Vail Valley
Red Sky Ranch - Fazio Course
High-end mountain resort
The Fazio Course is the more instantly lovable Red Sky round. Tom Fazio opened it in 2002 with a guest clubhouse overlooking the 18th, and the course gives you mountain drama without punishing every mid-handicap miss like a courtroom sentence. It is scenic, polished, strategic enough, and easier for a mixed group to appreciate on first play.
