Hole #1
- Black ~ 388 yards
- White ~ 360 yards
- Gold ~ 349 yards
- Red ~ 349 yards
Although it looks relatively simple with no bunkers or water hazards, this hole can be tough, unless you hit a straight drive down the middle. Hit your approach to the correct side of the back to front sloping green.
|
|
Hole #2
- Black ~ 374 yards
- White ~ 358 yards
- Gold ~ 306 yards
- Red ~ 306 yards
This dog-leg right par 4 will test your ability to place a tee shot on the left side of the fairway. If not, you will be hitting around or under the trees which protect the right side.
|
|
Hole #3
- Black ~ 151 yards
- White ~ 138 yards
- Gold ~ 125 yards
- Red ~ 125 yards
Number 3 is a 125-150 yard par 3 with a deep bunker in front penalizing the player attempting to get too close to the front pin. Play for the middle of the green and make a good putt.
|
|
Hole #4
- Black ~ 507 yards
- White ~ 483 yards
- Gold ~ 475 yards
- Red ~ 422 yards
Hole 4 is a short par 5 that is reachable with a good drive leaving a player 200 to 230 out. Your drive needs to be very accurate as trees protect both sides of the fairway. Hitting a shorter drive to the dog-leg is a good option and then 2 shots to the green for your par.

|
Hole #5
- Black ~ 418 yards
- White ~ 407 yards
- Gold ~ 395 yards
- Red ~ 286 yards
A long par 4 - #5 is one of the toughest pars at Cripple Creek. A bunker on the right will collect poorly hit tee shots. A well struck drive will leave you with a long to mid-iron to a well protected green. A back left pin is hard to reach, making par an excellent score.

|
Hole #6
- Black ~ 437 yards
- White ~ 402 yards
- Gold ~ 384 yards
- Red ~ 384 yards
This dog-leg right features a pond at the dog-leg turn and another pond on the far side of the fairway that is found by the long hitter who gets too aggressive. Out-of-bounds on the right and a long narrow green with severe slopes, making this hole a terrific challenge.
|
|
Hole #7
- Black ~ 216 yards
- White ~ 171 yards
- Gold ~ 105 yards
- Red ~ 105 yards
Hole 7 is a fairly straight forward par 3 over water to a large green. A mid to long iron is required to find the green which slopes severely back to front. A tee shot hit to the left or right of the green can easily find trouble, making for a difficult pitch back to the green.
|
|
Hole #8
- Black ~ 407 yards
- White ~ 330 yards
- Gold ~ 320 yards
- Red ~ 320 yards
A tight driving area and water in front of a severely sloping and mounted green make #8 a tough, although short, test of your sot-making ability. Long hitters will lay-up from the tee and hit a short iron to a green that punishes a poorly placed approach.
|
|
Hole #9
- Black ~ 406 yards
- White ~ 378 yards
- Gold ~ 347 yards
- Red ~ 347 yards
Hit a solid, accurate drive and you are well positioned to attack the green. Be too aggressive with your drive and you will find yourself blocked by the trees and a lay-up will be necessary.
|
|
Hole #10
- Black ~ 330 yards
- White ~ 313 yards
- Gold ~ 297 yards
- Red ~ 297 yards
A short, straight-forward par 4 to begin your back 9. The pin placement determines which side of the fairway is your target. Just make sure you keep the ball left of the two bunkers on the right.
|
|
Hole #11
- Black ~ 343 yards
- White ~ 320 yards
- Gold ~ 308 yards
- Red ~ 258 yards
This par 4 requires an accurate tee shot to avoid bunkers short right and mounds in the rough on the left. When the pin is placed on the left side of the green, you face a tough approach over a large bunker protecting that side of the green.
|
|
Hole #12
- Black ~ 325 yards
- White ~ 309 yards
- Gold ~ 281 yards
- Red ~ 281 yards
A short drivable par 4 for the long hitter. Everyone else should stay right of the bunker on the left. You’ll be left with a short iron into a large green that slopes from back to front. Be sure to keep the ball below the hole here.
|
|
Hole #13
- Black ~ 139 yards
- White ~ 121 yards
- Gold ~ 104 yards
- Red ~ 104 yards
The classic Cripple Creek par 3. A short iron shot plays to a large green protected by a pond on the left, wetlands on the right, and Indian River behind. You’ll need accuracy and nerve to hit it close to most pins on this hole and, when the wind is blowing, a bit of luck.

|
Hole #14
- Black ~ 505 yards
- White ~ 491 yards
- Gold ~ 449 yards
- Red ~ 449 yards
This par 5 dog-leg left requires an accurate tee-shot threaded between the saltmarsh on the left and bunkers and out-of-bound on the right. A long drive in the fairway is rewarded with an opportunity to reach the green in 2, but the smart play is generally an iron shot laying-up to reach the green in 3 with a wedge. This long, but narrow green slopes back to front and is protected by hazards on the front and left side and trees on the right.
|
|
Hole #15
- Black ~ 345 yards
- White ~ 307 yards
- Gold ~ 270 yards
- Red ~ 261 yards
This short, dog-leg left par 4 requires a well placed drive into the fairway. Longer hitter will choose to lay-up to protect from driving through the fairway or going too far left into the pond. A well-protected green will test your short-iron approach.
|
|
Hole #16
- Black ~ 219 yards
- White ~ 197 yards
- Gold ~ 144 yards
- Red ~ 144 yards
Hole 16 is a tough par 3 requiring a well hit shot to a two-tiered green. With out-of-bounds on the right and a pond on the left, a straight shot is required. It is better to be short than long on this one.
|
|
Hole #17
- Black ~ 602 yards
- White ~ 549 yards
- Gold ~ 533 yards
- Red ~ 512 yards
Many members look at #17 as the most intimidating hole on the course. This long par 5 has water running the length of the right-hand side and in front of the green. Don’t hit too far left, though, or the out of bounds will come into play. After 2 well hit shots, you’ll face a short iron across water to a tough , sloping green.
|
|
Hole #18
- Black ~ 470 yards
- White ~ 431 yards
- Gold ~ 375 yards
- Red ~ 375 yards
The finishing hole is the most challenging par 4 on the course, requiring a strong drive working left to right to have any hope of reaching the green in two. This hole is bordered by trees on both sides. The green is long and narrow, requiring a very accurate approach.
