Mad Russian Golf & Country Club, The
The Mad Russian Golf Course first opened for play in 1979. The course was the dream of a rather eccentric Russian gentleman by the name of Ted Blehm. Looking to make even more money than his few million, he imagined a golf course/real estate development near Milliken, just north of Denver and east of the Rocky Mountains. Blehm knew nothing about golf, so he hired Dave Tooley to design the layout. Blehm and a crew of Mexican immigrants built Jack Rabbit Trail Golf Course. "A novelty," Tooley calls it. It's 5,641 yards with two lakes and small greens.
The dream died in bankruptcy and Jack Rabbit Trail sat idle for several years.
In 1986, a new owner rechristened it in Blehm's honor, branding it with a Cossack dancing with a rifle and golf club and naming the course "The Mad Russian Golf Course." The course re-opened to play on August 1, 1987 and every year theycelebrate the date as Mad Russian Day
