Golf in Milliken

Milliken is a Weld County agricultural community in the South Platte River drainage between Greeley and Longmont, a small town serving the surrounding sugar beet and corn farming economy of the northern Colorado plains. The Mad Russian Golf and Country Club provides Milliken with a daily-fee golf facility and a distinctive name that has made it a familiar landmark in the northern Front Range golf landscape, serving the agricultural and residential communities of Weld County's northern portion. The town's position in the oil and gas production area of Weld County adds an energy-sector dimension to its agricultural identity, creating a workforce community whose recreational needs include golf alongside the hunting and fishing opportunities of the South Platte corridor.
