Tower Course
INSPIRED BY THE LAND.
“It’s beautiful, rolling country with Ponderosa Pine you wouldn’t believe,” Von Hagge said. “We have some spectacular open meadows and marshlands, so we have all the natural elements we need to create a premier, world-class facility.”
Since 1999, Torreon owners and guests have enjoyed this spectacular championship course. Every hole is distinctive as well as memorable. Throughout, the design adapts to the natural environment. Seven different lakes were created along the route of the course, and each green has its own personality. The Tower Course is distinguished by many forced carries for approach shots to the greens. The ninth hole ends at the Clubhouse for snacks and beverages at the turn. It is just as exciting for the low-handicap golfer as it is to those just falling in love with the game.
Torreon golf courses are open for play April through November each year and closed for the months of December through March.
Tower Course Featured Holes
Hole 8 – Par 5 (593 yards)
The longest of the par fives, this double dogleg can be shortened slightly by attempting to carry the first bunker complex on the right. From here the hole plays downhill and to the left and again requires a shot over a series of pot bunkers to cheat the hole of its length.
Hole 15 – Par 3 (181 yards)
Even though this is a short par three, there is no margin for error on this hole. The putting surface is a medium size target but is protected by a small pond in front and three sand bunkers surrounding the left side of the green. The less courageous should play to the right side of this hole.
Cabin Course
FRESH OPPORTUNITIES TO FINE TUNE YOUR GAME.
The 18-hole Cabin Course opened in 2007. The trio of architects, Von Hagge, Smelek and Baril created a unique golf experience to compliment the sister course. As beautiful and exciting as the Tower, the Cabin Course presents fresh opportunities to fine tune your game. Featuring more elevation changes, this is a classic nine holes out and nine holes back to the Clubhouse course. The “Cabin” restaurant and snack shop is located after the ninth hole for a quick bite at the turn and a casual lunch or dinner with friends.
Torreon owners and guests have 36-holes of breathtaking mountain golf to test their mettle.
Torreon golf courses are open for play April through November each year and closed for the months of December through March.
Cabin Course Featured Holes
Hole 9 – Par 3 (237 yards)
The ninth hole on the Cabin Course is a par 3 measuring 237 yards from the back tee. The hole features a penalizing wash that runs from the front of the tee box down the left side of the hole. The perfect shot is a high draw that avoids the sand bunker and the wash.
Hole 12 – Par 3 (162 yards)
The twelfth hole on the Cabin Course is a deceptive par 3 that measures only 162 yards. The green is framed by water and fronted by a small pot bunker. Take one less club on this downhill par 3 to avoid the water behind the green.
