Garfield County sits in the heart of the Colorado River valley, where the terrain shifts dramatically from the wide agricultural flats around New Castle to the red-rock canyon walls and sage-covered mesas that define this stretch of western Colorado. It's a landscape that rewards any round of golf with scenery that simply doesn't exist in most parts of the country — the Elk Mountains to the east, open sky in every direction, and that high-desert quality of light that makes late-afternoon rounds feel almost cinematic.
New Castle itself is a small, working community on the I-70 corridor between Glenwood Springs and Rifle, part of a region better known for outdoor recreation than for golf tourism. That context matters: a course here serves its locals first, offering genuine everyday access to mountain-west golf without the resort pricing that dominates Vail or Aspen to the east.
The name Lakota Links evokes the open, wind-influenced style of a links-influenced layout, suggesting a design that leans on natural contours and exposed terrain rather than heavy tree cover — a sensible approach given the high-desert environment surrounding New Castle.
