Dalton Ranch Golf Club & The Club House Restaurant
About Dalton Ranch Golf Club & The Club House Restaurant
Dalton Ranch Golf Club sits in the Animas Valley just north of Durango, spread across 270 acres at the foot of the red cliffs of the San Juan Mountains, where the terrain marks the gateway to the Rockies.
The property was once part of the Dalton Land & Cattle Company, and local lore suggests a connection to the Dalton Gang, said to have passed through the area while travelling between California and the Midwest. The surrounding valley scenery remains a defining feature of a round here.
The club also includes The Club House Restaurant.
