Given
a tract of land perfectly suited to mountain golf—
and the freedom to follow every whim— Bob Cupp
and renowned land planner Gage Davis have created
the quintessential mountain course. Spectacular long
views of surrounding mountains
harmonize with slopes of stately ponderosa pine and
permanently preserved, variegated native wetlands.
Gentle playing surfaces appear as extensions of flowering
meadows, and golf holes of outstanding strategic value
wind through pine-walled valleys, each seeming to
aim at some distant, majestic peak.
Expect shot variety and intriguing elevation changes—
yet none of the steep holes encountered on other mountain
courses. The soft pine straw adjoining the fairways
means virtually all lies are playable. But the true
intelligence of this course lies in the par fours.
Counterintuitively, the short fours play with the
prevailing wind and the long fours play against it,
creating a variety of shots to challenge a golfer’s
length and ability to hold an approach on the green.
