The original Squaw Valley course, Apache Links, opened in 1992–a Jeff Brauer design that is open on the front and more densely wooded on the back. Brauer’s work involved bringing in dirt to provide some mounding to the flat terrain, and he placed the course along a scenic creek that comes into play, mostly on the back.

No. 9 is the best hole on the front because of its split fairway. Macho men can go for the green by aiming over the lake–otherwise it plays a pedestrian 362 yards if you choose the left side, where it doglegs around the lake.

On the back, Nos. 15 and 16 are back-to-back par 4s that you’ll be glad to get out of the way. The 15th rolls 462 yards and doglegs right, requiring a tee shot over the creek. The long approach is especially challenging due to the long row of trees at the corner of the green. Hole 16 features an elevated green above Squaw Creek. Play for position off the tee because the hole is not long.

Good course but no drinking water available on the course.

The overall course and experience was great . The only issue i had was there was no drinking water available on course unless you caught the beverage cart girl so stock up before teeing off

Great staff &Great greens

In the drought the staff has taken extreme care of what matters. The greens were soft and well cared for. Staff was polite and knowledgeable. My young children could enjoy alongside me. Great course!

Very nice course

It was over 100 degrees out and they had no water anywhere to drink, wet a towel or refill your water bottle. Every-other course I’ve been playing within 50miles has water stations. No-one I talked to could understand other than to force you to buy from concession stand.

Good course

Course was in pretty good shape considering the heat and lack of rain. The greens were recently punched but should be back to normal in a week or so. The only negative is that there is NO water coolers anywhere on course. That could get dangerous in this intense heat. Overall, worth the drive!

Not bad for Texas heat

Conditions were fair. Greens were dry and rough.

T boxes were hard as a rock. Fairways were good.

Golf Pass made the price reasonable.
