1st Hole: Par 5, 473 yards

Looks can be deceiving; don’t let the length fool you. From the tee box there doesn’t appear to be much trouble. The real issue will be for short drivers off the tee their approach shot which will have to carry a creek and pond on this opening par five. Long hitters may even reach the water. Most golfers will have to deal with the water on their second shots. Like most of our greens on the front nine, the green here is small and pretty tough to hit. The green is guarded by sand and grass bunkers.

2nd Hole: Par 3, 170 yards

The newest hole on the front nine, this scenic par three is a potential birdie hole with a well placed tee shot. Your tee shot must carry a water feature. Club selection is key as anything long on the green will run off the back.

3rd Hole: Par 4, 320 yards

Tree lined fairways creates a need for a fairly straight drive. Longer hitters can reach the green if they can thread the needle. Club selection from the tee box is important for a chance at a good score. This uphill dogleg left requires some thought as to what club you want to hit for your second shot. Trouble waits for those outside the tree lines.

4th Hole: Par 4, 411 yards

This challenging dogleg right is the hardest hole on the course. Longer hitters from the tee can carry the corner and have a wedge to get home. Average length drivers will have to shape long iron into another small green. Don’t miss this green long or left. Play for your approach to be short of middle of the green.

5th Hole: Par 4, 360 yards

This hole was redesigned as dogleg left last year with new trees and a shift in the fairway. From the tee box your aiming point is the large Chinese Elm tree. Avoid the native meadow to the left and the fence line right is out of bounds. The green on this hole maybe one of the most challenging in the state; having two levels and a false front. Don’t be too aggressive with your approach as anything past the pin will cause heartache.

6th Hole: Par 4, 385 yards

Another tight tee shot where aiming left will reward you with a good second shot. More trees line the fairway here. Colorado Spruce pines surround the green and provide a scenic backdrop as well as trouble for long shots. Any approach shot to the middle or left will roll to the left. Knowledge of the pin placement is important if you are looking for a birdie chance.

7th Hole: Par 5, 543 yards

Don’t be left off the tee. Heavy trees left will cause trouble. Long hitters can get past the valley in the fairway. A good drive and well struck second will get you home in two. This hole provides a great view of the Stansbury mountain range in the distance.

8th Hole: Par 4, 352 yards

Heading back to the clubhouse, the eighth hole is pretty straight forward but has out of bounds area to the right. Trees left define the fairway. Hit your straightest club off the tee as length of the tee shot isn’t as important as keeping it in the fairway. The small green is a challenge guarded by trees behind and bunkers in front. This was originally the starting hole in 1949.

9th Hole: Par 3, 240 yards

The longest par three on the golf course also offers the smallest green on the course. The green slopes to the back and to the left. Reaching the green is not an easy task from any tee box. The prevailing wind is right to left out of the canyon. This is one of the strongest par three holes in the state.
