Overall rating
Featuring several trademark short par fours from designer Tom Weiskopf, the course at Catamount Ranch & Club is situated a few miles south of the wonderfully named Steamboat Springs Ski Resort.
A very strongly rated Tom Weiskopf design that opened for play in 2000, the 18-hole layout at Catamount Ranch & Club is the only private course to be found at the wonderfully named Steamboat Springs ski resort.
The front nine is laid out on flatter terrain, to the west of Walton Creek, with the inward half routed across a more undulating landscape. Unusually, the round at Catamount Ranch starts with back-to-back par fives and ends with a 611-yard split fairway par five at the 18th.
There’s plenty of good golf to be had on this mountain course in between the opening and closing holes, with the short par fours at the 308-yard 5th, the 322-yard 6th and 344-yard 12th of particular interest.
Catamount also boasts a formidable quartet of par threes and the best of these holes is probably the last one played on each nine at the 200-yard 8th, which crosses the creek, and the downhill 209-yard 17th.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
