XXXV Review of "Breckenridge"


BRECKENRIDGE GOLF CLUB, Breckenridge, Colorado: Jack Nicklaus's only 27 hole municipal course is in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The average guy can drive the ball 300 yards or so here, but that's the end of the easy part. I've always thought of Jack as a fair architect, but these tracks are very difficult. At 9300 feet elevation, acclimation may also be required. There is eye-candy everywhere in this "Rocky Mountain High", if you get pooped and need a rest. Just put the clubs away and get out the camera. RATINGS: 73.1/146 (for Bear/Beaver 18, which is the original course) COST: $60 (off-season)-$107 plus cart.
