Hole #12 - 490
yard Par 4/5
A stern test as a par 4, reachable
in two as a par 5 like #8, but much more dangerous. Willow Creek hugs the left side of the
fairway and crosses through to the right past the tee shot. The second shot drops off
dramatically to Willow Creek 30 feet below. The green is perched above this large drop,
tempting the golfer to carry over it or to prudently lay up shorter. This is the toughest
hole on the back nine.

Hole #18 - 450
yard Par 4
The eighteenth
at Maroon Creek is one of the toughest holes on the course. The tee shot must skirt Willow
Creek to reduce the length of the second shot on this long par 4. The prevailing wind will
be against the golfer. Par will be a good score and a birdie requires a heroic approach
over the water. The green is surrounded by a dense forest of evergreen, creating a
beautiful and climactic setting. Par here feels like birdie. |
