Lee Trevino Course
The Trevino Signature Course is built along a hilly terrain with a variety of hole designs featuring ample landing
zones and mostly elevated tee areas. There are 5 sets of tees that play to distances and slopes that measure
7120 yards yards/136 slope, 6710 yards/132 slope, 6258 yards/128 slope, 5650 yards/129 slope for women
and 5193 yards with a slope of 124 for ladies hitting from the front tee areas. There are 72 strategically placed
sand bunkers and water hazards come into play on 3 holes.
The first six holes play through woodlands with some tight driving holes, but the remainder of the layout is fairly
open and not as undulating. The vistas from the elevated tees on the first three holes are especially memorable.
Several holes favor a left to right shot shape with careful placement necessary to navigate the strategic doglegs
. For more info, visit our page for the course with direct link at their website by clicking here.
