Not long after Red Sky Golf Club opened 20 years ago, folks in the Vail Valley hung an audacious moniker on the 36-hole club. They started referring to it as the “Pebble Beach of the Mountains.”
To many golfers, any comparisons to Pebble Beach border on sacrilege. But Red Sky is, to adapt the timeless description of Pebble, a fortuitous meeting of fairways and mountains – an exhilarating golf experience that just happens to take place at 8,000 feet as opposed to sea level. Red Sky is an unusually good representation of the mountain-golf genre, with two distinct layouts, each uncontrived, flowing gracefully across a rugged, picturesque landscape.
