Signature Holes

Hole 18 · Par 5 "The Dragon's Lair"

The finishing hole returns to the Frank Lloyd Wright clubhouse in dramatic fashion — a long par-5 that winds through canyon terrain with the famous FLW roofline visible from the 150-yard marker. Every golfer who plays The Dragon remembers this approach.

Hole 7 · Par 3

Plays over a canyon chasm to a green with no bail-out. The Feather River gorge is fully visible below. Slope 147 is earned here.
