Back in the day — which in this case is to say 1986 through 2006, when Castle Pines Golf Club hosted the PGA Tour’s International — it didn’t take any stretch of the imagination to see why the club had one of the nicest locker rooms around.
PGA Tour players obviously relished the experience — whether it was the expansive views of the course and the Rocky Mountains, the fantastic service, the sumptuously comfortable atmosphere, or whatever the case.
So when Golf Digest recently unveiled its ranking of the 50 best golf locker rooms in America, it was no surprise that Castle Pines Golf Club was high on the list.
No. 2, in fact.
Only Seminole Golf Club in Juno Beach, Fla., is higher in Golf Digest’s rankings.
Here’s the magazine’s brief comment that ran with Castle Pines’ No. 2 ranking: “Dressed in a suit and tie, locker-room manager Tom Horal — in his 34th year at the club — remembers your name and drink order after one visit.”
It should be noted that the golf course isn’t too shabby either. It’s No. 42 on Golf Digest’s list of America’s 100 greatest golf courses.
