Mountain Course
This stunning panoramic view of the Mountain Golf Course was designed by Todd Schoeder and three-time U.S. Open Champion Hale Irwin. They used the land’s dramatic terrain and extraordinary landscape to inspire the course’s unique strategy and playability.

Showdown
Hole 18
Even at 611 yards long, the architects designed tee #18 to be reachable in two, a risk/reward hole, thus named Showdown.
Mountain Course
Hole 17
The #17 green, along with every other green on the course, was individually crafted and shaped on-site by the architect.
Mountain Course
Glacier Cliffs
Hole 16
Hermosa Cliff in the background is 1.35 miles away from tee #16. The Hermosa Cliff reaches 10,279 feet and is best hiked via the Goulding Creek Trail. From the peak, you’re rewarded with a stunning view of all 36 holes.
Mountain Course
Gambler
Hole 15
The original back tee was 50 yards longer and 70 feet higher, but was abandoned during construction. This picturesque and sublime hole is the favorite of designer Hale Irwin.
Mountain Course
Wesley's Climb
Hole 14
Tee #14 has the largest green on the course at 7,215 square feet, measuring 144 feet long with over 6 feet of elevation change from front-to-back. At 7,215 square feet, the green is over 1.5 times the size of an NBA basketball court.
Mountain Course
Lucky U
Hole 13
Tee #13 was named by Schoeder’s 15 year old daughter, Madison. According to her, “Anyone who plays at Glacier sure is lucky!”
Mountain Course
Dolly
Hole 12
Tee #12 is golf architect Todd Schoeder’s favorite hole. For golf designer Hale Irwin, it’s hole #15. Let the debate continue.
Mountain Course
Seventy Nine Fifty
Hole 11
Back tee #11 is the highest point on the golf course at 7,950 feet above sea level and there is 581 feet of elevation change across the 18-hole golf course. Back tee #2 is the lowest point at 7,369 feet.
Mountain Course
Horseshoe
Hole 10
Over 15,000 cubic yards of granite were blasted and removed to build tee #10, and over 120,000 cubic yards were blasted for the entire 18 holes.
Mountain Course
Grandma's Curve
Hole 9
Because of tee #9’s proximity to Chris Park, the green location was moved four times to receive ACOE approval for construction. It’s also quite common to see black bears and one resident mountain lion crossing this fairway.
Mountain Course
Ambush
Hole 8
On a clear day from tee #8, you have a stunning view of Engineer Mountain 13.5 miles to the north. Engineer Mountain tops out at 12,968 feet and is rated a class 3 hike/climb (not for the faint of heart).
Mountain Course
Hole 7
Actual gold nuggets were unearthed on tee #7 during construction of the golf course.
Mountain Course
Stagecoach
Hole 6
On tee #6 lies remnants of the historic Animas Cañyon Toll Road (1875), a vital trail between Animas City and Silverton that freighters, stagecoach drivers and miners used to extract and transport the riches of silver and gold from the San Juan Mountains.
Mountain Course
Mark's Meadow
Hole 5
A coin toss decided the fate of the center fairway bunker on #5. Should it remain or be removed? The architect won and it stayed.
Mountain Course
Glacier Pond
Hole 4
The pond is an actual glacier pothole that was discovered by the architect on a site visit, which was incorporated into the course routing and converted to a pristine glacier pond.
Mountain Course
Gold Mine
Hole 3
The architects wanted to create a memorable green by “burying an elephant” (in golf design vernacular) in the middle. As luck would have it, an existing large granite seam bisecting the green formed the shape you see today.

Mountain Course
Fairway to Heaven
Hole 1
The “Clubhouse-Tee” is 177 feet higher than the #1 green. Due to the average elevation of 7,600 feet above sea level on the Mountain Course, the golf ball will travel approximately 8% to 15% longer.
Valley Course
Marmot Run
Hole 18
Correct play bites off as much of the lake as possible on the right side of the hole to have a go at reaching this green in two. Twin, deep bunkers protect the elevated, two-tiered green and it is tricky to putt. The approach plays through a narrow opening guarded by a lone Ponderosa pine and Gamble oaks.
Valley Course
Cliff Palace
Hole 17
This is a deceptive, medium-length par three over water to an angled green. A soft, left-to-right tee shot is the best play to avoid the lake on the front and right. A successful tee shot should leave a good birdie opportunity; this is a friendly putting surface.
Valley Course
Hermosa Cliffs
Hole 16
This is a moderately long straightaway that plays south down the valley. A lake runs down the entire right side of the hole and cliffs down the left. After a well-placed tee shot, the approach shot requires precise iron play to a small green that has roll-offs on all sides and water protecting the right edge.
Valley Course
Black Bear
Hole 15
This hole is a short downhill, dogleg-right with a generous landing area free of hazards. A driver is probably not the best choice. An unforgiving bunker guards the front right portion of the green with the putting surface elevated about 15 feet above the landing area.
Valley Course
Aspen
Hole 14
You will need a precise iron shot off the tee on this par three, but if you hit the green keep watching. This hole yields the most hole-in-ones per year.
Valley Course
Gun Barrel
Hole 13
This short downhill doglegs left through thickets of Gambel oak and Ponderosa pine. Big hitters may go for the green but it is a blind shot. The money shot is a long iron from the tee to the middle of the fairway and a short iron to a green guarded by a bunker right. This green slopes right to left and can be very quick.
Valley Course
Lone Pine
Hole 12
The fairway turns left to right and after the tee shot plays straight uphill. The native area that frames the left side of the second landing area is closer than you think. A towering Ponderosa pine in the right center makes the third shot difficult and punishes errant second shots from the longer hitters
Valley Course
Gamble
Hole 11
A hard-hit left-to-right tee shot offers the best chance to reach the green in one, but the best strategy may be to place an iron off the tee and wedge it on. The green is fast and tricky with a shelf running diagonally through the middle. Although short, this hole is sure to produce as many bogeys as birdies.
Valley Course
Goulding Creek
Hole 10
The back nine begins with a par four that doglegs right around a beautiful mountain lake. The elevated tee shot needs to be hit solid and hug the left. Remaining will be a long uphill approach to a green that slopes from back to front, so beware if you are past the hole — it is very slippery.
Valley Course
Ponderosa
Hole 9
Surrounded by towering Ponderosa pine, this short, uphill par four demands a well-placed tee shot. The hole doglegs left, while a deep bunker guards the left side of the green. A long iron or fairway wood from the tee and a short iron second is the percentage play.
Valley Course
Deer Run
Hole 8
This dogleg-right par four is flanked by a lake far left and a creek right. The best angle of approach to the putting surface is from the left side of the hole near the fairway bunker. A solid tee shot leaves a short iron to a small, undulating green. Take enough club to avoid the creek in front of the green.
Valley Course
Cliffhanger
Hole 7
This dogleg-left par four has a severe drop-off that guards the left side of the hole and fairway bunkers protect the right. A driver is not always the best choice from the tee. The putting surface lies some 40 feet below the fairway, protected by a lake left and bunkers right. You cannot error left on this hole.
Valley Course
Needles
Hole 6
Arguably the most difficult one-shot hole on the golf course. Two bunkers in the front, set well below the putting surface, guard a small, severely sloping green. The uphill climb of 30 feet makes the hole play longer than its measured yardage. Make sure you have enough club from the tee and a soft touch with the putter.
Valley Course
Iron Horse
Hole 5
Several fairway bunkers identify potential lines of play from tee to green. A well-struck drive over the left fairway bunker provides the shortest route to the flag stick but also offers the greatest risk. The green is large and undulating, requiring a deft touch with the putter.
Valley Course
Missionary Ridge
Hole 4
This downhill Par 3 puts position off the tee as a premium. While club selection is crucial, the most difficult pins are back left as the Ponderosa pines block out incoming approaches.
Valley Course
Broken Arrow
Hole 3
This straightaway hole is the longest of the par fours you will play. A tee shot that must carry a ravine and a long uphill climb make this a real test.
Valley Course
Elk Crossing
Hole 2
This straightaway par five requires a good drive to a narrow landing area with water on the left and a fairway bunker on the right. A well-struck drive may bring you within striking distance of the green, which is small and perched above two deep bunkers on the left. Favor the right side.
Valley Course
Mesa Verde
Hole 1
The starting hole requires a well-placed tee shot remaining on top of a narrow tree-lined plateau fairway leaving a second shot to a green that lies some 60 feet below. Because of the elevation change, the approach shot should require one less club than the yardage suggests.
