Living on the Gauntlet: Inside Blackstone’s Most Coveted Fairway Address

There are golf course homes, and then there are golf course homes that make you feel it every time you pull into the driveway. 27822 E Long Place is that home: a 5,100-square-foot retreat positioned along the 14th fairway of Jay Morrish’s Blackstone Country Club, looking directly toward the stretch of holes members simply call The Gauntlet.

Morrish, Golf World Magazine’s 1996 Architect of the Year, designed a course that earns its 74.6 rating and 145 slope every time out. At 7,313 yards from the tips, with lakes, streams, and strategically placed bunkers woven through a prairie-style layout framed by Rocky Mountain views to the west, Blackstone is the kind of course that rewards you one round and humbles you the next. The back nine is where scores are made or handed over, and from the patio of this home, you have a front-row seat to the stretch that decides it.

The Gauntlet runs holes 13 through 16. Hole 13 is a 640-yard par 5, the number-one handicap hole on the entire course. Survive it and you walk into hole 14, a 409-yard par 4, which is exactly where this backyard sits. The view opens directly toward hole 15’s tee box, a 412-yard par 4 ranked as the number-three handicap on the card. Hole 16 closes the sequence with a 228-yard par 3. From your firepit, you watch players find their round, or lose it, right in front of you. Golf doesn’t get more wonderfully addictive than that.

Built in 2017, the home delivers 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and a 3-car garage across 5,100 square feet that feel like a retreat from the moment you walk in. The main-floor primary suite keeps daily life easy, the open living spaces fill with natural light, and the indoor-outdoor flow makes post-round hosting feel natural rather than planned.

The details are what set this property apart for a player. A backyard chipping and putting green means the short game gets a workout before you reach the first tee. When Colorado weather closes in, a hidden hitting room tucked behind the home gym keeps your swing sharp year-round. It’s a rare feature in any market, and it changes how this home works for a golfer.

The walkout basement adds flexible space for entertaining, fitness, and guests, and the covered deck and firepit give you every reason to linger once the round is done.

Living in Blackstone Country Club includes membership through Invited Clubs’ Blackstone Country Club and Black Bear Golf Club, unlocking 36 total holes across the two courses, plus the Fireside Restaurant and Lounge, resort-style pool, tennis, pickleball, and a newly upgraded fitness center. Neighbors become friends here, and an afternoon round has a way of turning into dinner on the patio without anyone planning it that way.
