We-Ko-Pa

Well, sorry for the neglect to the blog the last few months.  I never got around to posting pics from the two rounds at We-Ko-Pa from our family golf vacation to Arizona back in late June.  

We-ko-pa has two course - Cholla and Saguaro.  Both are unique and well worth playing.  This entry will be for our day spent on Saguaro.  The next will focus on Cholla.

This is the opening hole at Saguaro

Saguaro is a Coore-Crenshaw design.  Their style is to move very little dirt.  You feel that you are really playing the "land" on this course.  Very nice contours and an extremely natural feel to the entire course.  Beautiful scenery and lots of wildlife.  I swear I saw a Jackalope while at We-Ko-Pa.  It was the largest Jack Rabbit I've ever seen.  Easily the size of a Cocker Spaniel.  He took off before I could get the camera on him though.

Easy to see how the Saguaro course got its name. Mucho Cacti!

Beep! Beep!  A road runner speeds by our golf balls.

Just natural contours.  I love Coore-Crenshaw designs.

Their designs allow for run up shots, which make the course playable for all skill levels.

Split fairway Par 5.  Yes I drove my ball right in the middle ditch!

We had a very enjoyable day at the Saguaro course at We-ko-pa.  Highly recommended.  Alright, now to the next entry which will be the Cholla course at We-ko-pa!
