i was fortunate to get the opportunity to walk the routing for the new 18 at Ballyneal with designer Bruce Hepner. Hepner was lead designer for Doak on the original Ballyneal course and knows the land better than anyone. No doubt he is the man for the job.

doesn't take too much imagination to see new golf holes in this sandhills landscape.

instead of reading my ramblings, check out what Golf Digest's Ron Whitten was tweeting while walking the routing:

Ron Whitten
Spent much of Wednesday walking thru sandhills as Bruce Hepner showed & explained each hole of his routing of new 18 at Ballyneal in CO ...

Ron Whitten
Hepner calls the land "elegant." Much softer than existing Ballyneal 18, except for a few rugged holes. Great contrasts, wonderful routing..
Ron Whitten
Hepner's be the most natural course since Sand Hills in NE. Every green site is already there, only 4 holes may need a little massaging.

sounds like construction to start this fall on first 9 holes with all eyes on getting it 'right' as opposed to rushing the process in an attempt to hit a particular finish date. i like the sound of that.
