Edwards Golf Trip Planning Guide
Edwards sits in the heart of the Vail Valley, fifteen minutes downvalley from Vail and Beaver Creek. The public courses run cheaper than the resort towns, the rental homes are bigger, and you're still surrounded by the Gore and Sawatch ranges. A smart base for a high-country buddy trip.
