Tom Doak may espouse a lay-of-the land design mentality, but he kicked it up several notches at this 2006 effort in the remote badlands of northeastern Colorado. Tall dunes dotted with sagebrush and yucca lead some to call this the Ballybunion of the Rockies.The 7,147-yard, par-71 circuit sports central carry bunkers on several holes, and the occasional historical homage, such as the boomerang green at the seventh that he borrowed from his home course, the Alister MacKenzie-designed Crystal Downs.
