Gypsum Creek
Gypsum Creek Golf Course: this Pete Dye design, which originally opened as Cotton Ranch Golf Club in 1997, was bought by the town of Gypsum in 2010 and renamed as Gypsum Creek. The layout is spread out over a steep, sage-covered mesa, offering a challenging golf outing as well as spectacular views of the Red Table Mountains.
Pick of the holes: several holes are characterised by steep drop offs and tough angles. The signature 15th is a daunting par-5 that exceeds 550 yards from the back tees and is rarely reached in two shots thanks to the prevailing winds.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Credit cards accepted. Contact club for full details, discounts, packages, etc. [Last updated: 2018].

The nearby town of Gypsum not unsurprisingly takes its name from the soft sulphate mineral of the same name. Gypsum deposits were discovered and mined in this area of Colorado from the late-1800s onward.
The mineral forms the basic constituent of many fertilisers, as well as plasterboard for walls and blackboard chalk. A fine-grained variety of gypsum, known as alabaster, has been used over the centuries for sculpture.
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).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
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.
