Ballyneal sounds Irish so it’s fitting that this is a links course albeit an inland links. The dream of Rupert and Jim O’Neal is located in the middle of a huge Colorado dunescape, and even the address – Holyoke – echoes that of a current Open Championship links venue.

The Colorado Golf Club displays the architectural brilliance of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw across 1,700 immaculate acres in Parker. This championship course hosted the 2010 Senior PGA Championship and the 2013 Solheim Cup, providing strategic golf amidst the Rocky Mountain foothills, where elevation enhances each shot for an unforgettable experience.
William Flynn designed Cherry Hills in 1922 and if you do get the chance to play this famous course your driving distances will flatter to deceive. Denver is not called the Mile High city for nothing and Cherry Hills is certainly golf with altitude.
Jack Nicklaus designed Castle Pines Golf Club in 1981 and he carved it out of a scrub oak and pine forest in the heart of Colorado, not far from Denver. The club is famous for the International tournament played under an unusual scoring system which is similar to Dr Frank Stableford’s method.
Founded in 1887, Denver Country Club moved to its current location in 1905. A number of great architects have modified the original James Foulis course, including Donald Ross, William Flynn, Bill Coore and Gil Hanse.
Golf arrived at the Broadmoor Resort in 1918 when Donald Ross created an 18-holer which was split in two when Robert Trent Jones Snr added two 9-hole loops, forming the East course in 1952 and the West in 1964.
The Rocky Mountains provide the dramatic backcloth for the club known simply as Sanctuary – the brainchild of RE/MAX Chairman and Co-Founder Dave Liniger. Award winning architect, Jim Engh, designed the course and it opened for play in 1996.
Situated just outside Aspen, the mountain golf course at the Maroon Creek Club is a scenic Tom Fazio layout that features a solid set of par threes at holes 9, 11 and 13. Architect Denis Wise, a former Fazio associate, re-shaped the sand traps and installed new drainage in 2006.
Set out along the Eagle River, which runs through the Vail Valley, the 1984 Jack Nicklaus-designed course at the Country Club of the Rockies offers magnificent mountain vistas from a course that doesn’t suffer itself from uncomfortable elevation changes.
The Fazio course at Red Sky Ranch & Golf Club debuted in 2002, one year before the Norman course. It’s a layout that enjoys substantial elevation changes with most of the challenge found in the intricate design of the greens.
Dating back to the late 1990s, the 18-hole layout at the Roaring Fork Club is a Jack Nicklaus Signature Course that’s set out on either side of the river of the same name, with fairways routed through a mixture of landscapes; from undulating, wooded terrain to open ranch land.
Located eight miles east of downtown Denver, the CommonGround course is another minimalist offering from Tom Doak of Renaissance Golf Design, who totally redesigned the site by removing trees, restoring native grasses, adding bunkers and constructing massive, undulating greens.
Opened in 2003, the Norman course is much the tougher of the two 18-hole layouts at Red Sky Ranch & Golf Club. Separated from the Fazio course by a ridge, it measures almost 500 yards longer than its older golfing sibling.
The Golf Club at Redlands Mesa lies in the shadow of imposing rock formations on a spectacular Grand Valley site where Jim Engh routed the fairways around an attractive housing development in 2001.
The 7,263-yard course of the Club at Ravenna is a Jay Morrish solo design and it's set between Waterton Canyon and the Pike National Forest. Opened in June 2007 Ravenna is already an award winner and despite having the second highest slope rating in Colorado, the course is tailored to suit all levels of golfer.
Formerly known as Adam’s Mountain Country Club before a change of ownership in 2015, Frost Creek sits next to the White River National Forest, offering members a variety of outdoor sporting activities including this Tom Weiskopf-designed 18-hole layout.
The 8,400-yard RainDance National Golf Course lies at an elevation in the high plains of Colorado. Fred Funk designed the golf course as a course 'fit for the pros.' Despite this, the average golfer has received the course well since opening in 2022.
Located a few miles south of Parker and fashioned as the centrepiece for an upmarket new community, the 7,200-yard golf course at The Club at Pradera is a Jim Engh design from 2004. It plays very long from the back markers, but seven tee positions make the layout playable for golfers of all abilities.
Located close to the other Jack Nicklaus course at its Golf Club namesake, The Country Club at Castle Pines was founded in 1986 and the course is a brute from the tips...
One of an octet of courses that Jim Engh has designed in the Centennial State, Lakota Links golf course (formerly Lakota Canyon Ranch Golf Club) lies just outside New Castle, below the Flat Tops Wilderness Area at an altitude of over 5,000 feet above sea level.
