Opened in 2003, Red Sky Ranch and Golf Club, Fazio Course in Wolcott, Colorado, is a 36-hole private golf facility known for craggy rock outcroppings, rugged gulches, and wildflower meadows that contribute to a wilderness golf experience. Red Sky is a private membership club with a separate resort golf operation. Members and resort guests each enjoy their own clubhouse and alternate play daily between the Tom Fazio and Greg Norman courses. 

Nestled in a high plain near Vail and Beaver Creek, Red Sky's championship courses are separated by a massive ridge, which serves as a wildlife migration corridor for deer and elk. The two Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary registered layouts weave through 800 acres of historic ranchlands filled with sage, and aspen groves and offer spectacular mountain vistas. 

Red Sky Ranch and Golf Club, Fazio Course spectacular par 72 design merges spectacular vistas of Vail's Back Bowls with a variety of terrain to gratify players of all skill levels. Players will make their way through open sage-covered hills, dense aspen forest, and around a highland lake. Fazio's design team has taken particular care to maintain the site's indigenous vegetation, relocating more than 23,000 native plants into nurseries for re-planting throughout the 7,113-yard course. 

For those looking to perfect their swing, there is a spacious practice tee and the manicured short game area features a picturesque putting green nearly 5,000-ft in size surrounded by several bunkers. Both clubhouses offer bar and dining options with views of the Rocky Mountains and catering is available for events and functions. There is also a Pro shop and members have access to a fitness center, swimming pool, and two clay tennis courts.
