Length 7063 yards
Slope 130
Rating 73.6

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.

Great Track!

Friendly, welcoming staff. Fun course! Loved all the moguls. Land your drive in the fairway or you will be hitting from the side of a hill! Good use of Squaw Creek too!

Two very nice courses

We played both golf courses over one weekend. They are very different. One being a links style layout and the other features more trees and water. Each course is challenging and we’re in very good shape. The staff was great and the prices were very reasonable. We are planning to make it a once a year Weekend get together.

19th Hole

Could not get a cold beer at the Rooster.Don’t understand why you can’t get a cold beer at the end of a round at the Rooster.When you take a beer out of the cooler you replace it with another so you keep having cold beer.How hard can that be?

Took the wife

Me and the wife went today. The course played great. The wildlife was beautiful. It was awesome that they allowed a veteran to set up to solicite donations for other veterans to assist with cost of rehabilitation and suicide prevention.

A favorite course

Course is recovering well from winter kill. Close to being really good. Bad part is its the only course that I know of in Texas without any water on the course for players, Someone will sue them for heat stroke one of these summer days.
