Writer Standing on the first tee at Gold Canyon's Sidewinder course, it's hard to imagine how this could be an affordable track. An elevated tee box looks down on 487 yards from the tips.
Water runs down the left side of the fairway and comes into play about halfway down the hole.
This is one nice golf hole. That's just hard to believe. Well, believe it. Sidewinder's self image is most affected by the much heralded Dinosaur Mountain course, located on the same grounds. That's the same Dinosaur Mountain that was named the No. 2 public course in the state last year and stands a great chance of being first in 2000.
