Red Sky Rising

WITH TWO MAGNIFICENT GOLF COURSES – one designed by Greg Norman and the other by Tom Fazio Red Sky Golf Club provides a welcome treat for summer mountain fun. They can be the sundae of an excursion to Eagle County, or just the cherry on the top. “Red Sky has the most beautiful setting to play the game,” said Andrew Hedrick, Red Sky’s general manager and director of golf. “Red Sky is a pure golf experience that once someone has the opportunity to take in the experience, it will automatically give them a sensation to return.” The Fazio course is shorter – though still more than 7,000 yards from the back – but requires a little more care in getting the ball in the right position off the tee. The views of Vail’s back bowls are stunning. The Norman course is longer, so the fairways open up more widely. Swing away! Red Sky is 20 minutes down Interstate 70 from Vail, and two hours from Denver International Airport.
