The university golf teams, like home- less waifs, had worked to secure informal arrangements with public and private courses in the region for practice time and tournament hosting. Any thought of having an indoor practice facility, such as those that many competing universities in the Mountain West Conference have, was off the table until Collins stepped in with the Harmony Center idea.

The developers committed to donating 2,400 square feet of the Harmony Center building, provided a booster group called the Ram Masters could equip it.

While CSU’s team members and coaches will become beneficiaries of Harmony’s amenities and enjoy the challenging play on Engh’s course design, others will have to purchase memberships in the private club. Membership privileges

Developers and professional golf staff alike are sensitive to the thought that their golf club will be seen as an exclusive enclave for the rich. But com- pared to initiations and dues payments that other private clubs charge, Harmony is within reach of a broader base of members.

A $12,500 payment secures a full golf membership at Harmony. That compares to private club initiation fees that typically start at $50,000 and move steeply upward.
