Canyon Springs Golf Club
The golf : Despite not remaining a premier resort as
originally planned, Canyon Springs still offers 18 holes of spectacular
public golf that wind through several residential communities. Gary Player
protégé Thomas Walker laid this one out, and he's received
accolades for the course's natural feel, despite the route through the
homes. His design features giant oak trees; huge, undulating greens; prominent
bunkering; and elevated tees. Throughout the round you'll face a good
combination of split fairways, forced carries, and fairways that are both
generous and unforgiving. Rock formations dot the landscape, and thick,
gnarly rough awaits anything off the fairway.
Each side's finishing hole features a waterfall. The 18th is the most
talked about-a 400-yard par 4 that plays from an elevated tee down to
a fairway bordered by a creek and waterfalls.
The most intriguing hole is No. 18, a 400-yard par 4 featuring an elevated
tee box and a fairway punctuated by a creek and waterfall.
Other notes: Both Golf Digest and Golf Magazine lauded Canyon Springs
as one of America's best new public courses in 1998.
