Little known fact: The effect of gravity diminishes as you gain altitude and at 8,000 feet above sea level, where Grand County sits, this can add up to a whopping 15% increase in the distance of your golf shots. Of course, that’s not the only reason to golf Grand County! With four world-class courses and more on the way, Grand County is quickly becoming a mountain golf paradise.

Headwaters's links-style golf course has something to offer everyone. Cut into the draw that runs through Granby Ranch, the front nine winds along the Fraser River. The golf course, with its inspiring views and western feel, reflects President & CEO Marise Cipriani’s love for nature and conservation, and her vision for Headwaters. Typical mountain golf courses are tight with trees on either side, but SolVista’s course is open with natural obstacles comprised of wetlands and native vegetation. Located along the Fraser River, the golf course will be a critical link for expanding the resort’s residential and recreation activities.
