Basic Information
Opening in 2002 to rave reviews, Rustic Canyon Golf Course is a tribute to the very roots of the game with a lay-of-the-land creation by Gil Hanse Golf Design. Built without detailed blueprints or working drawings, Hanse shaped the large contoured, free-form green complexes and sculpted the bunkers from the natural landscape preserving and incorporating into the design the native barrancas. The canyon hills are dotted with sagebrush, cactus, waves of brome, and stipa grass highlighted by a few picturesque oaks.
Challenging the Rustic Canyon layout is an exercise in restraint, with flat, wide-open fairways that fade into the native surroundings and bunkers edged with shaggy eyebrows of thick, drooping fescue. The ground game is critical as the greens play to a bump & run approach. Rustic Canyon is a strategic course for golfers who savor the discovery of a proper approach position on an expansive fairway to best attack the green depending on the pin location.

Here is very fun course, I enjoyed the beautiful mountain view. Natural hazards, but strategic course layout and arrangement. Green looks large, but undulation and grain of the green is very strategic. Putting is key for score making. I shall replay here again. 50 45 95..
会社の同僚からのおススメで行ってみたのですが、非常に良いCourseでした。偶然、同じPartyで一緒に回った人がゴルフコースの設計関連の仕事をしている人らしく、ここを回るためにわざわざSan Franciscoから来たというぐらい。こんな雄大な自然の中にコースは、日本では作れないでしょう。 予約が取りづらく、週末はほぼ埋まってしまうので、平日に取るしかない。
