The Rest of Your Day

The structured program runs 4–11 PM, but there’s no reason to arrive at 4. Golf, sporting clays, and the mountain itself are available from midday on. Lodging is available if you want to make a full night—or a few—of it.

Arrive Early — Golf

Tee times start at 11:30 AM on September 21. Book your foursome before you arrive—tee times run every 15 minutes and the course fills.

🎯

Arrive Early — Clays

Sporting clays are available throughout the afternoon. Reserve your shoot time in advance so you’re not waiting when you roll in.

🏔

Stay the Night

Lodge rooms, suites, treehouses, and mountain chalets are available. Reserve directly: 888.876.6513 or auberge.com/primland. Fall weekends fill fast.

Primland has its own observatory with an on-site astronomer. At 3,000 feet with no light pollution, the night sky is remarkable.

Our group has 12 slots in the 9:30 PM session only — the 8:30 show is sold out. You must register in advance: email Paula Stevens at paula.stevens@auberge.com or Lauren Hall. Once the 12 are gone we cannot add more.
