The Master Plan
A focused vision — golf course, caretaker house, welcome center, clubhouse, glamping, and an events & shop complex built for the land.
Development 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 — plus three golf course structures (Caretaker Residence & Shop, Glamping Area, Golf Clubhouse) and the custom Shop & Events complex. Westcliffe, CO.
Utility Plan
Proposed water, sewer, and electrical runs from the well location to the caretaker/shop zone and golf course facilities.

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.

What We're Building

Greg Gebben Western Library
The soul of Turkey Toe's interior spaces — Greg Gebben's curated Western library collection will be installed throughout the structures and gathering spaces. Authentic Old West volumes, vintage ranch memorabilia, and classic cowboy literature create an atmosphere where every bookshelf tells a story and every corner invites you to sit a spell longer.
Glamping Area
Situated alongside the golf course, the glamping area gives guests the full Turkey Toe experience — wake up with Sangre de Cristo views, step outside, and tee off. Tents, Airstream-style sites, and curated outdoor comfort built into the landscape.
Shop, Events & Upper Hangout
The event grounds at Turkey Toe are fully custom — open, adaptable outdoor space designed around the natural topography of the ranch. The Shop anchors the complex at ground level. Above it: 2,193 SF of mezzanine built out as a full private hangout destination.
Ground Level — Shop
- • 3-bay shop — equipment storage, tools, vehicle parking
