The Nationwide Tour is in town this week. I was extended an invitation to play on Monday’s pro-am with some future PGA Tour players but I had to decline as I was out of town. 🙂

Colorado Day 4 Recap – Ballyneal

The final day. Day 4 (Monday) of the big Colorado golf blogger trip with Jay Flemma and pals:

We woke up early and drove from Sterling Colorado to Holyoke. Holyoke Colorado is about 12 miles west of the Colorado/Nebraska border, right in the middle of corn country. There are huge corn fields and gigantic storage silos everywhere.

From Holyoke we drove through about 15 miles of corn fields on dirt farming roads. A person could easily get lost in the maze of fields and dirt roads we were on. There was no way a world class golf course could be in the middle of this area, no way.

I didn’t know what to expect at the clubhouse. The clubhouse at Pradera was massive, and finely appointed. Would this clubhouse dwarf that one? Would it have gold plated toilet seats? No. The clubhouse was actually a fairly small, conservative building. The clubhouse was functional and reminded you why you were there, for golf.

When we pulled up into the circle in front of the clubhouse they told us to just leave our cars parked in front and leave the keys in them. I figured some kind of “valet” would park them for us. Nice idea but that wasn’t the case. This course is so exclusive and so remotely located, that our cars were simply left there. There were 4 cars parked at the course all day, 3 of them were from our group.

We changed shoes in the tiny locker room and then met our caddies at the practice green. We hit a few putts, drank some coffee and had some chit chat about the course. Our buddy and Ballyneal club member Adam Clayman gave us some good info and trivia about the course during our warm up and throughout the round.
