Thinking About Living in Telluride Golf Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Telluride Golf Club and the surrounding Western Slope golf market.
Telluride Golf Club sits inside Mountain Village at 9,417 feet of elevation, teeing off higher than all but a handful of golf courses anywhere in the world -- a genuine, sourced differentiator for a golf-oriented buyer rather than marketing language. The 18-hole, par-70 course is woven into the same alpine terrain as the Telluride ski area, and access to it runs entirely through the Telluride Ski & Golf Club: an integrated, two-in-one ski and golf membership rather than a golf-only club. Play is limited to members, their guests, and guests of The Peaks Resort & Spa, which anchors the golf and ski base -- there is no walk-up public access.
The clearest residential tie found in research is specific rather than market-wide: fractional deeded ownership at the Fairmont Heritage Place Franz Klammer Lodge, a Mountain Village property, comes with a Ski & Golf Club membership included in the deed for as long as it is held. That is a real, sourced example of golf access bundled to a residential (if fractional) purchase in this market. It should not be generalized to every home or condo in Mountain Village -- no evidence was found either confirming or ruling out similar bundling at other Mountain Village addresses, and that gap is exactly the kind of thing a buyer should confirm directly with any specific property before assuming club access comes with it.
Golf & Course
The course plays to a par of 70 across 6,574 yards, set within what the club describes as the highest concentration of 13,000- and 14,000-foot peaks in the continental U.S. Course architect/design-history detail was not confirmed within this research session's budget and is left `not_researched` rather than guessed.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Golf access requires Telluride Ski & Golf Club membership (the club functions as a combined ski-and-golf membership, not a golf-only one), a guest of a member, or a guest of The Peaks Resort & Spa. No public pay-to-play access was found. Membership pricing (initiation fee, annual dues, waitlist status) is not published on the club's own site and was not found elsewhere -- treat as a direct-inquiry item.
Living in Telluride Golf Club
Mountain Village is a resort-residential base area built around the Telluride gondola, ski terrain, and this golf course, mixing hotel-branded fractional/whole-ownership properties (like the Fairmont Heritage Place Franz Klammer Lodge), condos, and single-family homes. The one specific, sourced residential-golf bundling example is the Franz Klammer Lodge's fractional deeded ownership, which includes Ski & Golf Club membership. Broader Mountain Village home-purchase-to-membership patterns were not confirmed.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Ski & Golf Club members get two private clubhouses (locker rooms, showers, complimentary coffee/pastries), spa privileges at The Peaks Resort & Spa, and -- at the Platinum tier -- transferable ski passes and unlimited spa access alongside full golf access.
Location & Surrounding Area
Mountain Village sits above and adjacent to the town of Telluride in San Miguel County, connected by a free public gondola; the golf course and ski base occupy the same alpine bowl.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm directly with any specific Mountain Village property (condo, home, or fractional interest) whether Ski & Golf Club membership is included, purchasable separately, or unrelated -- do not assume the Franz Klammer Lodge pattern applies elsewhere.
- Confirm current membership pricing, initiation fee, and any waitlist status directly with the Telluride Ski & Golf Club -- not published on its public site.
- Confirm the course's designer/architect and year of construction with the club directly; not resolved in this research pass.
