Al and Margaret Hill’s dream of a private country club began in 1949 with the purchase of the 1,600-acre mesa on which the resort and club now sits. Construction began in 1950 and the Garden of the Gods Club opened in June 1951. In 2007, the Club was opened up to the general public for overnight stays and is now known as Garden of the Gods Resort and Club.
At Garden of the Gods Resort and Club, we welcome resort guests and members to enjoy all the luxurious amenities and features the resort has to offer. Strata Med and Strata Spa and Salon are open the public, as well as Grand View Restaurant.
