Golf in Gypsum

Gypsum is a small Eagle County agricultural and working-class community in the lower Colorado River valley between Glenwood Springs and Eagle, serving primarily as workforce housing for the resort economy centered in Vail and Beaver Creek to the east. Gypsum Creek Golf Club provides the community with accessible daily-fee golf at price points appropriate to a working community whose residents are often employed in the service and construction industries that support the valley's luxury resort economy. The town has grown as Eagle County's most affordable residential market, attracting workers and families who contribute to the valley's resort economy but require housing costs well below those of the resort communities themselves.
