Trickle Creek Golf Resort rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Check your GPS or yardage book for elevation changes on every shot, as a 150-yard shot can play significantly shorter or longer depending on the slope.

Factor in the thin mountain air, which typically adds about a club of distance compared to sea level.
