Stratton Golf Club

Stratton Golf Club is a nine-hole public course in Kit Carson County, Colorado. The par-34 layout plays 2,663 yards. Several holes feature blind tee shots, but the wide-open fairways are forgiving enough to keep higher-handicap players in the game. A round takes about two hours and costs $15; no carts are offered.

The course is conveniently located along I-70 in eastern Colorado, making it a worthwhile break for road-trippers crossing the plains. Stratton sits about 150 miles east of Colorado Springs. No driving range is on site, but the low slope and generous fairways make warm-up shots less critical here than at more demanding layouts.
