The golf course weaves through acres of protected lands, which is appropriate for a community equally bound by reverence for the game and the natural world that supports it. We wake up with the sun and stay up late to chase daylight down our fairways. With each hole at Rainmakers offering four to six sets of tee boxes and stunning scenery, Rainmakers is simply astonishing golf.

It is 7,110 yards, a certainly playable distance for low handicappers, thanks in part to being set at more than 7,000 feet in elevation. Elk, deer, bobcats, and even black bears are also common visitors. And the resident elk herd is healthy enough that the course has even implemented a local rule that allows golfers to improve their lie should any shot come to rest inside an elk track.
