Where championship golf, Gold Medal waters, and unforgettable mountain experiences come together
Set amid historic ranchlands, sweeping ridgelines, and fragrant piñon and juniper groves, the Rio Grande Club and Resort offers a truly immersive mountain escape. Both the town of South Fork and the 7,007-yard championship course are enveloped by nearly two million acres of national forest.
Sitting high at 8500’ in the San Juan Mountains, this award-winning 18-hole course features striking elevation changes, ancient volcanic formations, and waterways meandering through fairways that make it a destination well worth the journey. Beyond the course, guests enjoy access to over a mile of private, Gold Medal waters along the Rio Grande River—renowned by the Colorado Division of Wildlife for its exceptional habitat to land trophy trout.
A stunning 25,000-square-foot log clubhouse blends rugged Western charm with casual elegance and warmth. Whether you’re craving a gourmet steak dinner after a day hitting the adjacent ATV trails or a relaxing eucalyptus steam following a round of golf, this destination offers an experience that goes far beyond the eighteenth hole.

Herds of deer graze by the clubhouse while wild geese and waterfowl drift across the nearby pond just beyond the dining patio. Rugged canyons, rolling hills, and wildflower meadows create a breathtaking backdrop for everything from fly-fishing and competitive golf tournaments to live music and memorable gatherings. The club invites members and guests to embrace adventure in every season and for any reason! From saying “I do” surrounded by the beauty of the mountains to business and professional events, the mountain setting offers an equally elevated experience
