CROSSWATER GOLF COURSE

The high desert's volcanic soil and towering ponderosa pines create a dramatic backdrop where every approach shot demands precision over forced carries and around ancient lava rock outcroppings. Water hazards snake through seven holes with deceptive currents, while the thin air at 4,000 feet adds 10-15 yards to every club in the bag. This Robert Trent Jones Jr. design rewards aggressive play on the par-5 finishing holes, where risk-takers can reach water-guarded greens in two.
