The Vail Recreation District will begin selling season golf passes Monday, April 1 at the Vail Golf Club. Pass sales will be available for purchase from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, April 1-15 and then 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 15 to May 15 at the Vail Golf Club. The golf club is scheduled to open May 15, weather permitting. Affordable rates will be offered throughout the season, including reduced rates for season passes and punch cards purchased by May 15. The reduced rates are in effect in 2009 to offset minimal impacts golfers may experience during the club's irrigation renovation this summer. During the irrigation work, golfers can expect a minimum of 17 holes available for play at all times (once all 18 holes are available). There are two punch card options and four season pass options available for 2009.
10 OR 20 ROUND PASSES
Those who purchase 10 and 20 round passes by May 15 will receive five free small range ball bags and a one-time, 30 percent discount ($90 maximum) off all soft goods purchased in the Vail Golf Club pro shop. The 10 and 20 round passes are a reduced rate of $100 over 2008 and are transferable, but restricted during peak season play.
