Gleneagle Golf Club…Best Views, Best Greens in Colorado Springs

Built in 1972, Gleneagle Golf Club was designed by Frank Hummel to showcase the best views and best greens in Colorado Springs, Colorado! Located only 4.8 miles or approximately 13 minutes from Talon Hill Apartments, this unique 18-hole, Par 72 course has 4 sets of tees to allow golfers from all levels of experience to play and is rated a 74.6 from the back tees.

Golf rates are reasonable and discounts are given for members and the Military/Senior. Cart fees are $15 per person for 18 holes and $10 per person for 9 holes. Currently, the June Coupon Special features 18-hole green fees at $22 Mon.-Thurs and $32 Fri.-Sun.  Tee Times can be reserved by calling (719) 488-0900 and can be made up to 7 days in advance.

Gleneagle Golf Club is a semi-private club, however, it is open to the public and a membership is not necessary to play golf. However, if you are an avid golfer, a Golf Membership costs less than playing one round of golf a week! There are also Pool Memberships available and Social Memberships for those who might not be quite ready to commit to a full golf or pool membership.

Kurt Busch Wins the Kobalt Tools 500!

Kurt Busch has won again at Atlanta Motor Speedway, pulling away on a second restart after a couple of wild wrecks to capture the Kobalt Tools 500. This is the second year in a row Busch has won the spring race, beating Matt Kenseth to the line. Juan Pablo Montoya was third, followed by Kasey Kahne and Paul Menard.

There were two huge crashes which sent the race 16 laps past its scheduled 325. The first came when Carl Edwards was running 156 laps behind, clipped Brad Keselowski and sent him flying toward the grandstands upside down. It turns out that Keselowski was fine, but NASCAR sent Edwards to his trailer to give him what I call “down in the country” or a “come to Jesus” talk.
