2,000 acres of the Cervi ranch, near Roggen, a small town in northeastern Colorado, are about to turn green. Two course routings—one by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, the other by veteran Coore & Crenshaw associate Jim Craig—have already been devised for the 2,000-acre, pure sand property acquired by Michael and Chris Keiser, sons of Bandon Dunes developer/owner Mike Keiser and owners of Sand Valley Golf Resort in Wisconsin. And even more golf is expected.
The water will come from ranch shares of the Lost Creek Water Basin- 1,186 acre feet, or the equivalent water usage for 3,500 homes for a year. Water is a private property right, and the water for this project is already in the hands of the developers of the golf courses.
