Owned by the Steamboat Springs Municipality, the Haymaker Golf Course occupies 233 acres on the south side of the city. Laid out in open countryside, there's no intrusive residential elements obscuring the wide Yampa Valley vistas from any of its generous fairways.
Laid out as two distinct 9-hole circuits, both of which arrive back at the clubhouse via a demanding par five, Haymaker is a highly entertaining Keith Foster layout, proving the renowned restoration expert is just as adept at designing courses from scratch as he is carefully polishing older ones.
Highlight holes include the 457-yard 4th (“Flat Tops”), rated stroke index 1 on the card, short par fours at the 8th (“Ring the Bell”) and 11th (“Watering Hole”), and the 248-yard 17th (“Ten Gallon”), where the shallow putting surface is protected by two small bunkers to the front left of the green.
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.
