Ballyneal Golf Club

Private: A course for members and their invited guests only.

Est. 2006

The private Ballyneal Golf Club, located in the open prairie of northeast Colorado, is home to a championship golf course that ranks with the best in the state. Set in the Chop Hills, amidst thousands of acres of rolling native grasslands, this excellently designed inland links-style layout provides a wonderful test for your all-round game.

Skilfully crafted by Tom Doak to create the impression of an ancient links layout, the ever-undulating terrain is home to many attractive, skilfully crafted and challenging golf holes. The downhill doglegging 7th is lauded as one of the world's best and most scenic short par-4s.

Limited access: This private course is generally playable only by members and their invited guests.

Tournaments

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).

Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).

Who's Who

Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.

Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.

Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
