The Round
The Journey at Canyon Gate Country Club
I.
The Opening
Canyon Gate opens with a 545-yard par 5 that lets players swing freely off the tee, as long as they avoid the water on the right. The 372-yard 2nd plays up to an elevated green, and the 441-yard 3rd, the No. 2 handicap, has out-of-bounds down both sides. The 166-yard 4th punishes anything long, the 344-yard 5th tempts a driver it does not need, and the 196-yard 6th plays over water.
II.
The Middle
The 526-yard 7th is a straightaway par 5 with a pond guarding the green, and the 385-yard 8th has a green that is hard to hit. Water is in play off the tee on the 399-yard 9th. The back nine opens with another par 5, the 523-yard 10th, followed by the uphill 420-yard 11th with bunkers around its green and the 243-yard 12th, the longest par 3.
III.
The Finish
The 385-yard 13th has a narrow fairway between water on the left and a bunker on the right. The 297-yard 14th plays to an elevated green with water in front, and the 405-yard 15th, the No. 1 handicap, has bunkers in the middle of the fairway. The 484-yard 16th is the last par 5, the 223-yard 17th has a ridge through its green, and the 415-yard 18th finishes between water and bunkers.
How to Play It
Canyon Gate Country Club — Playing Strategy
Beginner / High Handicap
Water is in play off the first tee and again on the 6th, 7th, 9th and 13th, so pick targets that keep the ball dry. On the 5th, the club's own tip is to take less than driver, and on the 7th, lay up to a comfortable yardage because a pond guards the green. Walking is permitted if you prefer it to a cart.
Intermediate / Mid Handicap
Stay below the hole on the 2nd, where the approach plays to an elevated green, and do not go long on the 4th. The two long par 3s, the 243-yard 12th and the 223-yard 17th, decide plenty of rounds; on the 17th, a ridge splits the green, so find the correct tier. On the 18th, the green also has a large ridge through the middle.
Advanced / Low Handicap
Rated 72.6 with a 137 slope at only 6,769 yards, Canyon Gate rewards accuracy over length. On the 15th and 16th, a drive that carries the bunkers in the middle of the landing area leaves a much easier second shot. The 3rd, with out-of-bounds on both sides, is the tee shot to play conservatively, and the 14th's water short of an elevated green punishes a loose wedge.
