Since opening in 1981, Castle Pines Golf Club has called its experience the “Best Day of Golf in America.”

The PGA Tour will make its long-awaited return to the picturesque setting this week for the BMW Championship, the penultimate event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs. This is the Tour’s first stop in Colorado since Cherry Hills Golf Country Club hosted the same event in 2014.

Here’s a look at some of the course’s best moments in more than four decades of golf:

Dean Wilson wins final playing of The International

Castle Pines held The International, an annual PGA stop in August, from 1986 to 2006. The tournament used the Stableford scoring system.

In the tournament’s final year, Dean Wilson was crowned champion. He beat Tom Lehman in a playoff and logged 34 points in the tournament’s four days.

That win stands as Wilson’s only one on the PGA Tour. Wilson, 54, hasn’t played in a PGA Tour event since the 2013-14 season.

The PGA Tour announced in 2007 it would be canceling the event in favor of the newly formed AT&T National in the Washington, D.C., area.

Tiger Woods’ 1998 ace at The International

Tiger Woods, arguably the greatest golfer in history, hit the third hole-in-one of his PGA Tour Career at The International in 1998. Castle Pines held the International, an annual PGA tournament, from 1986-2006.

Woods achieved this feat on hole No. 7, a 185-yard par 3. The legend goes that Woods dunked the ball into the hole without it touching a blade of grass.

The moment was not caught on television, live or even a tape recording.

Woods finished fourth that year and played The International again the next year, failing to advance to Sunday. He never returned to Castle Pines in the following years for The International or the 2014 BMW Championship.

Phil Mickelson breaks own course scoring record in 1997

The International changed its scoring from final-round Stableford points to cumulative Stableford points in 1993, and Phil Mickelson won the tournament in the first year of its new format.

He logged 45 points that year, beating Mark Calcavecchia by eight points.

That score stood as the course Stableford record for four years — until Mickelson one-upped himself.

Mickelson recorded 48 Stableford points in 1997 to beat Stuart Appleby by seven. Appleby’s 41 points would have been good enough to win in any year from 1994 to 1996.

Ernie Els matches Mickelson’s International record

David Toms and Vijay Singh flirted with Mickelson’s record in 1998 and 1999, respectively, each scoring 47 points to win in those years.

But in 2000, someone finally caught up to Mickelson.

Ernie Els logged 48 points over four days to win the event and match Mickelson’s tourney-best cumulative score.

And who came in second place that year? Mickelson, who scored 44 points.

Davis Love III wins second PGA event at The International

In almost 40 years of professional golf, Davis Love III has won 21 events. Of those, 12 came during the 1990s, starting at Castle Pines.

Love won the 1990 International with 15 stableford points in the final round. He beat three other golfers (Steve Pate, Eduardo Romero and Peter Senior) by three strokes.

That win was only Love’s second on the PGA Tour, but it springboarded an elite run from 1990 to 1993, when he won seven events.

Peyton Manning’s hole-in-one

NFL legend and former Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning hit the second hole-in-one of his life at Castle Pines — on his first day as a member in 2013.

Like Woods, Manning’s ace at Castle Pines came on hole No. 7.

The story is that Manning was set to play with fellow Broncos legend John Elway later in the day but played a practice round with a random foursome beforehand. And that day, a simple practice round turned into one he’d never forget.
