The two clubs offer picturesque mountain backdrops as golfers take in their time on the links.
Plus, when not on the course, visitors can also partake in all the other mountain fun: hiking, fly fishing, mountain biking, hot air ballooning, whitewater rafting, and more, or enjoy a relaxing treatment at Park Hyatt’s world-class, on-site spa – Exhale Spa.
