STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, COLORADO-April 16, 2026- Despite Mother Nature’s wintry reminder and an 85% chance of snow in the forecast, Haymaker Golf Course will open for its 29th season of play on Sunday, April 19, adjusting from the previously announced Friday opening.
“Opening day is always special, and we’re ready for another great season of golf at one of the best public courses in the state but just a few days later than we anticipated,” said Head Golf Professional Cody Hasten. “The course is in excellent shape, and our team is prepared to deliver the top-level service and attention to detail Haymaker is known for.”
Online tee time reservations are now available at haymakergolf.com, where punch cards can also be purchased. The golf shop is open daily until 5 pm and will transition to full seasonal hours on opening day. Players can also warm up or sharpen their game at The Fringe Golf Simulator, offering practice sessions, virtual rounds on more than 250 courses, and professional instruction.
A new mobile app designed to improve the experience on and off the course steps up to the tee this season for players. Users can book tee times, access course information, register for tournaments or lessons, and use on-course features like GPS, live scoring, and food and beverage ordering from the clubhouse. The app also provides staff updates and is now available in the Apple and Android app stores by searching Haymaker.
Your 19th Hole, Haymaker Patio Grill, is serving up a culinary experience just as inviting as a day on the course. Destination Hospitality, known for acclaimed concepts such as Aurum and Table 79, returns with a refreshed seasonal menu and weekly events at the clubhouse. Designed tantalizing the tastebuds, the dining experience brings elevated flavors and a welcoming atmosphere that make the Patio Grill a true summer destination in its own right.
Consistently ranked among Colorado’s top public golf destinations, Haymaker Golf Course was named Colorado’s Best Mountain Course for 2025 by Colorado Avid Golfer and ranked among the top courses you can play in Colorado by Golfweek.
In addition, Haymaker continues its commitment to environmental stewardship as a certified Audubon International Signature Program facility, maintaining high standards that protect the natural landscape and wildlife across the property.
Owned by the City of Steamboat Springs, the 233-acre championship course features multiple tee boxes on each hole, ranging from 5,059 to 7,308 yards. Designed as a “core layout,” the course showcases large greens, gentle undulations, and sweeping views of the Yampa Valley, offering an accessible yet challenging experience for golfers of all skill levels.
