Indoor Golf in the
Icebox of the Nation
Fraser and Winter Park are renowned for world-class skiing and mountain biking, but the short, spectacular summer golf season at courses like Pole Creek and Grand Elk is equally celebrated. However, with snow often on the ground from October to May, local golfers need a reliable place to keep their swing grooved.
Enter The Birdie Lounge. Located on Zerex Street (Hwy 40), this venue has become the definitive year-round golf hub for the valley. It blends a cozy mountain town vibe with high-end Trackman technology, offering locals and visitors a place to trade ski boots for golf shoes after a day on the slopes.

Neighborhood Guide
Downtown Fraser
The Birdie Lounge is located on Zerex St (Hwy 40). It’s surrounded by distilleries, breweries, and the Amtrak station, making it the heartbeat of the valley’s social scene.
Winter Park Resort
Just a few miles south, the ski resort draws millions. Many visitors end their ski day with a trip down the valley to Fraser for dinner and simulated golf.
Tabernash / Pole Creek
Home to Pole Creek Golf Club. This residential area offers stunning views but is quiet at night, driving residents into Fraser for evening entertainment like The Birdie Lounge.
Granby / Grand Elk
Further north, Granby hosts Grand Elk and Granby Ranch golf courses. Residents here often travel south to Fraser in the winter for indoor access when their local courses are buried.
Fraser Indoor Golf FAQ
Can I rent clubs?
Yes. Since many visitors are in town for skiing and didn’t pack golf bags, The Birdie Lounge typically offers rental sets for guests to use.
Is it kid friendly?
Yes, especially in the afternoons. It’s a popular spot for families off the slopes. In the later evening, it transitions to a more adult bar/lounge atmosphere.
What technology is used?
The simulators are powered by Trackman. This is crucial for serious players who want to dial in their yardages, which differ significantly at Fraser’s 8,500 ft elevation.
Do I need a reservation?
It is highly recommended during ski season (winter) and peak summer weekends, as the bays can fill up quickly with both locals and tourists.
