n 2010, golf.com reported Vail Valley local resident and golf commentator Gary McCord dared Jamie Sadlowski, the longest driver of a golf ball who’s has ever lived, to hit a driver over Jack Nicklaus’ vacation home at the Cordillera Valley Course in Edwards. The house was 417 yards away, and Sadlowski air mailed his shot straight into Jack and Barbara’s bedroom. It’s true. Golf balls really do fly farther here in the Rocky Mountains, and there are other adjustments needed when playing at these high-altitude courses, as well. Luckily, Vail Daily Sports Editor and Eagle County golf guru Chris Freud has some advice for enjoying your rounds in the High Country.

He’s also assembled an eclectic collection from the golf world here in Eagle County with his Fantasy 18 — a look at the most memorable holes, nos. 1-18, in the valley. The stunning courses in the Vail Valley each present a world-class experience, both on the course and off. So get out there — maybe your next tee shot will end up next to a golf legend’s nightstand.

PL AYING AT ALTITUDE

IS A LL A BOUT AT T I T U D E Some advice for better enjoying your rounds in the High Country BY CHRIS FREUD

MOUNTAIN GOLF | 2015

rom a local’s perspective, golf safaris elsewhere in the country are fun. We do the same jaunts that everyone else in the country does — Scottsdale, Ariz., Las Vegas, the Carolinas and Florida. And we, of course, aspire to the bucket listers — Pebble Beach, Torrey Pines, Bethpage and Pinehurst. But there is always the theme when we return. We love our altitude so, and we miss it so during our pilgrimages. Welcome to golf at altitude. With golf courses in Eagle County ranging from 6,300 all the way up to 9,000 feet above sea level, it is most definitely your friend. The ball flies 10 to 15 percent farther because the air is thinner in these parts and there is relatively little humidity. And, while it’s your friend with regard to ball flight, a golfer must respect altitude — especially if you’re vacationing here.

As you begin your round, make sure you have applied sunscreen and put down a lot of water. photo by kristin anderson

Here’s a rundown on what to expect: PREPARATION Sunscreen, sunscreen and more sunscreen; and water, more water and even more water. Our famous bluebird skies are lovely. You’re also closer to the sun. When you get to the course of your choosing, get the lotion out and start slathering. Repeat at the turn. The lack of high heat — locals break into a sweat when the mercury rises above 80 degrees Fahrenheit — is deceiving. The sun is intense in the High Country. SPF 30 suntan lotion at a minimum is a requirement. Remember your round for the shots you made … and not the heat stroke you got. Along those lines, drink a ton of water. Drink fluids

before your round, and during it. If you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Most courses have coolers on the side of the cart. Use them. Fill your water bottles and keep refilling them on the course. And, beware the beverage cart. We are not a puritanical county, but just remember alcohol, by nature, dehydrates and, no matter the cocktail, it goes to your head faster at altitude. Also be ready for the weather. Summer showers are in the forecast almost every day here. They’ll likely pass through, but have some rain gear in your bag, to be on the safe side. WALKING It is a fundamental part of golf, but some courses have limitations on walking for an understandable reason:

This is the mountains. The Vail Golf Club is likely the most walkable 18 in the county with a traditional format of tee boxes close to greens and subtle elevation change. Nonetheless, especially if you are in town fresh from a lower locale, be mindful of how you are reacting to the altitude. Eagle-Vail doesn’t allow walking until late in the afternoon because the hikes to holes 9 and 10 — as well as its elevated finish in an aspen grove — would slow play to a crawl. (The author’s home course is Eagle-Vail, after all, and he has walked it. It is a highly overrated experience.) Eagle Ranch and Gypsum Creek have challenging stretches of walking and elevation change on their back nines, but do allow walking.

I HIT A 7-IRON HOW FAR? Yes, the ball does fly, and it’s a joy. If you’re on vacation, do stop at the range before your round to check your clubs’ distances. The general rule of thumb is a club-and-a-half more distance. Take your irons out on the range and see how far they’re going. It’s better to find out on the range than flying your first green by 20 yards. It is tempting at this altitude to go a tee farther back than you would normally play at sea level. However, remember, Eagle County courses were designed with the altitude benefit in mind. A lot of these courses compensate for the thin air with thin fairways and hazards — bunkers, water, thick grasses and mountainsides. As much fun as it it is to bomb away with the big dog, accuracy is much more important than distance up here. Know your handicap, look at rating and slope on the scorecard of the course your playing, and adjust accordingly. Most of all, have fun. Having traveled travelled all over the country playing this silly game, this is a wonderful place to golf. Hit’ em straight.

Take your irons out on the range and see how far they’re going. It’s better to find out on the range than flying your first green by 20 yards.” 2015 | MOUNTAIN GOLF

THE HIGH COUNTRY

FA N TA S Y 18

Are these memorable holes a dream — or nightmare? BY CHRIS FREUD

aking this course was hard. No dirt was moved and no architectural plans consulted, although the designers of these holes are a veritable Who’s Who of the golf world. But how do you put together 18 great holes from all the great golf there is to be had here in the High Country? This par-71 fantasy course measures 6,623 yards from the tips, though Rory McIlroy might be the only one able to play this loop from the back. Get your ball-retriever because you’re going to need it on this fantasy course. 2015 | MOUNTAIN GOLF

HOLE NO. 1

RED SKY RANCH, NORMAN COURSE, NO. 1, PAR-5, 565 YARDS One of many wonderful things about both courses at Red Sky Ranch is, while located a few miles from Interstate 70 for easy access, they are so far above the freeway all you have are incredible views. This is my favorite, and no finer introduction to mountain golf. “The Shark” gives you plenty of room off the tee for the driver from elevated boxes, though you should watch O.B. right. Even with an elevated tee shot, this is tough to reach in two shots. The fairway narrows as you approach the green, guarded by a nasty right bunker. If

the greens keeper is in a bad mood, he or she will stick the pin back right

HOLE NO. 2

EAGLE-VAIL GOLF CLUB, NO. 9, PAR-4, 446 YARDS “So, where exactly are we going?” is generally the question here. From the blue tees, a golfer has no view of the fairway of this slight dogleg-right fairway. From the regular whites, there is tease. The go-for-broke play here is driver just slightly right. We do not encourage that approach as the homeowners who live on the right side of that fairway can probably make their mortgage payments with all the Titlelists, Nikes and other golf balls they find. Unless you want to add to

their collection, using a driver is not a great idea here. Off the tee, you need about 220 yards. That will hit the fairway and get some roll. The hole is downhill all the way, including the green. Running your approach short and left of the green is the insider’s path.

HOLE NO. 3

CORDILLERA VALLEY COURSE, NO. 10, PAR-3, 147 YARDS First off, we’re really happy that Troon Privé took over the Cordillera complex. The company knows how to run golf courses worldwide. After two tough ones, we need a little break with a par-3. Or is it a break? Do enjoy the lovely view the New York Range at the tee box. While there, check the wind, too, and adjust

HOLE NO. 4

SONNENALP, NO. 15, PAR-4, 385 YARDS Just in case you aren’t convinced you’re in the mountains, this one is all downhill. To hit driver or not? It is the eternal question of High Country golf. It’s so tempting on the hole, which doglegs slightly left to a green, surrounded by ponds and bunkers. Do you go with an iron off the tee to find your happy distance for a tough approach? Or do you let it fly? Oh, let the big dog eat. your club selection accordingly. Anything in the ravine is a goner and with this small green, par is always good and birdies rare.

OUTDOOR BEER GARDEN

GYPSUM CREEK GOLF COURSE, PAR-3, NO. 17, 164 YARDS The signature shot of Eagle County golf is the drop-shot par-3, and this one’s a whopper. This is also your reward for getting off the mesa — Gypsum Creek’s stretch of signature holes — in one piece. Our advice? Club down. OK, you didn’t need to be a major winner to know that. With the drop, this hole plays at least 30 yards shorter than the actual distance. Do make a point of watching the wind, which usually comes from your right — and enjoy the air time.

HOLE NO. 6

VAIL GOLF CLUB, NO. 12, PAR-5, 585 YARDS Even at 8,150 feet above sea level, and even though you’re probably not playing it from the tips, this is still one long par-5. This hole is part of the Vail Golf Club’s majestic stretch eastward toward the Gore Range, often snow-capped for most of the season. The temptation on this hole is to swing out of your shoes on the drive, which inevitably leads to a miss, thus making this a par-7. And do watch out for that tree about 115 yards out. For some reason, that tree always comes into play.

HOLE NO. 7

CORDILLERA MOUNTAIN COURSE, NO. 18, PAR-4, 501 YARDS First off, the Cordillera’s Mountain Course is the epitome of mountain golf. All courses around here have elevation change, but they’re mostly going with gravity. Hale Irwin, a CU alum, designed this track with golfers going down and up, which is a lot of fun. This also brings up the concept of really long par-4s here in the High Country. Yes, it’s the tips, but 501 yards in most places is called a par-5. The elevated tee shot needs to land between two lakes, and an undulating green makes for some pressure putting at the end of your round with your golf buddies.

HOLE NO. 8

EAGLE RANCH, NO. 11, PAR-3, 192 YARDS In theory, this is a par-3, but Eagle Ranch’s 11th hole is unofficially known as “the 10

MOUNTAIN GOLF | 2015

shortest par-5 in the county.” This uphill par-3 has a little bit of bailout space, short and left, but otherwise you’re pretty much dead. Long and/or left leaves you with a downhill bunker shot. Short and right is usually in the creek or the very tall grass. This green breaks severely as well. Par is always tremendous, and a birdie should be cause for a day of national celebration.

Yes, it’s a long way down on Eagle-Vail’s 10th. The blue tees, shown here, play about 150 yards, while the whites require a 100-yard shot. photo by dominique taylor

HOLE NO, 9

RED SKY NORMAN NO. 9, 559, PAR-4 See, we weren’t kidding about crazy-long par-4s. This is where we express support for USGA’s and PGA’s Tee It Forward Program. Seriously, if you’re playing the tips here you need a 280-yard drive just to reach the fairway. Bomb it 300 and you still have 250 or so to reach the green in regulation. Play the right set of tees for you. What makes this hole fun from the normal tees is the decisionmaking. Go for it in two to a green guarded by water and a bunker, or lay up? Take your medicine and lay up, unless you really crush that drive.

HOLE NO. 10

EAGLE-VAIL GOLF CLUB, NO. 10, 193 YARDS OK, this is the exception to the rule where you can go play the back tees. Certainly, when you’re playing there, at least ride up to the blues. Yes, this would be quite the drop shot. The tips play more like 150 to 160 yards; the regular white tees play like 100. Just get the ball up in the air and let gravity do the rest. And, if you’re from out of town, go home and brag to friends about how you hit your 7-iron 190 yards— it’s OK to leave out the fact you were hitting off a cliff.

HOLE NO. 11

SONNENALP, NO. 12, PAR-4, 422 YARDS OK, here’s the good news: You’ve got an elevated tee shot. The bad news? There’s a ditch about 300 yards out and the rest of the hole goes upward. Unless you’re a singledigit handicapper, it’s best to break up this hole. After your drive, first get over the ditch and then go for the green. Oh, by the way, if you go long on your approach, you’re beached. Have fun.

The approach to Sonnenalp’s 12 hole, a par-4, is all uphill and requires precision. photo by dominique taylor

HOLE NO. 12

EAGLE RANCH, NO. 12, PAR-5, 569 YARDS Part of Eagle Ranch’s fantastic back nine, this is a great hole in so many ways. No question about it — let the big dog eat on the tee shot. Then the possibilities multiply. Going for the green in two is unlikely, but more power to you if you can do it. Your second-shot question is, “Do I lay up or go for the second fairway?” Water and tall grasses line the right side of the first fairway and guard the second landing area. Once you’ve reached the other side, more challenges await with bunkers guarding the elevated green, which is tough to stick. Just getting to this green is and accomplishment. Good luck not three-putting it. continued on page 28

GOLF CLUB

IGHLIGHTED BY VIEWS OF THE GORE MOUNTAIN RANGE,

Vail’s mountain-style, 18-hole course features unique fairways, smooth putting surfaces and a scenic layout amidst the White River National Forest. The fairways are tree-lined and generally flat, but numerous greenside and fairway bunkers, as well as beaver ponds, will test a golfer’s accuracy. Vail’s course features 7,024 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71. A course rating of 71.4/132 from the back tees and 60.2/103 from the forward tees make it a truly spectacular experience for golfers of all skill levels. Recognized by Golf Digest as a Top 100 Resort Course, golfers enjoy watching their balls fly 10 percent farther in Vail’s high altitude environment, while they challenge themselves on greens that follow the scenic Gore Creek. Designed and built in 1962 by one of Vail’s pioneers, Ben Krueger, Vail’s course continues to be thought of by many as one of the best courses in the Vail Valley — a must-play among locals and guests alike.

• PAR-3, 182/163/99/93/87 YARDS One of two dropping par-3s on the course — the other is the 15th — No. 7 plays about a club-and-a-half shorter from the upper tees than the distance says. The left greenside bunker is always trouble. And as with every hole at Vail, note the pin position. If you’re above the hole, welcome to Three-Putt City. This par-3 starts a majestic stretch of seven holes, which march toward the Gore Range.

• PAR-4, 419/396/358/295/ 220 YARDS No. 11 is as challenging as it is beautiful. Stop at the tee box to take in Gore Creek in front and to your right as well as the Gore Range in the distance. Life doesn’t get much better than this. Then decide how close you want to cut your tee shot. Sending it right gives you a shorter and better approach shot, but Gore Creek will punish the slightly errant shot. A classic risk-reward hole.

HOLE

SIGNATURE HOLES

PAR 5, 532/521/410 This is an incredible finishing hole with the elevated tee start approximately 140 feet above the fairway. With a good tee shot, the green is easily reachable allowing you to finish your round with a birdie. Beware of the temptation to swing too hard as the fairway is fairly narrow in the landing area. Accuracy is most important off the tee.

PAR-3, 197/133, 125 YARDS First off, get your camera out — this is not your average par-3. Then club down on this cliff shot. The blue tees are 197 yards, but drops 185 feet in elevation and will play more like 150-155 yards. The whites, yellows and reds play like a 100-yard shot. Enjoy the flight of your shot and do avoid the back and right bunkers.

• Foot Golf, a combination of soccer and golf, is available at the Willow Creek Par 3 course daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Prices are the same as Par 3 golf. The rules largely correspond to the rules of golf, Playing in groups of four, players compete to kick the soccer ball from the tee box into the cup with the least number of kicks. Each kick is considered a “stroke,” much like golf. WHISKEY HILL GOLF GRILL The EagleVail Golf Club’s clubhouse restaurant, Whiskey Hill Golf Grill, is open daily 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nightly specials include Monday Night Burger night, Wednesday night Pork Tacos and more.

Call for details or reservations: 970-477-5353 SIGNATURE HOLES No. 15 Bombs away with your driver - the rough to the right of the fairway should kick your ball back towards the center.

Don't try to cut the corner of this slight dogleg - all you'll find is scrub, trees and the first pond on the left. Go strong at the pin with your approach shot as the green slopes from back to front. Missing right is better than left, as all three ponds can come into play, adding unwanted penalty strokes. No. 12 This tricky par 4 seems short, but a grassy ditch across the fairway and a steep uphill climb to the green present very challenging obstacles to par. Local knowledge - only the very biggest hitters can think about clearing the ditch on the drive. Lay up and be sure to land on the left side of the fairway to take the huge trees that shade the bridge out of the equation. Take an extra club or two on your approach as it is farther uphill to the green than you think. Play this hole intelligently, with shorter and more accurate shots throughout, or you'll find yourself with an unwanted big number on your scorecard. 2015 | MOUNTAIN GOLF

A great risk reward par 5 with a meandering creek fronting the green, strategically placed bunkers, and Norman’s signature bent grass surrounds challenging those that miss the green.

With dramatic views of Vail’s legendary Game Creek Bowl this downhill par 3 will test all skill levels as the green is severely sloped making proper club selection a must.

EAGLE RANCH GOLF CLUB E

AGLE RANCH GOLF CLUB is elevating the game of golf in Eagle County. Located in the beautiful small town of Eagle, just 30 minutes west of Vail, the majestic Rocky Mountains provide a spectacular setting for the Arnold Palmer Signature Design Course. The course opened in 2001 as part of a new, master-planned residential community. With the addition of the golf course and other fantastic amenities such as an outdoor pool, ice rink, recreation trails and fitness center, Eagle is an idyllic place to live and play. The open, rolling fairways lead to large, undulating greens that play fast. There’s water on most holes and strategically-placed bunkers throughout. Eagle Ranch demands accuracy, but with five sets of tees, there’s fairness for golfers of all abilities. The course is popular among locals who enjoy its challenging layout, excellent course conditions and the longer season from early April to mid-November. What really separates Eagle Ranch Golf Club is the friendly atmosphere. The staff will greet you with a smile and, very likely, by name. The clubhouse features a well-appointed golf shop and the Grille offers a great menu for the golfer. If that’s not enough, the practice facility is wide and long with excellent turf conditions, too.

SIGNATURE HOLE

5 • PAR-3 This downhill par-3 has a large green with plenty of trouble surrounding it. From the higher tees, you should hit less club since you are hitting downhill. Obviously, you will want to avoid the pond on the front left, but the bunker on the right is very difficult to get up-and-down from. There is a lot of slope in this green toward the pond, so choose your placement wisely.

HOLE

SIGNATURE HOLE

12 • PAR-5

HOLE

This could be the most beautiful and demanding hole on the course. Favor the left side of this narrow fairway as most shots will tend to bounce to the right. You may have a decision to make on your second shot as you might want to lay up short of the creek. Keep in mind that this hole is uphill, so you may need more club than usual for the yardage. Once you are on the green, there is a little slope from back right to front left.

HOLE NO. 13

VAIL GOLF CLUB, NO. 14, PAR-4, 400 YARDS Not that a 400-yard, par-4 is short, but we’re testing your brain on our fantasy back nine. We want to see you distance on the front. How do you handle thinking your way around a golf course on the back? With that, we give you Vail’s 14th, a risk-reward hole. Your drive determines what you will do next because the green is elevated and guarded by Gore Creek. A

long iron to this green is generally a bad idea. There’s also the fact it’s a two-tiered putting surface. Note the pin position. Even if you get there in two, if you’re on the wrong level, you’ll be singing “The Three-Putt Bogey Blues.”

HOLE NO. 14

CORDILLERA SUMMIT COURSE, NO. 12, PAR-4, 464 YARDS When Jack Nicklaus dedicated this course, which he designed, he said he could have built it to 8,000 The 12th hole at the Vail Golf Club is in the shadows of the Gore Range. photo by preston utley

yards. Thankfully he didn’t. The Summit is plenty of golf as it is at more than 9,000 feet above sea level. You need a long drive here, which has to carry a rock outcropping. The second shot on the par-4 is downhill over a lake. Like both of the Red Sky courses, you are sitting on top of the world here.

HOLE NO. 15

GYPSUM CREEK GOLF COURSE, NO. 15, PAR-5, 568 YARDS Part of the vaunted mesa, a series of desert-style holes at Gypsum Creek, this is a beast. Start your tee shot slightly right as the fairway slides from right to left. And, when in doubt, just keep it in play on this hole. Sagebrush lines the right side of the fairway. Trees and nothing you want lines the left. For your approach, make sure you’re at your happy distance to carry an arroyo onto a short green. For some reason, this is the No. 2-handicapped hole at Gypsum Creek. For our money, it’s the hardest hole in Eagle County.

HOLE NO. 16

EAGLE-VAIL GOLF CLUB, NO. 16, PAR-4, 318 YARDS

“To hit driver or not? It is the eternal question of High Country golf.” 28

MOUNTAIN GOLF | 2015

This hole is short, but deadly, and the second of two tricky par-4s with elevated greens, protected by Stone Creek. You want 200 or so yards off the tee, so using a driver is out. The shortest way to the pin is a fade, but there’s water along the right. Most try the left side, but still an even lie for your approach shot is rare. Club up for the approach and note the pin position.

Eagle-Vail redid this green during its remodel a few years ago, but it’s still treacherous. Good luck if the pin is up front.

HOLE NO. 17

RED SKY FAZIO, NO. 17, PAR-3, 168 YARDS Time for a knee-knocker late in your round. This is perfectly positioned hole on the Fazio course as your bets with your friends are coming down to the wire — or you’re pursuing the goal of breaking 100, 90 or 80. It’s an elevated tee shot over water to a two-tiered green. Pick your club and commit to it. And just for fun, there are bunkers short and long.

HOLE NO. 18

EAGLE RANCH GOLF CLUB, NO. 18, PAR-4, 478 YARDS Eagle Ranch’s home hole is one of the twins — adjacent long par-4s separated by water — at the Arnold Palmer-designed course. There is more fairway out there than it appears from the tee, but water looms right for you, especially if you’re tired and don’t compete your swing. Your approach is even tougher as right is in the drink and left is “The Valley of Sin,” a very difficult chip onto the green. Par is always good here.
