The Wyndham Peaks Resort in Mountain Village. The
spectacular course winds around the beautiful mesa
including crossing several ski runs. The course is
lined with multi-million dollar vacation homes and
shimmering aspen trees. The par 71 course is relatively
short, because of the altitude - 9,400 feet above
sea level - and is a special test of your golf skills,
that is if your not concentrating on the scenery.
