If you plan to play, call ahead to reserve tee times and confirm lessons or club rentals; the resort’s golf dining option, Gates Grille, serves lunch and dinner and is tied to the golf experience.

Where to play: tennis and pickleball

The resort’s materials confirm courts for casual play; specific information about scheduled drills or private lessons for tennis and pickleball is not listed in the dossier, so contact the resort’s recreation desk to ask about lesson availability, clinics, and court reservations.

Best times to play and practical tips
Colorado Springs weather affects outdoor play — summer afternoons can bring mountain thunderstorms, so early morning or late afternoon rounds/matches are often more reliable. Shoulder seasons (May–June and September–October) generally offer comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds.
Bring sunscreen, a hat, and layered clothing; high-elevation sun is stronger and temperatures can change quickly. If you intend to use lessons or rentals, reserve them in advance.
- Peak season: summer for outdoor play; expect higher demand
- Better windows: early morning or late afternoon to avoid storms and heat
- Packing tip: high-elevation sun protection and layers for temperature swings
| Season | Play notes |
|---|---|
| Summer | Warm days, afternoon thunderstorms possible |
| Shoulder seasons (May–June, Sep–Oct) | Comfortable temps, fewer crowds |
| Winter | Outdoor play may be limited by weather; verify court and course availability |

The resort has several on-site dining options near activity areas: Gates Grille (lunch & dinner, linked to the golf/course experience), Elevations Lounge (drinks and Colorado-inspired bites), Mountain View Restaurant (breakfast buffet with terrace views), and The General Store (coffee and grab-and-go snacks).
