Golf Course
“THE LINKS WITH A LANDSCAPE — 18 holes, 6,781 yards, 4 tee locations, and a 72.4 NCGA rating — all up at 6,000 feet, allowing you to hit the ball 10-15 yards farther than normal. Get ready to grip it and rip it on the open, links-style front "Meadow Nine," and then dial things in on the tree-lined fairways and small greens of the famous back "Mountain Nine." The course offers helpful pin placement sheets and a guide to every hole on the scorecard. It's the perfect spot for a group outing with the meadow nine being very playable and the mountain nine yielding a challenge for all levels.”
