Golf: The Pinery Country Club
Superintendent: Steve Whiting
Opened: 1972
Staff: Don Graham, PGA Head Professional
Designer: David Bingham
The Pinery Country Club features 27 holes of scenic, challenging golf.
The three distinct nines each have their own unique character and offer
the following highlights: The mountain nine features dramatic elevation
changes, scenic vistas and play amongst mature Ponderosa Pines on
several holes; The Lake nine offers the most spectacular views. It
climbs from the Clubhouse past Bingham Lake to the 5th green and 6th
tee where you can see the entire front range from Pike's Peak to Long's
Peak. From there, the Lake course tumbles down into the Valley nine;
The Valley nine is a links style layout in a high-plains setting. This
nine has the highest slope rating of the three and features the
diabolical 3rd hole, certainly the most challenging hole at The Pinery.

Golf Progress as Seen Through the Pen of a Journalist
Education Points: .10
Kaye would like to spend some time talking about the progression of
golf over the last 40 years in terms of technology and personalities –
from the Bear to the Tiger. How can the latest technologies continue to
help the game yet preserve its storied history?? There will be ample
time to answer any questions that attendees are willing to ask and Kaye
says nothing is ‘off the record’ in this presentation… so bring it on!!!
