Golf on three of Maui’s world famous championship golf courses from October 17 – 22, 2009 in the Aloha Golf Tournament Package. The three magnificent courses include The King Kamehameha Golf Club, Kapalua Resort’s Bay Course and Kapalua Resort’s Plantation Courses.
Go here for the rest….
If Jim Engh doesn’t win an award for every course he makes Best Golf Colorado will make one and give it to him! Fossil Trace is so great you should see it for yourself. We’re considering putting together a list of Jim’s courses in Colorado with contacts for seeing property around them. Leave a comment if you think that’s a good idea. Before you do that, have a look at Fossil Trace. WOW!
More Engh magic
Try a flyover!

Years ago I listened to Ross Jeffery share his vision for a destination golf course in Canon City, Colorado. I said something like, “Well, Ross, if anyone can make a success of that, you’re the man for the job.” Then I backed away slowly avoiding any sudden moves. Canon City already had a course and isn’t a big town. Its destination attraction is Royal Gorge – typically, a family day trip…. To say the least, I expected problems at Four Mile Ranch. I’m happy to say that I was wrong.
I recently got a tour from Ross of Four Mile Ranch. All I can say is WOW. What a uniquely stunning achievement by course architect Jim Engh. The course kind of lays like 18 thin blankets over the arid landscape. The course is ecologically friendly too, its fed by a hot springs aquifer that provides warm water that melts any of the light snowfall the local micro-climate gets off the course. Play is nearly year round! I don’t have the time to go into it today but, please, don’t wait to get out there. The course is fantastic and its getting lots of play from all over Colorado.

I saw a Golden Eagle fly about 30 feet over this hole
Golden is a great place to visit and Applewood is a great place for golf!
I was talking the other day to one of the guys who runs Vail resorts and he mentioned that they are very interested in promoting their resorts as summer golf destinations. I have to admit, I’ve never golfed up there but I got curious and, sure enough, there’s lots of golf around Vail.
Looks like Best Golf Colorado has its “work” cut out for it up there!
