$20,000 Winner with Hole-In-One at Nutrien Golf Classic

The 3rd Annual Nutrien Golf Classic, held at Highland Meadows Golf Course, will be remembered for a spectacular moment on the 16th hole. With a generous $20,000 cash prize up for grabs for a hole-in-one, anticipation was high among the players. But it was Corey Reiff, a longtime golfer and supporter of the United Way of Larimer County, who turned heads by achieving the rare feat.

Standing 177 yards away from the flag on Hole #16, Reiff was the first in his group to step up and take a swing. Armed with his 5-iron, he lined up his shot, took a confident breath, and sent the ball soaring through the air. The shot had a slight left-to-right fade, heading directly toward the green. With a bunker partially obstructing the view, his group wasn’t sure how close the ball had landed.

As the group reached the green, cheers erupted when they saw the ball nestled at the bottom of the cup—confirming the hole-in-one and securing the impressive cash prize. Despite being his first round of the year at Highland Meadows, Reiff was no stranger to the course, having played there many times in previous seasons. Sharing the experience with a few close friends made the moment even more special.

The Nutrien Golf Classic is known for supporting the community and drawing in local talent and enthusiasts. Reiff’s achievement added an unforgettable highlight to this year’s event, serving as a reminder of the excitement that keeps golfers and spectators coming back year after year.
