In the midst of all the economic turmoil, Salida is forging ahead. Friend Ranch is a Golf Community 1.5 miles west of Poncha Springs on Highway 50, or 10 miles east of Monarch Ski Resort and 7 miles west of Salida, Colorado.
Friend Ranch will offer a range of amenities including but not limited to: an 18 hole championship golf course with full service golf shop, restaurant, bar & grill, swimming pool with kid’s pool, hot tub/Jacuzzi, full service fitness center, massage rooms, members only locker rooms, two tennis courts, nature trails throughout the development, private access along one mile of the South Arkansas River, Fishing Lodge, event lawn and a Club Gazebo!
Lots in Friend Ranch are currently on the market for $150,000 to $485,000, and 32% of the lots have already been sold. Every lot purchased includes a golf membership currently valued at $25,000/fully refundable.
The golf course was designed by Ric Bucton with Redstone International. Ric has 25 years of golf course design experience. He recently designed the Rio Grande Club in South Fork, the Divide Course north of Colorado Springs, and has worked with Jay Morish on the design of Pine Canyon in Flagstaff, Tom Wieksof at The Ridge at Castle Pines, and Ben Crenshaw & Bill Coore at the Colorado Golf Club in Parker. Par for the course is 71, and preliminary design puts it at 7,048 yards long. Typical golf season on the ranch is estimated to be 9 months – April through December.
This is the only facility of its kind in the works for this area. Friend Ranch has great proximity to Denver and Colorado Springs, offers a social environment with excellent networking opportunities (very unique to this area) and the geography itself is absolutely gorgeous. Only 10 miles from Monarch Ski Resort and 7 miles from Salida means there is lots to do year round!!
