Our Golf Guru Says:

"Bluff." The name tell you all you need to know. Only not as in "I'll meet that bid and raise it." More like "look out below!" Lot's of elevation changes to give you nose bleeds or at the very least uneven lies. Multi-tiered greens will also mess with your mind and in the process add a couple of strokes to your normally stellar putting game. This is an unusual course for the region and well worth a visit. Is highly ranked on many lists and not for novices.

From The Bluffs on Thompson Creek:

Arnold Palmer was granted complete freedom to route his golf course at The Bluffs through each of the diverse landscapes of the property, and eight separate routings were staked and walked before the best 18 holes were discovered. Only after the most dramatic golf holes were found was the surrounding residential community planned. The result of Palmer's patient search for the routing of the course is a naturally beautiful golf course featuring uniquely different holes with excellent memorability.
