Signature holes
- #13 'Down and Dirty' - downhill par 4; approach drops sharply over trouble to a narrow green sloping front-to-back (Golf Digest panelists 2025-26)
- #5 'Sidewinder' - 602-yd par 5 with a ~210-ft-long green (Club & Resort Business, 2020)
- #9 / #18 - mirror-image holes around a lake to a shared double green
- #4 'O' Chute' - 246-yd par 3 from the tips
- #17 - Greater Zion calls it 'undoubtedly the signature': highest point on the course, overlooking the front nine and the lakes on #9 and #18
- #12 - long uphill par 5 to one of the highest points; the green looks back at the tee (Greater Zion)
- #8 - elevated tee against the mountainside, then a blind uphill approach (Greater Zion)
Local knowledge
- Big gap between tee sets - 15+ handicaps should play forward (multiple reviewers)
- Greens are firm, multi-tiered and break more than they look - stay below the hole
- Value complaints: 2025-26 GolfPass reviewers paid $200-$295 and flagged conditioning/unrepaired ball marks; Golf Digest panelists say conditioning lags the design
- Local rule: free relief from unmarked landscaped rock beds
- Holes 10-11 run close to housing
