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.
