Located in the remote Chop Hills near Holyoke, Colorado, Ballyneal Golf Club is a modern inland links designed by renowned architect Tom Doak and opened in 2006. Built across rolling sand dunes and native prairie, the walking-only course embraces firm fescue turf, wide rumpled fairways and natural contours that encourage a creative ground game. Constant winds and subtly contoured greens provide a strategic challenge, while holes such as the drivable par-4 7th and the punchbowl par-3 3rd are widely admired. Remote, minimalist and deeply rooted in the traditions of links golf, Ballyneal has become one of the best golf courses in the USA.
