Don't be fooled. Few of Aspen's golf courses are as flat as this one. The number of elevation changes you'll find on most of these courses will make you feel you're riding the Cyclone at Coney Island, so take advantage of this layout's relatively flat terrain. Legend has it that Academy Award winner Jack Nicholson was removed from the course on the 12th green after depositing more than his ball into the cup during a marathon 18-martini round. The course is solid.
Most holes are fairly tight with ample hazards.
If you drive it short, you'll be forced to carry water at the dogleg on the approach. Furthermore, the club is known for having an excellent junior program. My playing partners reflected the diversity of Aspen perfectly. You'll definitely have to pull some strings to get on this private course, but it'd be well worth cashing in any favors to play this track. When President Clinton arrived for a round last year, the weather was un-golf like, to say the least.
