Walking Stick Golf Course

The high desert winds of southern Colorado turn this Arthur Hills design into a demanding test that rewards precision over power. Elevation changes of nearly 200 feet create dramatic approach shots, while the namesake cholla cacti and native grasses frame fairways that demand course management rather than grip-it-and-rip-it mentality. When the afternoon gusts kick up off the Arkansas River valley, even scratch players find themselves reaching for extra club on the elevated greens.
