BALLYNEAL#46 in the U.S.#82 in the World
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.• GOLF.com Course Finder Profile
