This facility offers two championship eighteen hole designs The Meadow Course opened in 1999 and is a great counterpart for the Canyon Course The Meadow Course has smaller greens than the original design but has more water hazards and is considered to be a little bit more forgiving off the tee The Arizona Republic wrote that the Meadow Course is perhaps the best layout in Northern Arizona One major difference between the courses is that holes 5 through 8 on the Meadow Course are situated in a meadow and offer a more open playing area and more scenic potential than the Canyon Course The beautiful Canyon Course has ponds and creeks coming into play on many of its holes The signature hole is 9 a 466 yard par 4 requiring shots alongside and over a pond then an approach shot over a creek to the green All of the fairways are tree lined This course was rated the best in Arizona by Golf Digest for the years 1995 98 The same publication chose it 44th out of America s 100 Greatest Courses for 1995 and 1996 and 48th in 1997 98 GOLF Magazine also rated the course 62nd in its category of Top 100 Courses in the U S for 1995 67th for 1997 and 79th for 1999 GOLFWEEK selected it 22nd on its list of America s 100 Best Modern Courses for 1998 and 16th for 1999
