Big Meadow

The course moves though a forest of Ponderosa Pines and groves of Aspen with occasional glimpses of snow topped mountains as a back drop.

It a pretty place to play and a good test of golf.

The front nine is relatively flat, but the back nine starts to move into more undulating territory creating more interest.

Hole 12 and 13 take you up, and fourteen- the signature hole brings you back down..
