A succession of three holes, Faith, Hope and Charity, Nos. 4-6, offer awesome views of the Feather River far below and surrounding canyons. All have slippery contours and can frustrate any golfer with numerous three-putts. Go too far left and your ball will fall 200 feet into the Feather River Canyon. From an elevated tee the green is tiny and is perched on the edge of the deep gorge.
Deep bunkers guard the right and front.
You have to be accurate to par this one. Dragon Lagoon, No. 10, a par 5 at only 433, has downhill terraced tee boxes with a panorama of the distant mountains and the lagoon in your line of site. A Watch for the Gold Mountain Resort, designed by Taliesin Architects, to open in 2001. We hope to open 20 units this summer and 60 total over the next three summers. Dragon Photos by Joann Dost.
