The Round
The Journey at Durango Hills Golf Club
I.
The Opening
Durango Hills begins with seven straight par 3s, and the first six run from the 124-yard 6th, the shortest hole on the course, to the 205-yard 2nd. The 157-yard 1st leads to the 2nd and the 192-yard 3rd, a pair of long irons this early; the 154-yard 4th and the 171-yard 5th follow. Every hole on this desert-style course has bunkering, and the greens are undulating.
II.
The Middle
The 163-yard 7th completes the opening run of par 3s before the 317-yard 8th, the only par 4 on the front nine. The club's signature hole is the 9th, a par 3 with water guarding the right side and views to the Snow and Sheep mountains. The back nine opens with the 170-yard 10th, the par-4 11th, rated No. 3, and the 148-yard 12th.
III.
The Finish
The 130-yard 13th is rated the easiest hole, and the 170-yard 14th leads to the 329-yard 15th, the second par 4 of the inward nine. The 218-yard 16th is the longest par 3 on the course and the No. 1 handicap. The 168-yard 17th comes before the 358-yard 18th, the last of the course's four par 4s. Views of Red Rock and the Snow and Sheep ranges carry through the round.
How to Play It
Durango Hills Golf Club — Playing Strategy
Beginner / High Handicap
There is no driving range, only warm-up nets and a putting green, so arrive early and use them. With fourteen par 3s, accuracy with the irons matters more than distance. On the 9th, aim left of center to stay away from the water on the right, and treat the 218-yard 16th, the hardest hole, as a bogey hole.
Intermediate / Mid Handicap
Only four holes are par 4s, and the 317-yard 8th and 329-yard 15th are short enough that driver is optional; a fairway wood or hybrid that finds the short grass is the better play. With bunkers on every hole, the center of the green is the target on the three longest par 3s: the 205-yard 2nd, the 192-yard 3rd and the 218-yard 16th.
Advanced / Low Handicap
Durango Hills comes down to iron distance control and putting on undulating greens. Three par 3s play 190 yards or more from the back, the 2nd, 3rd and 16th, and the 16th is the No. 1 handicap. The 9th's water on the right pushes approaches left, so attack its flag only when it sits on the left side of the green.
