Beacon Rock Golf Course Overview

Beacon Rock sits on flat river ground framed by steep Gorge walls. The course is short by modern standards, but it asks for accuracy and smart club choices. Trees pinch fairways on several holes, and a few doglegs reward players who pick a side and commit. There are no bunkers, which puts more weight on line and distance control. Greens roll at moderate speed with mostly gentle slopes. The design works for beginners and for casual walkers who want a quick round. Regulars often play 18 by looping the nine twice with different tees.
