If you are visiting Breckenridge and love to golf, you are in luck. Breckenridge is the only town in the world that owns a Jack Nicklaus designed, 27 hole golf course. The course opened in 1985 and has provided great times ever since. The course has also won many awards and accolades for being a great place to play.

The course is located in a beautiful mountain valley, with the clubhouse sitting at 9,324 feet. Given the high elevation, golf balls travel straighter and farther than at courses at lower elevations. The course has three championship nines, known as the Bear, the Beaver, and the Elk, and they all offer spectacular views of the Rockies.

The Bear Course was the first nine holes to be available for play when the course opened. This is a challenging course and you are likely to shoot no higher than your handicap through the first six holes. The last three holes are very tough. The Bear Course has the most open feel of the three courses, with much of the play around grasses and wetlands.

The Beaver Course opened in 1987 and has the narrowest fairways of the three courses. You will need accurate drives to hit a good score in this nine. The name comes from the beaver ponds that are scattered throughout the course. They were created by beavers and Nicklaus left it in his design.

The Elk Course opened in 2001, giving golfers 27 holes to play with. This nine offers the most elevation change and the most panoramic views of the mountains.

Before going on vacation, most people try to lose a few pounds, but usually all of that lost weight is gained back when reaching a destination to find loads of restaurants and bars, but no physical activities. In this sense, Breckenridge, Colorado, is anything but your normal vacation spot. While the town does have some award winning cuisine and plenty of night life, this vacation spot bustles during the daytime hours. With activities from skiing to fly fishing, you will never have to worry about gaining a pound. And unlike most tourist destinations, the locals here want you to come and visit, so they�ve made the whole thing a lot easier by setting up Central Reservations Network.

The Central Reservation Network offers visitors numerous vacation packages that are sculpted to fit your specific vacation needs. For those that want to take advantage of everything that Mother Nature has to offer, the �Summer in the Rockies� package is not for the faint of heart. This package includes rafting, an ATV tour, horseback riding, fly fishing, biking, and spa treatments all in one. Bring your friends and family along for your Rocky Mountain adventure, this package is only good for groups of four.

In addition, you will receive two nights accommodation for four in a private condominium. For golf enthusiasts, this package is a must.

Then again, physical activity may not be what you need to unwind. Instead of exerting your muscles, try flexing your brain while you listen to jazz that is played upon a floating stage. With the GenuWine and Jazz Festival package, you will get to hear great music, unwind, and receive twenty free vouchers for local wine tasting. Whether you intend to keep in shape on your vacation, or prefer to simply relax by listening to music, Breckenridge�s Central Reservations Network can take care of all your vacation needs.

Blue skies as far as the eye can see, mountains that surround and reflect off of lakes and streams, and temperatures that hardly ever reach above eighty degrees.
