Frost Creek

What Frost Creek does

Frost Creek is a private, member-only golf and mountain resort community located in the Brush Creek Valley near Eagle, Colorado, in the Vail Valley. Founded in 2015 by owner Chad Brue and built on a 1,100-acre planned unit development, the property centers on a 285-acre, 18-hole Tom Weiskopf-designed championship golf course and a 40,000-square-foot clubhouse. The site is surrounded by federal and state protected lands and is positioned about 15 minutes from the Eagle/Vail airport and Interstate 70.

The company sells a bundled product combining mandatory private club membership with residential real estate. Membership tiers and pricing are not publicly disclosed; real estate is listed publicly and includes custom homes at the new Red Bluffs Way development (priced from $4.279M to $4.418M), turnkey and partially furnished homes in the Hunter's View community ($2.499M-$2.9M), and 4-5 acre homesites ($1.05M-$1.4M). Supporting amenities include a fine-dining restaurant and casual bar, a spa and fitness center, pool, tennis and sport courts, ten 3-4 bedroom luxury cabins, two glamping yurts, private fly fishing on Brush Creek, and a shuttle to Vail and Beaver Creek ski resorts.

Frost Creek generates revenue from recurring club membership dues, food and beverage, lodging (cabins and yurts), event and amenity fees, and one-time real estate closings on homes and homesites (the latter subject to a 1.7% transfer fee). Distribution runs through the company's own sales team, MLS listings on FlexMLS, and a dedicated real estate broker network. The company has been recognized as one of Golfweek's Top 10 Private Clubs in Colorado (2020) and as an innovator in the modern private club model.
