Hole 1 | Par 4
The opening hole is a lengthy downhill par four. Views from the back tees showcase the San Francisco peaks to the north and immense forest to the south. The ideal tee shot should be placed slightly back or next to the first fairway bunker. This will provide players with a flatter lie for their approach shots. Tee shots that travel farther down the fairway may experience a more slopping second shot. Players would also be wise to avoid the far right side of the fairway as there are several trees that may interfere with your approach shot. The green slopes from back to front with a ridge on the left center and is guarded by a penalty area and bunker on the left. Escaping the first hole with a par is always a job well done.

Hole 2 | Par 4
This short par four requires a strategically placed long iron or fairway wood from the tee. Aggressive players can attempt to drive the green, but the big miss can be a round killer. The best tee shots will favor the left and middle of the fairway. Shots too far right will require players to navigate a severe side-hill lie. A creek bed dissects the fairway just short of this lengthy green. The front and back of the putting green is separated in the middle by a large valley that will collect improperly struck shots. Approach shots that find the correct level will see a realistic chance at birdie.

Hole 3 | Par 3
Our first par three requires a long to mid-iron into this elevated putting surface. A large slope on the left-center of the green complex requires players to choose their club correctly. Hitting the green on the incorrect portion may force a player into a putt that has more than 10 feet of break. The best place to miss the putting green is short middle, or if your sand game is strong, in the front right greenside bunker. Par is a great score considering the surrounding challenges which includes a large penalty area the entire right side of the hole.

Hole 4 | Par 5
The longest par five on the golf course provides players with spectacular views of the San Francisco Peaks. The fairway slopes from left to right and balls that catch the right side of the fairway occasionally roll into the right rough or trees. Players that have the length to challenge this green in two are certainly required to hit two great shots. The green complex is well protected by a large bunker short right, tall trees on the left, and a severe slope into the forest on the back right hand side.

Hole 6 | Par 5
Another long par five with a narrow opening between two well placed bunkers on the left and right side of the fairway. Longer hitters may be tempted to reach the green in two. All players need to be cautious of the bunker that protects the front right and a big slope on the back right of the putting green. This long, narrow green has a front tier and back tier making your approach shot placement critical if you want a realistic chance at sinking your putt.

Hole 7 | Par 3
The shortest par three is protected by a lake that requires most players to hit over the water. Club selection can vary depending on the prevailing winds when trying to approach this multi-level green. Shots struck too firmly occasionally receive a "members bounce" and spin back onto the green thanks to the large hill on the back left side of the green.

Hole 8 | Par 4
A
beautiful short par four requires accuracy off the tee. Shots that travel too far up the left side will have to navigate a huge pine tree to find the putting surface. The high percentage play will be to leave yourself 140-150 yards into the putting green. Your uphill approach shot requires precise distance and spin control if you are going to have a makeable putt. This green complex is protected by a deep bunker and a steep slope in the middle of the green that creates a lower front tier and upper back tier.

Hole 9 | Par 4
This long, downhill par four is more challenging than it appears. The elevated teeing ground invites players to hit their shots over the hill and as far as they can. However, members will tell you the best play is to lay back to the right side of the fairway just before the hill. Experienced players know that over the hill the fairway quickly narrows and holding the green from the rough is much more challenging. Also, tee shots on the left side of the fairway will have to deal with a tall pine tree just over the hill. Players that find the correct portion of the fairway will have a great chance at hitting this gradually undulated green and looking at a makeable birdie putt.

Hole 10 | Par 4
The tenth hole may be the most demanding tee shot on the golf course. The prevailing wind almost certainly is blowing into the players making this long par four play even longer. Club selection is critical as you must avoid a penalty area down the entire left side of the hole and two fairway bunkers that protect the right side. Tee shots that find the left rough will force players to alter their normal approach shot trajectory due to a tall pine tree. Players will experience dramatic views of the Caldera for their second shot. Favor the right side of the putting green because of the bunker and fall off on the left side of the green.

Hole 11 | Par 4
The shortest par four on the golf course allows the longer hitters a chance at making an eagle. Players that elect to lay back should do so strategically in order to avoid the large tree in front of the green. This long narrow green is protected by a ridge on the front right side along with three large bunkers on the left.

Hole 12 | Par 3
This scenic and memorable downhill par three offers breathtaking views of the Caldera and mountainside. When the wind is swirling, players able to keep their shots below the tree tops stand a greater chance of hitting the putting surface. The green slopes from back to front and features a large slope on the front section of the green. There is very little room to miss the green and players that do are fortunate not to find the rock outcropping on the left or large penalty area on the right. Occasionally, players are fortunate to witness large gatherings of Elk in the Caldera that can number in the hundreds.

Hole 13 | Par 4/5
For the men this hole plays as the longest par four on the golf course. For women, this hole plays as a par 5. The tee shot requires players to avoid a penalty area down the entire left side and two large fairway bunkers on the right. The fairway plays slightly uphill, slopes from right to left, and ideal tee shots are placed down the right side. Shots played from the left side of the fairway will have an obstructed view of the putting green due to a collection of large pine trees on the left. The large green slopes dramatically from back to front. Par is usually a great score on this hole.

Hole 14 | Par 4
Distance control on the tee shot is a must if you are going to be able to attack this hole location. The fairway bottlenecks about 150 yards from this well-guarded putting green. Shots that travel too far left or right will be blocked by tall pine trees. The ideal tee shot places the player about 170 yards from the middle of the green. There is a large slope that divides the front and back of the putting green. It is important to find the correct portion of the green to give yourself the best chance at making the putt.

Hole 15 | Par 4
This lengthy dogleg left requires a well struck drive. Tee shots that can cut the corner will have a shorter second shot. Tee shots that go too far to the right may catch a slope and end up near the 14th fairway. The second shot plays slightly downhill and can play into the wind. Missing the green short is much better than long. This green has two main slopes. The largest creates an upper tier on the back left side of the green. The other starts from the front right and moves towards the back.

Hole 16 | Par 4
A short uphill dogleg right places a premium on the placement of the tee shot. Players should make every attempt to avoid the fairway bunker on the right. The flattest portion of the fairway is short left of this bunker and will leave you 150-160 yards into the middle of the green. A deep bunker protects this severely undulated green. The green slopes slightly from left to right and it's best to keep your approach below the hole. Shots missed on the hill left of the putting green will struggle getting up and down.

Hole 17 | Par 3
The last and longest of our very challenging set of par three holes. Standing on the elevated back tee provides a great view of hole 18, the Clubhouse, the practice facility, and the San Francisco Peaks. Your tee shot will require some precision especially if the wind is up. The green mostly slopes from back to front, but has a slight runoff on the backside. The green complex is also protected by bunkers in the front, back, and a penalty area that runs in front and around the left side. Short middle and right are the best places to miss this green. Often times making a par feels like you picked up a stroke on the field.

Hole 18 | Par 5
This spectacular finishing hole is a reachable
par five that leads you back to the footsteps of the Clubhouse. Players hitting from the back tee box are forced to play from a shute of tall pine trees. The fairway begins as an uphill slope and then gradually flattens out about
250 yards from the putting green. A well
struck tee shot is required to carry the hill and find the flat portion of the
fairway. The largest lake on property guards the entire right side of the hole beginning 230 yards from the green. Approach shots hit from the right side of the fairway have the shorter shot, but are required to hit over the entire lake. An amphitheater setting showcases
the green that is flanked by bunkers left and short, as well as, a large mound that surrounds the backside of the green complex. This is a great finishing hole that has seen it's fair share of eagles and double bogeys.
