Rifle Creek, Rifle 

The Rifle Creek Golf Course could easily be one of the most scenic and spectacular 18-hole championship courses in Colorado. Richard M. Phelps designed this beautiful and pristine course using all of the area's natural beauty. Situated in the narrow Rifle Creek valley at the foot of the Grand Hogback Range, Rifle Creek is located only a few yards from the spot of artist Christo's famous Valley Curtain.

The natural terrain lent itself to the development of two very distinct nine holes. The front nine is a more traditional design featuring numerous trees, water hazards, and greens that will test your imagination. The back nine is a target-oriented design built in the narrow valleys of the Hogback Range. It features elevated tees, narrow passages and landing areas, and well contoured greens. The entire golf course is filled with spectacular views that are unobstructed by development. 

Rifle Creek is a semi-private golf course.

Rifle Creek golf course is located on state highway 325 about 5 miles North of Rifle.
