Yeah we have a lot of recreation here in Vail Colorado its lot of fun, we have hiking, we have biking trails, we have recreational path runs right by the golf course here. So if you drive up to the golf course you could play around the golf. Take a bike ride right from here and come back and play few more holes.

Marc DesRosiers: Now the Gore Range is majestic to be honest with you it's plain on this course and it having Vail as a backdrop is this is very spiritual in my opinion. Not only that we've got the bike path that runs from the top of Vail paths a pretty much all the way down to Gypsum. So we'll get bikers that stopping for lunch and people like the group behind me that's been here for 21 years. If there is a reason they coming back here year after year. I thank for myself and forgets that I've come here year after year it's mesmerizing. Alice Plain: The setting of the driving range here at Vail Golf Club is probably the one of the best views in Colorado. We don't use artificial turf here you are at real grass when you're hitting up the driving range. And we have a practice green, practice bunker, pitching green. Our practice green is cut everyday it's very similar what you'll see on the golf course. And for information about the Vail Golf Club you can visit our website which is vailgolfclub.net.
