As most of the readers of these pages know, I am passionate about the game of golf. What better time to write this, than a 60 degree, December day? I am going to be writing more about golf and it’s impact on the local real estate markets, and Colorado’s economy.
It was recently announced that the Colorado Golf Club would be home to the 2010 Senior PGA Championship. This coming on the heels of the 2008 Senior Championship being played only an hour away, at the Broadmoor, in Colorado Springs. For the PGA to, so quickly, bring back a Major Championship to Colorado, is a remarkable achievement for a club less than three years old!
However, this is no ordinary club. Designed by Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore, this is a monster course that will test the best players in the world. I’ve played the course three times (Never from the tips) and it gives you 7500 +/- yards of enjoyment! It is certainly in the top 2 or 3 courses I’ve ever played. My first experience at the CGC was me saying, “That was a great golf hole!” repeated 18 times. My subsequent rounds left me wondering why I couldn’t reach some of the long par 4’s in regulation, and thinking I really need to take a putting lesson. I’ll check my pride at the door next time, and move up a tee box or two. The championship tees are definately for those who earn a living by whacking a litte white ball. Mike McGetrick, the event’s championship chairman, and Director of Golf at CGC, said in the understatement of year:
“This is an opportunity to see legendary players on an exciting and challenging golf course”
The event is scheduled to be held May 24-30, 2010. It is expected to draw more than 100,000 fans, media, and volunteers during the week long tournament. The economic impact of such an event is in the tens of millions of dollars!

The Colorado Golf Club is also a place that high end homebuyer’s should consider. Located South East of Denver, in Parker, Colorado, the area will be have a scant 170 homes, set on over 1700 acres. There are 1300 acres of protected open space and over 10 miles of trails within the community.
Those looking to purchase a property here should plan on spending 7 figures, but the setting is spectacular, and the amenities unmatched.
