Golf: Paa-ko Ridge 27-hole public golf course is situated just off our balcony, at elevations ranging from 6,500 to 7,000 feet. The layout of the course features landing areas and greens separated by arroyos, native vegetation, and rock outcroppings. Each hole in the upscale course has five sets of tees allowing play from 5,702 to 7,562 yards, and many of the holes play downhill through ponderosa, pinon and juniper. Pro tips for each hole can be found on the virtual tour.
All holes feature spectacular high-desert and mountain views, strong golf-shot values and a serenity not often found anymore. We are thrilled to be one of the most award-winning public access courses ever to open in the U.S. We are even more thrilled when our visitors tell us their experience exceeded the hype
The Grille at Paa-Ko Ridge features a complete menu with offerings for breakfast, lunch, and casual dinner along with a full service bar for your favorite libation. Operating hours will vary with the season but will typically be from 7AM to 7PM.
