This course has relatively short yardage and is located at a high elevation which makes it ideal for the mid handicapper The greens are stiff and play extremely true with only slight undulation The fairways are narrow and the first cut of rough is very playable but the second cut is quite deep so driving accuracy is integral to scoring well The course boasts breathtaking views of the San Francisco Peaks and Thumb Butte Mountain The signature hole is 16 a 168 yard par 3 which was literally carved out of a mountainside As you stand on the elevated tee the view of the green that is surrounded by trees as well as the sand bunkers and boulders is awesome yet daunting This beautiful course has hosted the U S Senior Amateur qualifier for the Northern Arizona Region
