Garden of the Gods Resort and Club in Colorado Springs just launched a Stay & Play deal — enhancing an already sublime stay at this AAA Four-Diamond Resort overlooking Colorado Springs’ Pikes Peak and namesake Garden of the Gods Park, featuring a 27-hole championship golf course.
In addition to an overnight stay in a newly-remodeled guest room (all of which have an unrestricted mountain view), the deal includes, for each night of a guest’s stay:
- A one-hour session with a Titleist Performance Institute-certified instructor
- 18 holes of golf with a cart
With Colorado Springs’ temperate climate, beginners and pros alike can get in on a good round of golf with the new package at virtually any point of the year. Strata, the resort’s on-site wellness center, encompassing a spa and med spa, is the perfect place to recover after a day on the green, with cutting edge eastern-meets-western therapies, as well as more traditional massages and detox treatments.
We’d be remiss not to mention the heated signature infinity pool — awaiting golfers between rounds!
Colorado Springs is a fantastic fit for last-minute spring break trips or a friends’ getaway weekend roundup (in addition to standard hotel rooms, casitas ranging from one to three-bedroom luxury properties each have a private patio and outdoor fireplace — perfect for larger groups).
Garden of the Gods Resort and Club’s course is lined with towering pines, and each green offers stunning views of America’s Mountain, Pikes Peak, framed by vast evergreen forests and towering mountains. Highlighted by the rock formations of Garden of the Gods, a National Natural Landmark, the signature rocks on display from the course are accompanied by a fall palette of golds, red-browns, and orange. Here’s why Kissing Camels is the premier stay & play experience in the mountains:
Expert lessons: The resort offers golf performance programs, professional instruction and even custom club-fitting with PGA Professionals; all skill levels welcome.
Shop: Kissing Camels Golf Shop stocks unique Colorado brands like Pins & Aces, plus the greats including Callaway, TaylorMade and Titleist.
Food & Drink: Newly renovated Kissing Camels Grille & Bar just reopened as a luxe sports bar with pristine views of the fairways and greens, paired with custom burgers, prime rib, and several other chef-inspired features. Grand View, the resort’s premiere dining venue, also offers breakfast, lunch and dinner at the main resort campus, alongside a new altitude-friendly Dry Bar.
Stay: The AAA Four-Diamond Resort and Membership Club underwent a transformative $40M total property renovation last summer. Perched atop a mesa, the resort boasts 116 rooms and suites across the lodge, and one-, two- and three-bedroom residential cottages and casitas. Amenities include six indoor/outdoor tennis and pickleball courts, three swimming pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center with weekly instructor-led classes, elegant meeting and event space, and four dining venues.
Spa Recovery: Ideal for recharging and rejuvenating after a day at the links, the 31,000 square-foot Strata is the state’s preeminent leader for whole person health care, complete with a spa, salon, and med spa with acupuncture, massage, IV therapies, and more – from cardiology to nutrition services. And don’t miss a soak in the ever-picturesque, heated infinity pool – open 365 days a year and recognized by Trip Advisor as one of the world’s best infinity pools
