The Master Plan
The back nine is done. The Cadillac Wanch 19th hole is built and running. The full 18-hole long course is built and ready for seasonal play — a course like this is never “done,” it's always ready for the season. Now comes full-time caretakers, the Party Barn event venue, and The Roost social club. Golf Clubhouse, Welcome Center & Store, and Glamping to follow.
📐View Construction DocumentsDevelopment Overview
The Turkey Toe Master Plan has been refined to honor both the land and its water realities. The result is a tighter, more intentional build: three permanent structures around the golf course, a custom events and shop complex, and a glamping area — all in service of an unforgettable mountain experience.
The original five-phase feasibility plan has been refined into a tighter, more intentional build. What remains is the best of the vision — built right, built to last.
Final Plan — Golf Map, 18 Holes at 8,040 ft
The confirmed Turkey Toe build plan: 18-hole golf course with hole names, par, and yardage, built around the four numbered zones marked directly on the map above — one already built and open today, three still to come.
Zone 1 — Built & Open Today
The Back Nine
The original 59-acre property — the historic 1936 Homestead, the Short Course, the Braveheart driving range, the Cadillac Wanch 19th Hole, the original Gebben Shop, the Wanch House, and the standalone sleeping & hangout spaces. Every one of these is live and bookable now — see the full breakdown on The Grounds.
Note — the Long Course isn't confined to Zone 1. The full 18-hole Wanch Golf Long Course is already built and ready for seasonal play, but it stretches across the entire property — crossing through the future Zone 2–4 land as it goes. The Back Nine (Zone 1) is specifically the original homestead, the Short Course, Braveheart, and the 19th Hole — not the full course footprint.

Night Lighting — Dark Sky Compliant
Westcliffe sits in one of Colorado's designated dark sky corridors. All exterior lighting at Turkey Toe is designed to point downward — warm amber tones, shielded fixtures, and no upward spill. String lights on the covered deck, wall sconces at the barn doors, low ground fixtures ringing the putting green, and interior glow through the windows keep the night alive without touching the sky above. The crescent moon and stars stay yours.
Design History
Vision Slideshow — The Roost & Caretaker Archive
The Roost vision rendering, plus archived caretaker renderings from the original single-structure design. The caretaker slides are labeled Archive — they show the earlier concept when the shop was attached to the modular house. The build has since been redesigned as two separate structures. Looking for the practice area or glamping concept? See Zone 2E — Outdoor Practice Area or Zone 3 — Glamping Area.

Vision to Reality
Every structure at Turkey Toe starts with AI-guided design. When it's built, we put the real version right next to it. This is what it looks like when vision becomes real.
Cadillac Wanch — 19th Hole Stage
AI rendering guided the design. The Cadillac Wanch stage is built and ready for primetime — “Have As Much Fun As Possible” carved right into it. Now hosting the full 5-piece band live, under the mountains, dusk to dark.
