Maroon Creek Club

The Fazio design opens with four holes over a former working ranch bordered by native sagebrush before climbing through alpine meadows, a canyon wall, and along Maroon Creek and a ravine for the remaining fourteen. Water (creeks and ponds) comes into play on twelve holes; the course's signature hole is widely cited as the par-3 7th, a 196-yard elevated tee shot to a sloped green guarded by a creek. The club has been recognized among Platinum Clubs of America.

Full membership requires an initiation fee reported at roughly $250,000 with annual dues around $38,600 and a waiting list -- figures reported consistently in news coverage and membership-cost aggregators but not published by the club itself. Homeownership in the surrounding community does not include or require membership. Separately, because the club's land is ground-leased from the City of Aspen, its lease obligates it to sell a limited amount of local play outside the membership: Aspen Golf Club season pass-holders get one round per season at Maroon Creek, and qualifying working Pitkin County residents can get up to five rounds per season at a rate capped relative to the municipal course's tourist rate. This local-access mechanism is a lease-driven public-accommodation obligation, not a homeowner or membership benefit, and a 2022 court ruling confirming the club counts as a "public accommodation" under Aspen's anti-discrimination law for member-dispute purposes should not be read as opening general public access to the club.

The residential community was master-planned in the 1980s around roughly 48 single-family home sites plus about 35 condo/townhome units on three larger lots, built out over subsequent decades into one of the Aspen area's most exclusive addresses, with home values now spanning roughly $6 million (townhomes) to as much as $40 million (large estates).

Beyond golf, the club offers a fitness center, swimming pool, and a clubhouse with dining, plus a significant tennis program (8 outdoor Har-Tru courts and 4 indoor Har-Tru courts) and 4 pickleball courts.

Located on Aspen's southern edge along Maroon Creek Road, a short drive from downtown Aspen and adjacent to Buttermilk Mountain, within the core Aspen submarket of the Roaring Fork Valley.
