The elevated tee box starts your round with a spectacular view of Pikes Peak, the Front Range and the Air Force Academy. This straight, downhill hole requires a well place drive for easy access to this open, fairly flat green. Long hitters can go over the windmill to clear the creek, while others should place their drives in the fairway to the left of the windmill and pond.

This longest hole at Gleneagle is a straight and narrow par 5 with the most bunkers of any hole on the course (5) - one guards the right side of the tee landing area, two more guard the 2nd shot landing area, and two more gobble errant shots to the right and left of the green. Long hitters can reach the green in two, while others can easily set themselves up for a short iron third shot and a chance for birdie on this easy-to-read green.

This short, tight dogleg right requires accuracy off the tee, with out of bounds on both sides and bunkers guarding the landing area. Long drives can easily go through the fairway and into trouble. The green is guarded by two bunkers and slopes severely from back to front. Approach shots below the hole provide the best birdie opportunities. Long shots over the green make par almost impossible.

A strong drive gives the golfer a choice on this well designed challenging par 5. The last 100 yards of the hole is a hard dogleg right, which, for those trying to reach the green in two, leaves a blind shot to a well guarded shallow green with a pond in front and out of bounds behind and to the right.  A safe second shot to the bend leaves a wedge to the green. This green breaks harder left to right than it appears.

The first par 3 on the course is fairly simple with just one bunker to right and a few tricky grass mounds to the left. The green slopes strong to the front left, so tee shots should remain below the flag for the best chance at birdie. Long shots over the green make par difficult.

What you see is what you get on this hole. The entire hole, as well as the Air Force Academy and the mountains, are in clear view from this elevated tee. The fairway is narrow and straight with bunkers guarding both sides of the landing area and out of bounds on each side beyond them. Once safely in play, the approach shot to the green is fairly easy with only a small bunker guarding the left side and plenty of open space in front.

This short par 4 is a dogleg right and offers plenty of challenges. The tee shot is critical. Long hitters can cut the corner over a house, leaving a short wedge shot to the green, while others can aim straight to the dogleg leaving a mid- to short-iron approach. Wayward shots can find out of bounds, plenty of rough and a bunker strategically placed on the inside of the dogleg’s bend.

This par 3 yields plenty of birdies, but wayward shots have to contend with bunkers, water, out of bounds, and a protective mound along the back of the green. Pay attention to the wind up high, which can be deceiving as the houses can block some of the wind at the tee box.  The green is deep, but putts roll true and are fairly easy to read.

This hole is a challenging end to the front nine. This long par 4 with a steep uphill second shot can be difficult to par with short or wayward drives. The narrow, deep and well protected green adds to the hole’s difficulty, and putts break more severely to the right and front than they appear. A par on this number one handicap hole is a great score and birdies are rare.

The tee shot is critical on this difficult dogleg right par 4. Long hitters can go over the right side tree to land in the bend, while others should aim straight down the fairway. Long, accurate drives will allow a clear open shot to the green, while shorter drives leave a long, blind shot to the green. Plenty of trouble awaits wayward drives. Fortunately, the green is large with little trouble around it.

The shortest par 4 on the course is a devilish one. The fairway on this dogleg left slopes right, so drives must be aimed left where out of bounds lurks. A well positioned bunker awaits tee shots that overshoot the fairway and anything right will find tough lies in the native rough.  Approach shots are uphill to a small, two-tiered green that challenges the best of putters. Have fun!

This beautiful par 3 with its elevated tee box gives the golfer an opportunity to visualize a high, soft shot to this receptive green. but be careful, the winds on the course’s highest point can be tricky, so club selection is key. the ponds offer some trouble in front, while long shots over the green make par a challenge. the area around the mound right front of the green is a popular collecting area.

This par 5 exemplifies the golf course designer’s imagination and gives the golfer several options. This dogleg left par 5 is reachable in two, but the hole changes elevation several times so, second shots are blind to a green that slopes away from the fairway with plenty of trouble awaiting - a pond in front and a steep drop off back and right of the green.  Off the tee, long drives can cut the corner to try get on top of the fairway, while others will aim straight so they can position their second shots, which are blind from the lower level, for a short iron third shot approach. Enjoy this marvelous hole!

The view from this elevated tee is spectacular. This is one of the shorter par 4's on the course and the green can be reached with a long drive. The landing area is blind off the tee with the second half of the hole runs downhill to the green. Aim center left of the fairway and you should be fine regardless of your length. The green is one of the more difficult to read on the course because it is an optical illusion. It may take a few rounds to figure out the breaks.

The longest par 4 on the course can be very challenging, especially when hitting into the typical afternoon winds. A strong drive must be followed by a accurate, long approach shot to have a chance at birdie. The open front allows for a reasonable shot at par for those who are just short in two. The green is relatively flat and putts are fairly easy to read.

The course’s longest par 3 hosts the largest and flattest green. The pond to the right does not come into play for most shots, but the mounds on both sides of the narrow opening do.  By the time you reach this hole late in a round, the winds can make this a tricky club selection.  Pay attention to pin placement, too, as it can play almost two clubs different from front to back.

This long dogleg right requires a solid drive followed by a long approach shot to a open green. Wayward drives can find tough lies in the native areas lining both sides of the fairway.  Second shots play about a half club longer as the unguarded green is deceptively uphill from the fairway.

This par 5 is reachable in two for long hitters, but a pond sits in the landing area ready to gobble up long drives. Drives must be placed in the opening to the right of the pond, which leaves a clear shot to the elevated green, one of the bigger ones on the course. Shorter hitters must hit their second shots into a narrow landing area, where a creek runs along the right side of the fairway then bisects the fairway at 100 yards out, and finishes to the left of the green.  This green is deep so pay attention to pin placement.
