The Old Edwards Club is open to guests of the exclusive, Old Edwards Inn & Spa in Highlands.
The layout lulls you into complacency on the "Cove" front side as it weaves through a valley along tree lined fairways, numerous water hazards, and sand bunkers guarding the greens. The "Highland" backside beginning on the 10th, takes you on a roller coaster ride along the crest of the Eastern Continental Divide with 150-250 foot drops in elevation from tee to green and is as exciting as it is scenic. There's four sets of tees overall from 4,611 yards to 6,606 yards at the tips, the middle tees play to 6,002 yards, 68.3/133, course/slope ratings, designed by Tom Jackson.
There's also the 12 hole, par 3 Saddle Course designed by Beau Welling. The holes range from 100 yards to 180 yards with a variety of tee boxes and feature Redan and Biarritz greens. The course is named for the land mass in the distance connecting two peaks and the Moonshine Falls at the second green is named after an old still found there in construction.
