Press Release
City of Aspen to host open house on 2026 golf passes
ASPEN, CO — Aspen’s municipal golf course is preparing for the 2026 season and making changes aimed at improving access, fairness, and value for local golfers. An open house will be held Thursday, Jan. 15 from 4-6 p.m. at City Hall to educate the public about the changes.
To prioritize availability for golfers, the Aspen Golf Club continues to focus on serving primary residents — those with a local driver’s license or state ID reflecting a local zip code. Primary resident verification for the 2026 golf season occurs throughout January.
Residents who wish to be eligible to purchase a 2026 golf pass must complete the primary resident verification form available at aspengolf.com by noon on Jan. 30. Eligible applicants will receive instructions on how to purchase a pass.
Verified primary resident golf passes will be available for purchase beginning at noon on Feb. 16 through noon on Feb. 20. Quantities are limited and all sales are final. Any remaining passes will go on sale to the general public at noon on March 9.
To improve tee time access, the Aspen Golf Club is reducing the total number of golf passes available in 2026 and limiting the number of reservations each passholder may hold within the booking window. These changes are designed to create more availability and flexibility for all golfers.
To help the community learn more about these changes and ask questions, the city of Aspen will host a public open house on Jan. 15 from 4-6 p.m. in City Council Chambers, located on the third floor of City Hall at 427 Rio Grande Place.
