Signature holes

  • #15-17 - the lava-field stretch, the club's most iconic (and formerly most hated) holes; #15 now a par 3
  • #16 - par 5 with a punchbowl green set below the fairway, reachable in two for shorter hitters
  • #18 - elevated tee to the valley below

Local knowledge

  • Only way in without a member: book a stay at The Inn at Entrada.
  • Kidd built it for the ground game - land approaches short and let the slopes feed the ball.
  • The 15-17 lava run is where cards die; aim at the middle of greens.
