families seeking mountaintop summer adventures, rather than skiers and riders searching for fresh turns. From scenic lift rides and guided hikes to horseback riding and 36-holes of championship golf, the opportunities for summer adventures are endless.
