Preserving the natural beauty, rocky outcrops and undulating terrain of the mountain, this excellent golf course allows players to enjoy nature, first hand. The course has been constructed to USGA standards and is maintained in year round tournament condition. With a 150 yard drop in elevation from the clubhouse to the lake below, a terraced effect has been created. All 18 holes provide stunning views of the lake, especially from holes 8 to 11. Measuring all of 7,204 yards from the championship tees, the Lake Course is the ultimate challenge of links-style golf, where emphasis is placed on accuracy. Each hole has been shaped to offer a variety of lies for play to the green. In typical Trent Jones fashion, the design of the course calls for golfers to seriously think about every shot and placement. Sitting at 2100 metres above sea level, the rarefied atmosphere gives extra distance on each correctly struck shot. On most afternoons, gusting westerly winds tend to blow directly on the steeply sloping Lake Course, making play more challenging. Missing a fairway will often necessitate in another ball having to be played.
