Grand County’s Grand Elk Golf Community
Set in majestic Grand County with breathtaking views of the Continental Divide and Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand Elk – a vibrant second-home golf community near Granby – is perfectly situated to become your basecamp for golf and year-round mountain adventures:
- A masterpiece golf course as your “backyard”
- 20 minutes from the ski and resort amenities of Winter Park
- 15 minutes from Lake Granby water sports and the shopping/cultural/art experiences of historic Grand Lake
- An easy jaunt to fly-fishing sweet spots
- Family skiing across the road at Granby Ranch amenities
The centerpiece of Grand Elk is a 7,144-yard Heathland-style golf course exquisitely crafted by PGA Tour veteran and 13-time champion Craig Stadler. Inspired by the inland courses of the British Isles and set amidst sweeping panoramic vistas, meadows and wetlands at the headwaters of the mighty Colorado River, it’s truly a jewel in the Rockies.
And it’s all just 90 miles from Denver!
Grand Elk – Better than Ever

Since opening for business in 2002, the stunning Grand Elk golf course has been a must-do destination for golfers seeking the ultimate mountain-golf experience. At a point, however, the gorgeous new-home properties surrounding the course stalled in the face of economic woes.
Recognizing the value of the unique setting, Koelbel and Company, Colorado’s longest-operating family-owned real estate firm, purchased a substantial parcel of remaining home sites in Grand Elk and began applying its experience and innovation to reenergize the property.
Now, with the opening of its brand-new Grand Elk Fairway Villa model home, Koelbel has uncorked one of the hottest new-home venues in Grand County for full-time mountain residents and Front Range getaway enthusiasts alike. Little wonder, considering the great features in the two- and three-bedroom easy-flow floor ranging from 1,700 to 2,200+ finished square feet.

Both floor plans include:
- open Great Room/kitchen/dining area perfect for gatherings
- spacious rear deck (hot-tub ready!)
- two-car garage
The two-bedroom ranch also has a wrap-around front porch and a spacious drop zone/laundry room off the owner’s garage entry, while the two-story plan has a main-floor master, two upstairs bedrooms and a sizable loft that buyers can choose to convert into a fourth bedroom. The two-story has a drop zone/laundry room combo, too.

With a starting price in the $400s, Koelbel’s Grand Elk floor plans are arguably the best mountain-getaway value in the Rockies. Five new homes have been claimed by enthusiastic homebuyers since the model opened in late March.
The Grand Elk model is open for tours every weekend from 10 AM-4 PM. Weekday tours are by appointment only. For more information or to schedule a tour, please contact the Rendezvous/Grand Elk sales office at 970-726-5177.
