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 scaled back. Water availability on the property does not support the full phased buildout. 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 Club House) 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.
Expanded Site Plan — June 2026 Feasibility Study
The original expanded feasibility plan by Root Architecture & Development. This phased buildout is not moving forward due to county input and water availability on the property. Retained here for reference.

The Turkey Toe Retreat — modern mountain design with wrap-around deck and stunning Sangre de Cristo views.
Welcome Center
The first impression of Turkey Toe. The welcome center anchors the entry experience — orienting guests, handling check-in, and connecting the golf course to the wider grounds.
Golf Clubhouse
The social hub of Turkey Toe Links — built around the golf course and designed for post-round gathering, drinks, and the kind of stories that never get old.
- • Simulator, bar, sauna, locker rooms, game tables
- • Greg Gebben Western Library
- • 30 guest capacity • 2,750 SF
Golf Club House
2,750 SF — 30 Guest Capacity • Simulator, Bar, Sauna, Locker Rooms, Game Tables
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. No cookie-cutter venue. The Shop anchors the complex with equipment, retail, and operational support.
- • Custom outdoor event grounds
- • Shop & equipment storage
- • Upper hangout area
- – Library
- – Workout area
- – Fun zone
Note: The original five-phase master plan has been scaled back. Water availability on the property does not support the full phased buildout. The event grounds are entirely custom — no standard phases apply. Phase 1 (Caretaker Zone) is locked in and construction begins May 2026. All other structures are subject to Special Use Permit and Custer County approvals.
The 19th Hole
Where every round ends and every story begins. The 19th Hole is the heart of Turkey Toe Links — a seasonal glampsite and gathering space that captures the spirit of Wanch Golf.
