Fox Acres- One of Colorado's Hidden Golf Gems- About an hour drive northwest of Ft. Collins is one of my favorite summer getaways, Red Feather Lakes a prime camping hot spot for northern Coloradoans for decades, and as popular as Red Feather Lakes is to many of its regular visitors, very few are aware of one of Colorado's really hidden gems, Fox Acres. Fox Acres may be one of Colorado’s best kept secrets. I personally stumbled upon the course while camping nearly 30 years ago, while taking my motorcycle for a spin I came across this beautiful grassy knoll, it really seemed out of place. I really believed I had found heaven on earth. I hopped off my bike and started walking up the grass just when a golf ball rolled up to me feet and a ranger came scurrying up beh
ind me, not a Park Ranger, but a golf course ranger, I quickly apologized and hopped back on my bike and left. I believe this quote by Carrie Harney, director of marketing speaks volumes about the area “Fox Acres is home to some of the most beautiful land in all of America. This country club community is nothing less than magical, from its flowering meadows to its streams and woodlands. Living here is like living nowhere else.”
The private gated community of Fox Acres is home to one of Colorado's Top Ten private golf courses. Nestled onto 460 pristine acres and set deep in the Roosevelt National Forest, the Fox Acres community is small, private, and intimate and maintains an easygoing charm, and it is designed to remain that way. The community is located one mile from Red Feather Lakes Village, a small mountain community. You'll find amenities such as restaurants and a public library here. Country stores offer groceries, gasoline and sporting goods. Public lake fishing and boating is available in the Village area.
Amenities at the private par 71 John Cochran designed championship course include, a private, gated community with 24-hour security,
dining and social activities, unlimited fly-fishing on 13 stocked lakes where you'll have the chance to catch your share of Colorado native rainbow, brown, brook, steelhead and cutthroat trout, tennis courts, non-golf and ladies events, private corporate meeting areas as well as on-site lodging. All around you rise the rugged peaks of the majestic Rockies. Meadows, streams, and woodlands run through its valleys, where you can hike, bike, and pursue countless other activities. In addition to golf at the Fox Acres Country Club there is tennis, playground, Vita-Course Fitness Trail, and rental units available for Members and their Guests.
Although Real Estate at www.FoxAcres.com is limited to approximately 250 homes, there are 49 currently active properties starting in price from the mid $300Ks and topping out at $1.475M, many with views of the golf course, lakes, and mountains.
