Gypsum Creek Golf Course

3-PLUS: Good course - several memorable features; worthy of 3½ stars.

Est. 1997

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.

Did you know?

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.

Who's Who

Céline Boutier: with many successes as both an amateur and professional golfer, Boutier added a major championship title to her impressive résumé at this year’s Evian Championship.

Alex Cejka: buffeted by rain and high winds, especially on the high-scoring final day, Čejka prevailed over Pádraig Harrington in a playoff at Royal Porthcawl, to scoop the Senior Open Championship title.

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.
