For golf enthusiasts looking to invest in a home in the Roaring Fork Valley, there are several premier golf communities offering new construction and developable land. Prices vary widely depending on location, amenities, and exclusivity, with homes ranging from under $1M in Ironbridge to over $25M near the Aspen Golf Club.
For buyers seeking new construction homes in a golf community at a more attainable price point, Ironbridge offers excellent value. Homes in this family-friendly neighborhood range from $870K to $1.8M, making it one of the most affordable golf communities in the Roaring Fork Valley. The Ironbridge Golf Club, designed by Arthur Hills, offers stunning mountain views, a well-maintained course, and a welcoming atmosphere.
Located just outside Carbondale, Aspen Glen is known for its Jack Nicklaus-designed championship golf course and breathtaking views of Mount Sopris. Developed homes here range from $2.75M to $4.15M, and for those looking to build their dream home, raw land parcels are available in the $400Ks. This gated community offers exclusive amenities, including a clubhouse, fitness center, and private fishing access on the Roaring Fork River.
River Valley Ranch (RVR) is another sought-after Carbondale golf community, featuring homes priced between $2M and $4M+. A few developable land parcels are still available, ranging from $450K to $1M. With its Jay Morrish-designed golf course, miles of walking trails, and a strong sense of community, RVR is a great choice for both full-time residents and second-home owners.
For those looking for an ultra-exclusive golf community, the Roaring Fork Club in Basalt is one of the most coveted locations in the valley. However, inventory has been extremely limited in recent years. Over the last two years, only two homes have sold, one for $15M and another for $6.5M. The private course and club amenities attract high-net-worth individuals looking for a private, luxury golf retreat.
For those seeking high-end golf properties in Aspen, Maroon Creek Club is among the most prestigious golf communities in the area. Home prices here have ranged from $17M to $23M, while a developable land parcel recently sold for $11.5M. The Tom Fazio-designed course, ski-in/ski-out access to Tiehack, and an exclusive clubhouse make this one of Aspen’s premier private golf communities.
Homes surrounding the Aspen Golf Club, particularly along Cemetery Lane, are some of the most desirable in the valley. Prices here range from $15M to $25M, offering direct golf course access with spectacular views of Aspen Mountain. These properties are ideal for those who want to be close to both downtown Aspen and outdoor recreation, making them a top choice for luxury buyers.
If you're looking for fractional ownership opportunities, the Snowmass Club Residences offer seasonal stays in a premier golf and country club setting. Unlike other communities, these properties cannot be purchased outright, but they do offer a luxury golf lifestyle with flexible, seasonal home ownership.
The Roaring Fork Valley offers a diverse range of golf communities, from more attainable homes in Ironbridge to ultra-exclusive estates in Aspen. Whether you're looking for a new construction home or a developable lot, there are still opportunities available in these sought-after locations. However, inventory remains limited, particularly in high-demand communities like the Roaring Fork Club and Maroon Creek Club.
