The Town of Vail is surrounded by the White River National Forest and Vail Ski Resort: home to world class skiing, biking, hiking, fishing, golfing, shopping, and dining.

Modeled on European ski towns, many of which are car-free, the town is partially pedestrianized. The Town of Vail operates the largest free shuttle bus system in the United States and has one hybrid-electric bus. With an incredibly well developed culinary center and a variety of restaurants, Vail is also developing a cultural center, with various art and music venues active throughout the summer. Ford Amphitheater hosts several key events throughout the summer.
Piney River Ranch is only a few miles north of the Vail area. “Piney” as people often refer to it, is set on the edge of Piney Lake, and nestled at the foot of the majestic Gore Range, Piney River Ranch is a private, forty-acre Rocky Mountain retreat, long known as a favorite wedding and day-trip destination. Piney is surrounded by thousands of acres of backcountry within the White River National Forest.

VAIL GOLF COURSE
Welcome to Vail Golf Course
Located in the heart of the Vail Valley, the Vail Golf Course Neighborhood is one of my favorite areas that perfectly blends the peaceful neighborhood vibe with stunning views of the majestic Gore Mountain Range mountains and proximity to Vail Village via the Golden Peak ski base area. This golf course community holds historical significance, being home to some of the valley's earliest residents who played vital roles in shaping Vail's original businesses. The neighborhood's appeal lies in its distinctive location, featuring the only bus route (aside from the Vail Village route) that conveniently drops residents at the ski school and slopes rather than the transportation center. With the shortest route among the free Vail shuttle options, this area offers enhanced convenience. In the summer, residents can effortlessly walk or bike to Vail Village, enjoying cultural events at the Ford Amphitheater, located between Vail Village and the Vail Golf Course, in addition to everything Vail and Lionshead have to offer. The Vail Golf Course is one of the best public golf courses in the United States and boasts the Gore Creek meandering throughout with dramatic Gore Range views. The golf course turns into an incredible cross-country ski area in the wintertime and the clubhouse doubles as a restaurant plus event venue with the same dramatic views.
The Vail Golf Course real estate stands as some of the most coveted property in the Vail Valley, offering a unique blend of convenience while providing the peace and tranquility of a small neighborhood, and all with a rich historical legacy.
