About this tournament

The 2025 Season is getting ready to roll and we are returning this year for the 21sth annual High Plains Challenge

PLEASE NOTE This is a natural grass course, grass levels may be higher than you are used to in the months leading up to the event depending on moisture and water accumulated through the spring. The course will be mowed prior to the event, in some cases that may even be the week prior to the event. Being Natural Grass, it also may still be longer in the fairways then most other park style courses. Be aware prior to registering for the event, and please do not feel the need to send rude emails regarding it to the TD staff. The City of Ft. Morgan and our TD team works hard to ensure the event will be a successful and to the highest standards possible.
Also of Note: Pessimist is not allowed to place Portable Restrooms on the course: The only restroom access is near the parking lot and fairway of hole 3.
