A new golfing development in Colorado coal country

Lakota Canyon Ranch has rekindled interest where coal was once mined in the remote, northwestern Colorado town of New Castle. Visit Glenwood, Garfield County’s main information center, says “A lot of people live in New Castle; many commute into Glenwood Springs and Aspen. It’s a nice, small community that has a golf course at Lakota Canyon Ranch, as well as hiking and biking trails.” Homes built since the turn of the 21st century line winding roads that lead to the Lakota Links golf course. Around a dozen parks and campgrounds are just around the corner, while the Rockies form a scenic backdrop. Easy access to both the highway and a local grocery store imbues Lakota Canyon Ranch with convenient amenities while also retaining a secluded, tranquil feel.

Lakota Canyon Ranch in New Castle, Colorado, is steeped in rich history, originally established as a gathering place for the Ute tribes.
