On Monday, July 21, 2025, set your sights on a morning of meaningful play, beautiful views, and unforgettable camaraderie as YMCA of the Rockies hosts its signature Snow Mountain Ranch Golf Outing at Pole Creek Golf Course in Tabernash, Colorado. This annual summer tradition blends a love of the game with a deeper mission: to make the outdoors accessible and affordable for all.
With 18 holes of championship golf, stunning alpine scenery, and a community of friendly competitors, the outing is more than a tournament—it’s a chance to give back, connect, and enjoy the Colorado high country in peak form.
Where Purpose Meets the Putting Green
This isn’t just another round of golf. Every swing, drive, and birdie goes toward supporting YMCA of the Rockies’ mission to provide outdoor experiences for individuals and families of all backgrounds. Proceeds from the event help remove financial barriers so more people can connect with nature, each other, and themselves through meaningful time outdoors.
Whether you’re a scratch golfer or someone who only dusts off the clubs once a year, you’ll find this event welcoming, uplifting, and refreshingly laid-back. The focus? Enjoying the game while doing good.
What’s Included with Registration
Golfers will enjoy a seamless experience from arrival to the final hole. Registration includes:
- 18 holes of golf on one of Colorado’s premier mountain courses
- Golf cart access for cruising the course in comfort
- Range balls to warm up before you tee off
- A light lunch to refuel after your round
- Door prizes that add an extra spark to the day
It’s the kind of event where you’ll walk away with new connections, great memories, and maybe even some new gear or prizes—all while supporting a worthy cause.
A Course with Mountain Majesty
The outing is hosted at Pole Creek Golf Course, a scenic gem nestled in Tabernash and consistently ranked as one of Colorado’s top public courses. With three distinct nines—Ranch, Meadow, and Ridge—Pole Creek offers a challenging yet rewarding round framed by forests, wildflowers, and panoramic mountain views.
Wide fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and perfectly manicured greens make the course a favorite for both competitive players and relaxed duffers. And with elevations ranging from 8,600 to 8,800 feet, every shot feels just a little more heroic (and might even fly a little farther).
Whether you’re admiring the Continental Divide or lining up your next putt, the course makes every moment on the green one to savor.
A Community Coming Together
The Snow Mountain Ranch Golf Outing isn’t just about golf—it’s about community. Each year, locals, YMCA staff, supporters, and businesses gather for a relaxed, friendly event that strengthens bonds and builds awareness around the power of outdoor access.
Conversations flow as easily as the swings. There’s plenty of laughter, encouragement, and the kind of sportsmanship that reminds you why you love this game in the first place.
Plus, it’s a great opportunity to meet others who care deeply about the outdoors, inclusivity, and the experiences that change lives—whether on a hiking trail, in a summer camp cabin, or during a round of golf under the summer sun.
Why This Event Matters
YMCA of the Rockies is known for offering year-round programs that bring families, youth, and individuals closer to nature. Through scholarships, financial aid, and inclusive programming, the organization ensures that cost isn’t a barrier to enjoying everything the outdoors has to offer.
By participating in this golf outing, you’re directly contributing to that mission. You’re helping a single parent send their child to summer camp, making it possible for a family to spend time together in the mountains, and providing young people with transformative outdoor experiences.
It’s a morning of golf—and a lifetime of impact.
Turn a Day on the Course into a Full Getaway at The Jabberwocky
After a beautiful morning on the greens and a light lunch with fellow supporters, continue your day the Colorado way with a relaxing stay at The Jabberwocky in nearby Winter Park.
