2014 CAGGYs: Public/Resort Course Winners

Update: Vote in this year’s CAGGY Awards

Best Denver Region Courses

They’re not Pine Valley, Augusta National and Pebble Beach, which seem to take turns at the top of the golf world’s “best” lists. But the troika of The Golf Club at Bear Dance, The Ridge at Castle Pines North and Erie’s Colorado National Golf Club seem to own this highly competitive CAGGY category.
