About Raton Golf Course
Raton Golf Course is a public 9-hole layout that opened in 1919, set in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Additional tee boxes allow the course to be played as a full 18 holes.
The design places a premium on accuracy, with small greens, sloping fairways and water hazards calling for a variety of clubs. Golfzon simulators are available for indoor play, and the sloped, tree-lined mountain terrain also accommodates a disc golf course.
