CORDILLERA RESTAURANTS

Cordillera Cafe

The Cafe is located at the Cordillera Town Center, in the community Post Office building. This unique stop was originally designed as a market and coffee shop for the Cordillera community and has since evolved to offer breakfast and lunch, catering, a gourmet market, and unique special event opportunities. The restaurant and market also boasts a 75-seat patio – perfect for a peaceful meal or snack.

Grouse on the Green

Grouse on the Green offers a truly authentic Irish pub-style experience—the interior was designed in Ireland and shipped to Cordillera for installation. The menu features classic foods such as shepherd’s pie and fish and chips, as well as Continental cuisine with a Colorado twist and a wide variety of microbrew beers.

Mirador

Offering spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains, Mirador tempts diners with regional fare and seasonal specialties created by renowned chef Fabrice Beaudoin. An extensive wine list combined with an innovative menu and beautiful scenery – inside and out - create a truly memorable experience.

Timber Hearth Grille

Timber Hearth Grille offers inspired American cuisine with a Western flair, including menu items such as veal chops stuffed with proscuitto. A variety of starters and a comprehensive list of French and California wines complement the menu, along with the three-story river rock fireplace, cozy furniture and picture windows overlooking the golf course. Horse-drawn sleigh rides are available during the winter season.

CORDILLERA WINTER ACTIVITIES

Winter activities include downhill and cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, dog sledding, and horse-drawn sleigh rides. Property owners and their guests also have access to the Cordillera Vail Club at the base of Vail mountain, which features a ski concierge, equipment storage and food and beverage service.

CORDILLERA SUMMER ACTIVITIES

Activities available during the summer include golf, hiking, horseback riding, private fly-fishing, whitewater rafting, four-wheel adventures, tennis, and sporting clays.

CORDILLERA VAIL CLUB

Cordillera’s newest property owner amenity opens March 1st 2007. The Cordillera Vail Club is a year-round private club located in Vail Village at the top of Bridge Street, steps from the base of Vail Mountain. The Cordillera Vail Club is designed to provide members and Cordillera property owners with the most convenient locale for experiencing the array of exciting events the Town of Vail has to offer. This handsome club offers a warm, welcoming retreat with ample storage, stunning views and exceptional access to both the village and the mountain. All of Cordillera's property owners, members and non-members alike, will benefit from access to this quality recreational and social amenity.

CORDILLERA GOLF CLUB

Cordillera features four championship golf courses, designed by the greatest names in golf – Jack Nicklaus, Hale Irwin, Tom Fazio and Dave Pelz. Challenging courses, breathtaking scenery and topnotch facilities make Cordillera one of the world’s premier golf destinations. Cordillera’s four courses are private, however guests of the Lodge & Spa at Cordillera may play during their stay.

The Mountain Course

7,413 yards, par 72, elevation 8,250 feet Open from June through September A Hale Irwin Signature Design inspired by the undulating terrain and postcard setting, the Mountain Course is simply exhilarating. Capturing the feel of the landscape was especially important to Hale Irwin, who grew up in Colorado. The three-time U.S. Open champion was committed to preserving the area's inherent natural qualities, while creating an extraordinary course. Formerly a working ranch, the land spans ridges, meadows and forests, which bring into play a variety of challenges.

The Summit Course

7,530 yards, par 72, elevation 9,000 feet Open from June through September A Jack Nicklaus Signature Design crafted on 190 mountaintop acres at 9,000 feet, the Summit Course is an 18-hole, 7,530-yard par-72 that takes advantage of the natural, rolling terrain of sage and spruce-covered hills, with stunning views of the Rockies. Nicklaus was able to create additional open space to protect the community's natural beauty and improve hiking and recreational access to three million acres of the neighboring White River National Forest. The Valley Course: 7,005 yards, par 71, elevation 7,200 feet Open from April to October A Tom Fazio Signature Design with its high-mountain-desert topography, the Valley Course is dramatically different from the Mountain and Summit Courses. Lower in elevation by 2,100 feet and blessed with primarily southern exposure, it offers an extended playing season. Tom's goal was to incorporate the natural terrain while enhancing the beauty of the area and ensuring an abundance of open space. The course's wide-open fairways do just that.

The Short Course

1,252 yards, par 27, elevation 7,800 feet Open from June through September A Dave Pelz Signature Design, the Short Course is one of two in the world. It integrates Dave's own short game philosophy. Each hole is less than 130 yards, but features challenging shots and tight bunkering. The ten-hole Short Course lies high on the mountain, so it provides a fabulous view of the Vail Valley. It's sophisticated enough for serious players who wish to develop a stronger short game, while providing a fun, relaxed golf experience for every ability level.
