On the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail On the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail

Robert Trent Jones has designed more than 500 golf courses around the world, many of which are listed among Golf Digest's "America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses." Jones' Alabama Golf Trail offers 378 holes stretching to over 100 miles of golf, all partaking of the natural topography. The "Trail" offers genuine championship layouts that will stand the test of time and pose major tests of golf for years to come. The rationale: No one talks about or remembers the easy courses. What lodges in a golfer's mind is the one brilliant shot that (momentarily) conquers a tough hole.  One of the most unique aspects of the Trail are the tee locations. The tee markers on the Trail are pegged to ability level, not age or gender. The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail is an incredible golfing experience for everyone. The courses will challenge the best golfers in the world, yet at the same time allow an enjoyable outing for the casual to beginning golfer.

COLORADO

Dunton Hot Springs Resort & Spa P.O. Box 818 Dolores, Colorado 81323 800-882-4800 Neither the impossible beauty of the drive beside the West Fork of the Dolores River, the road perched above haunting beaver ponds nor the dancing light through the aspen groves prepares you for the first sight of Dunton Hot Springs. A Ghost Town so lovingly restored, so honestly weathered, nestling beneath the glistening snow fields of the San Juan peaks.   Each of Dunton's guest cabins is an authentic, nineteenth century, hand-hewn log building, restored by local and Native American craftsmen who specialize in traditional building techniques. Although no two are alike, each bears a distinct individual character and history. All are furnished with custom luxury amenities, and reveal splendid views that change throughout the day with the shifting colors of sunlight on the mountains. All are less than five minutes walk to the bar, dining area, and adjoining conference facility of the saloon, the hot springs in the teepee and bath house, massage and yoga rooms in the Pony Express Spa, the bank of the West Fork of the Dolores, the waterfall, and the library. Some cabins have direct feeds from geothermal springs.  To their surprise, many visitors to Dunton find themselves so thoroughly occupied with the hot springs, massages, delicious meals, reading in the library, leisurely strolls, sentimental indulgence and conversation about the lore of the place that such activities inspire, they hardly have time for anything else.    But, for the adventurous, Dunton's situation in the midst of two national forests offers more wilderness than reasonably can be exhausted in a lifetime of hiking, riding, climbing, snow-shoeing, back country skiing, four-wheeling, fly fishing and there is also boxing for fitness in the gym and yoga and Pilates instruction.  Helicopter skiing in association with Telluride Helitrax provides for helicopters to land directly in the center of town, only steps from the saloon. From Dunton, virgin basins of deep powder are accessible in seven minutes of flying time. By car, Dunton's proximity to Telluride offers access to a world class alpine ski trails to the north. In the lower altitudes of the red rock deserts to the south, visitors to Dunton have access to many of the great Anasazi archaeological sites of the American Southwest. Dunton is also well within driving range of Monument Valley, Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, Hovenweep National Monument, Canyon of the Ancients National Monument, Mesa Verde, the Silverton Skyway, and the narrow gauge railway from Durango to Silverton.
