Unwind on this beautiful course where your primary hazards are the wind and mountain. Okay. Perhaps you won't be unwinding as much as you'd hoped. What are we saying? Of course you will. This course is built on rolling terrain tucked in between two mountain ranges and is appropriate for all abilities. The wind is only a factor toward the end of the round when prevailing gusts may cause you to choose the wrong club. The course is especially beautiful during the fall foliage. Once you're done with your round you can rest at the resort, which is also terrific, or do some shopping in the area.
