Adam's Rib Ranch announces opening doors to its grand Clubhouse

EAGLE, Colo. -- Adam's Rib Ranch, home of the premier, private Adam's Mountain Country Club, in Eagle, Colorado, has opened the doors to its grand Clubhouse, featuring The Spa at Adam's Mountain Country Club. Nestled in a secluded valley and surrounded by hundreds of acres of protected wildlands, Adam's Rib Ranch is an exclusive golf and ranch community that sits upon 1,662 acres of pristine land, offering custom homes, spacious homesites and panoramic views of snow-capped peaks.

Recently named one of the "Top Ten Colorado Golf Communities" by Fairway Living magazine, Adam's Rib Ranch features an 18-hole championship Tom Weiskopf-designed golf course, personalized concierge service and access to the world's best mountain recreation. Surrounded by acres of federal wildlands, with fly-fishing and a future on-site state-of-the-art equestrian center, Adam's Rib Ranch provides an incomparable way of life that feels remote and secluded, yet provides a family-friendly atmosphere.

The 40,471-square-foot Clubhouse is the headquarters of the 300-acre Weiskopf golf course. Weiskopf's unparalleled vision and emphasis on indigenous landscaping, have come together to create a breathtaking golf course that inspires and challenges even the most seasoned player. This spectacular mountain course in the heart of the Vail Valley features eight lakes, a driving range, practice chipping and putting areas, and ten holes play around, or are adjacent to water. Open to both residents and non-residents, golf membership is not contingent on real estate ownership and will allow for 390 total memberships, featuring access to all Clubhouse and golf course amenities.

The Clubhouse serves as the heart of the Adam's Rib Ranch community, centrally and conveniently located by the member cottages, swimming pool, tennis court and the multi-purpose sports court. With warm colors, cozy textiles, and vaulted ceilings, this mountain masterpiece creates an inviting and homelike atmosphere. This home-away-from-home includes the restaurant and member lounges, spa facilities, bar, private dining room, state-of-the-art fitness center, men's and women's locker rooms, and the golf shop. The ambiance is enhanced with large fireplaces and extensive timber work throughout the building.

"Our goal is to establish Adam's Rib Ranch as the premier luxury community and private club in the Rocky Mountains. With a world-class Clubhouse and additional facilities such as the Tom Weiskopf-designed golf course, a future equestrian center and endless fishing, we are able to offer our homeowners and club members a variety of top notch activities and amenities," said Joe Cranston, general manager of Adam's Rib Ranch. "And the spa will no doubt be a favorite feature of guests after a day spent enjoying the surrounding Rocky Mountains."

Guests of the Clubhouse are greeted by a 24-foot bronze sculpture of an eagle, the symbol of the community. Designed by internationally-acclaimed artist Lorenzo Ghiglieri from Wilsonville, Ore., this astonishing eagle inspires awe. Ghiglieri's impressive career has included creating artwork for the Vatican, White House, Kremlin and Royal Palace.
