Designed by David Rainville, the Cathedral Canyon Country Club offers three nine hole courses that are played in three eighteen hole combinations. The greens are slightly sloped, but considered by locals as among the best in the area. The fairways vary in width, and you can see most of the greens from off the tee boxes.
The newly-opened Resort Course was designed with the Scottish-links style in mind. The rough bordering all the fairways is very high. This course is not exactly a target course because it allows for mistakes, but ponds do come into play on a few holes. The Lakeview Course is a target course, forcing the golfer to hit over numerous hazards to small landing areas. Water hazards come into play on every hole, so be sure to bring plenty of extra balls. The Mountainview Course is also a position course. The fairways have some hills that can cause uneven lies, but they are mostly flat. The signature hole is #7 on the Mountainview Course. On this 423-yard, par 4, anything less than a straight tee shot will land in a hazard. The tiered green is large and oval shaped, making it difficult to two putt.
