First let's start with a few basics to improve your golf swing:

1) Grip

2) Posture

3) Pivot

4) Coordination

5) Body Alignment

6) Fox Acres Mountain Resort Community!

Yes! FOX ACRES MOUNTAIN RESORT COMMUNITY in Red Feather Lakes, CO. (I'll admit, I can't help you with the rest of the list.)

and, simply living in Fox Acres won’t improve your swing but certainly getting on the course in just a matter of seconds and playing every day will.

The golf balls fly a bit farther here too!

At approximately 8300 feet in elevation , the Red Feather Lakes climate is perfect for all summer outdoor activities like horseback riding, hiking, tennis, fly fishing and of course, working on that swing.

Fox Acres’ 18 hole, par 71 championship golf course is challenging and beautiful; punctuated with mountain views, 15 shimmering lakes, forest and rock outcroppings - Just walk out your door and get on the course.

You don’t have to play golf to appreciate the natural beauty of this mountain community nestled in the Roosevelt National Forest in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. Rejuvenate in these peaceful surroundings, enjoy fly fishing for trophy trout in the resort lakes, relax on the outdoor patio at the clubhouse, get a bite to eat at The Grille or just take a walk through the beautifully designed landscapes.

Currently there are 23 homes available in Fox Acres*, 14 townhome style and 9 single family residences, priced from $149,900 for a 1595 square foot townhome (REO) to a 2901 square foot custom home offered at $1.3M.

Peaceful settings and amazing views abound.

All have main floor master bedrooms, 2 car garages (except 1)- some even 3 car garages and extra space for your golf cart.

Fox Acres is a special place on earth, like no other.

Maybe you don’t need to improve your golf swing but living in Fox Acres will definitely improve your lifestyle.

Can you prove it, Mary? LOL? I haven't been over here for a while and love your new photo! Pink looks good on you!! And hey, that $149,000 REO townhome sounds awfully enticing. Why I can remember when I thought $150,000 was a lot to spend for a home and now $150,000 is so affordable sounding to me, cheap almost, LOL.

Hi Janna, I was so surprised by your progess on that personal project! Thank you Janna, I love your new photo too! I know a piece of your heart will always be here in Northern Colorado :-)

Thank you Gary, you are so kind and also correct, you need to get to Fox Acres as fast as you can! It's beautiful in all seasons, but especially nice this time of year.

Hi Elizabeth, of course, it's a scientific fact: higher altitude = less oxygen in the air = less resistance to golf balls, baseballs and um...tomahawks! :-) Thank you for the nice compliment.

That $149K is so incredibly affordable for Fox Acres- it's just plain ridiculous!

Now I do love to drive a golf cart around. I did that some on the 4th. Next year I'm doing to demand a radio and a cart of my very own for the event. I think I'm too old to stay on feet all day. When I came back... to see if you knew about the photos... I also really looked at the big honkin' rock on/by the deck. So tell me about that... Did they build the deck around it?

Jul 24, 2011 04:39 PM

Hi VB, I will have to check out your neighboring post! Thanks for stopping in and taking a look at Fox Acres, Bob.

Thank you Lou, good luck and success to you! I love your sign off. No worries about early tee times Lou, you can enjoy the course any time during the day.

Hi William, I appreciate you stopping in and taking a look, thank you! It's a pretty stunning area :-)

Hi Jane, Your golf balls wouldn't be the only ones in the bottom of the lakes! LOL Thank you Jane, when are you coming? :-)

Hi Ann, I wish you could too! I'm glad you stopped by Ann, thank you!

Thank you Sheldon, me teeing off is not nearly as funny as British Barbie, though! LOL

Tammy, you would love driving the carts here, around the rocks...through the trees...yes, they built that deck around a huge rock outcropping- isn't that something?

Mary these pictures are just beautiful. You have some golf swing!

Jul 27, 2011 07:53 AM

Hi Olga, I apologize for getting back to this post so late. Your comment made me smile, too :-) thank you!

Tammy, I have to agree, it really is pretty and the rock and deck are huge. I like it when they build around the rocks and trees and preserve as much of the natural landscape as possible.

Thank you Debra, that golf swing is something I've perfected since I was 5...(not)! HAHA

I love the pictures of the golf course. Even for us non-golfers living on a golf course provides such beautiful views. Hope you've been doing well.

Sep 03, 2011 03:07 PM

Hi Stacey-Ann, I agree the golf courses do provides such beautiful views, particulary in our area where most of the surrounding territory is in a natural habitat. Here we can enjoy groomed and manicured spectacular landscapes!
