The golf courses of Summit
County have breathtaking scenery as
well as the type of challenging holes that would be expected of a high altitude
environment.
Breckenridge Golf Club
This 27 hole course was designed by Jack Nicklaus. At an
altitude of 9600ft., your drives are propelled 15 to 20% further than at lower
altitudes.
Silverthorne
The Raven Club at Three
Peaks, designed by Alister Mackenzie,
is located in the Gore Mountain
range. The course takes you through pines, aspens and trout filled lakes.
Keystone
The River Course has a variety of terrain and elevation. The
front nine holes are near the Snake River. The back nine
offer beautiful views of Lake Dillon,
the Gore range and Buffalo Mountain.
This course was designed for all playing
abilities by Dr. Michael Hurdsan and Dana Fry,
That’s Entertainment
So, you think that you need to visit a big city for quality
entertainment? Think again. Many talented performers, who have lived and
performed in theatrical meccas such as New York City,
now make Summit County
their home. All summer long, top quality theatre troupes, orchestras, bands and
dance companies perform at various locations throughout the mountain towns.
Theatre
Breckenridge’s Backstage Theatre hosts a varied program each
summer. In 2005, Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night Dream and David Lindsay-Abaire’s
Kimberly Akimbo will play on alternating weeks.
In Dillon, the Lake Dillon Theatre Company will be showing “Who’s
Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”
Music Maestro
Be sure to check out the Breckenridge Music Festival at the Riverwalk
Center. The summer 2005 schedule
features the National Repertory Orchestra, George Winston and other talented
artists. All types of music can be heard at the various summer festivals and
the Dillon Amphitheatre.
The Breckenridge Film Festival
Can’t afford to go to Cannes?
Think about Breckenridge! Every September, the Breckenridge Film Fest is hosted
by nationally-known film critic and WNBC-TV commentator Jeffrey Lyons. The
program features a unique array of films, receptions and film education
programs.
