MUST-PLAY COURSES
Rodeo Dunes — Course 1

Solo debut from longtime Coore & Crenshaw associate Jim Craig. Under design.
WHAT A TRIP LOOKS LIKE
Arrive & Explore the Dunes
Land at Denver International and transfer directly to the property in 35 minutes. The scale of the Colorado sand dunes — 4,000 acres of towering terrain — becomes clear on the first walk across the property. Group dinner at the lodge.
Course 1 — First Round
Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw's opening design is a course that will appear on every major ranking list within its first year of public operation — the terrain matches or surpasses Sand Hills Golf Club in Nebraska, and the routing makes full use of the dune ridges. Opening round with the group playing full sets.
Course 1 — Ryder Cup
Host the trip's team competition on the Coore and Crenshaw layout — fescue fairways and Colorado wind make handicap formats genuinely interesting and every match stays in play through the back nine. Full event dinner with scoreboard posted in the lodge.
Jim Craig's Course 2
When Jim Craig's solo debut opens alongside Course 1, Rodeo Dunes becomes a two-course destination of real depth — Craig's design through a different section of the dune terrain offers a companion experience that longtime Coore and Crenshaw associates have been building toward for years.
Course 1 Final & Denver Afternoon
Final loop on the Coore and Crenshaw design before checking out and driving the 35 minutes into Denver. An afternoon in RiNo or the Denver food scene before an evening flight home.
Depart Denver
Morning flight back to Toronto — four-hour travel day that gives the group time to review the trip's scores and begin planning the next one.
GROUPS 12+ — Rodeo Dunes is a walking-only property and caddie availability will be in high demand in its early seasons — book caddie assignments at the same time as accommodation to guarantee coverage for a full group of 12. Early booking windows for Canadian groups open through founding member access.
